Abstract
Most of the laboratories in India are not well equipped to perform the tests required on routine basis and cater the requirement for the patients and the doctors to arrive for concluding the diagnosis. In the present scenario, 20th century the government, public and private sectors are investing an enormous fund to help the humankind and poor to get rid of their diseases and get diagnosed at the earliest for treatment. For this to make successful there are governing bodies for all the diagnostics centers to perform and mandatory to follow guidelines. The present study was conducted to compare and evaluation the accuracy of the machines (Pentra) and efficiency of the technicians performing the quality check on fully automated cell counters on routine basis following the West Gard rules and also maintaining the quality management systems of ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 15189:2012.
Aims and Objectives
The present study was conducted to compare and evaluation the accuracy of the machines (Pentra) and efficiency of the technicians performing the quality check on fully automated cell counters on routine basis following the West Gard rules and also maintaining the quality management systems of ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 15189:2012.
