Trust, but Verify: Getting the Most Out of Verification Protocols for FDA-Approved Methods

Can laboratories assume that all methods are acceptable?

Sadly, no. Labs are responsible for verifying that their methods perform “as advertised.”

Participants will learn how to implement and interpret the required verification studies performed when first using an FDA-approved method.

The workshop will focus on CLSI guidelines but include additional assessment tools such as Sigma metrics.

Participants will learn how to judge method performance objectively to determine whether or not the test is providing results that meet the required
quality for good patient care.
