41
Q

Written policy and program for the proper maintenance and monitoring of physical plant and facilities

Proposed schedule for…

A

preventive maintenance

42
Q

Preventive maintenance vs Repair

A

Preventive maintenance involves regular, scheduled upkeep of laboratory equipment to prevent breakdowns and ensure reliable performance.

Repair is the process of fixing equipment after it has already malfunctioned or failed.

43
Q

Preventive maintenance vs Repair

Which is more important?

A

Preventive maintenance is generally more important because it helps avoid equipment failures, ensures consistent performance, and extends the lifespan of laboratory instruments. It reduces the likelihood of costly repairs and downtime, keeping the lab running smoothly.

A

RA 6969 Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Waste Control Act of 1990

47
Q

A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is crucial in the disposal of laboratory wastes because….

A

it clearly outlines the responsibilities and protocols for handling and disposing of hazardous materials. It ensures that all parties involved follow legal and safety guidelines, minimizing the risk of environmental contamination and ensuring compliance with regulations

48
Q

54
Q

Purpose of QC

A

The purpose of Quality Control (QC) is to ensure that laboratory tests and processes are accurate, reliable, and consistent by systematically monitoring and maintaining high standards throughout the testing process. QC helps identify and correct errors, ensure compliance with regulations, and enhance the overall quality of laboratory results.

55
Q

How to perform QC

A

To perform QC in a clinical laboratory using high, low, and normal controls, regularly run these control samples alongside patient tests. High controls test the accuracy at the upper limit, low controls at the lower limit, and normal controls at expected values. Compare the results of these controls to their expected ranges to ensure that the testing system is functioning correctly. Document the results and take corrective actions if any controls fall outside the acceptable ranges.

* Regularly run control samples with known values to check if test results fall within acceptable ranges.*
