Calibration verification and linearity for reliable clinical laboratory testing
Thursday, October 23, at 17:00 BST | 11:00 CDT | 12:00 EDT | 9:00 PDT
Join Dr. Joe Wiencek, from Vanderbilt University, for a comprehensive session on calibration verification and linearity testing in clinical laboratories.
Dr. Wiencek will explore regulatory requirements, best practices, and real-world examples to help labs ensure accurate and reliable patient results. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how calibration verification supports quality assurance and compliance with CLIA and CAP standards.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand the definitions and distinctions between calibration, calibration verification, and analytical measurement range (AMR).
- Learn how to perform calibration verification experiments using equal delta protocols.
- Understand how to interpret linearity data and troubleshoot non-linearity issues.
- Discover how to apply regulatory standards (CLIA/CAP) to laboratory practices.
Who should attend?
- Clinical laboratory professionals
- Lab managers and QA/QC specialists
- Regulatory compliance officers
- Medical technologists and technicians
