Conformity evaluation of afinion 2 analyzer maintainability: Compliance practicality for Philippine National Standard PNS ISO 15189:2013 accreditation

ABSTRACT

Objectives@#The implementation of Philippine National Standard PNS ISO 151892013 to support the medical laboratory to produce competent results is a recognised challenge. It is apparent that the approach of ensuring the equipment availability can be specifically optimised. No known research has focused on exploring on the conduct of conformity evaluation of Afinion 2 Analyzer maintainability for the PNS ISO 151892013 accredited medical laboratory. The aim of the current study was to develop a practical tool for the medical laboratory to support the internal audit process by determining the compliance status of Afinion 2 Analyzer maintainability.
