Abstract:
Vectors of malaria, filaria, dengue, chikungunya, zika, japanese encephalitis, and kala-azar play an important role in the disease transmission in different eco-settings with variable climatic conditions. Ticks, mites, and fleas also pose a threat to new emerging and re-emerging vector-borne diseases, i.e. Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD), Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), scrub typhus, and other rickettsioses. Now, the time has come that field oriented entomological work has to shift from open, field based towards closed medical entomological laboratories for undertaking molecular research and pathogen/ virus detection among vector species handling them by minimising human risks. It is imperative to note that there is a strong need for a standard protocol for effective medical entomological laboratory practices while handling the pathogen carrying vector species under laboratory conditions. This may help to prevent the transmission of pathogens/ viruses in case of accidental release of vectors carrying pathogens/ viruses from the entomology laboratories. Such protocols would always help the scientists to minimise risks working in closed conditions. Though, there are guidelines/ procedures available for developing medical entomology laboratory, having facilities for insect rearing, its handling and equipment, however, no specific published protocol or guidelines exist presently in the Indian context. In the present manuscript, the need for a standard protocol for arthropod containment levels (ACLs 1- 4) along with the appropriate bio-safety levels based on the risk potential of pathogen carried by the vector species has been discussed for its application at the ground by the respective health authorities/ institutions.The presence of Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) and guidelines on Good Medical Entomology Laboratory Practices (GMELP) would help the professionals working in a medical entomology laboratory to minimise risks. There is a need to develop and follow Good Medical Entomology Laboratory Practices (GMELP) for handling the vectors (Arthropods) carrying the pathogens/ viruses at the national/ state/ district level as well as by the research institutes, medical colleges, and universities. The present concept note shall help to provide a guiding principle to develop standard operating procedure (SoP)/ Guidelines for GMELP.

Abstract:
This is a translation of the paper “Recommendations for the application and follow-up of quality controls in medical biology laboratories” published in French in the journal Annales de Biologie Clinique (Recommandations pour la mise en place et le suivi des contrôles de qualité dans les laboratoires de biologie médicale. Ann Biol Clin (Paris). 2019;77:577-97.). The recommendations proposed in this document are the result of work conducted jointly by the Network of Accredited Medical Laboratories (LABAC), the French Society of Medical Biology (SFBC) and the Federation of Associations for External Quality Assessment (FAEEQ). The different steps of the implementation of quality controls, based on a risk analysis, are described. The changes of reagent or internal quality control (IQC) materials batches, the action to be taken in case of non-conform IQC results, the choice of external quality assessment (EQA) scheme and interpretation of their results as well as the new issue of analyses performed on several automatic systems available in the same laboratory are discussed. Finally, the concept of measurement uncertainty, the robustness of the methods as well as the specificities of near-patient testing and rapid tests are described. These recommendations cannot apply for all cases we can find in medical laboratories. The implementation of an objective alternative strategy, supported with documented evidence, might be equally considered.

Abstract:
SummaryDuring the 20th century understanding for quality has changed and international and national requirements for quality have been published. Therefore also medical branches started to establish quality management systems. Quality assurance has always been important for medical laboratories. Certification according to the standard ISO 9001 and accreditation according to the standard ISO 17025 have been the proof of fulfilling quality requirements. The relatively new standard ISO 15189 is the first standard for medical laboratories. This standard includes technical and management requirements for the medical laboratory. The main focus is the proof of competence within the personnel. As this standard is accepted throughout the European Union an increase in accreditations of medical laboratories is predictable.

Abstract:
Accreditation is an instrument which confirms competence according to the international standards. Accreditation Body of Serbia and Montenegro (JUAT) is a federal body which manages accreditation system in Serbia and Montenegro. Within its activities of determining competency of organizations for carrying out certification of conformity assessment it also carries out the accreditation of testing laboratories. Within this kind of accreditation very important place belongs to the accreditation of medical laboratories. Generally, requirements for the competence of testing laboratories are given in standard JUS ISO IEC 17025 which cover testing process. A the medical laboratories have broader field of activity than the usual one for testing laboratories and as they include preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical phase of activity, it is necessary for general requirements to be adapted to the additional specifically requirements related to the activities of medical laboratories. It is those additional requirements that are recognized by the standard ISO/IEC 15189 Quality Management in the Medical Laboratory. For these reasons JUAT has established a commission for generating the accreditation scheme for laboratories in the field of medicine with the task to build and develop accreditation scheme for medical laboratories. In this project for accreditation scheme of medical laboratories development, JUAT has included known and respectful experts in medical science, who will contribute by their expertise, experience and competency in establishing and implementation of requirements necessary at accreditation of medical laboratories.

Abstract:
Abstract In 1975 the Centers for Disease Control, in cooperation with the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Cholesterol Reference Method Study Group, began an investigation to develop a reference method for total cholesterol. Five potential reference methods were compared with the definitive method developed by the National Bureau of Standards before the chemical method of Abell et al. (J Biol Chem 1952;195:357-66) was selected as the recommended reference method. Because acceptance of a proposed reference method depends so greatly on the method's capability for transfer to other laboratories by written specifications and instructions, a transferability testing study was designed and conducted with 14 laboratories. The study consisted of preliminary testing of readiness of equipment, reagents, and personnel followed by transferability testing with eight runs on 10 serum pools. Laboratoires that did not meet readiness specifications had higher CVs in the transferability testing. The study demonstrated that the proposed method permits laboratories to attain a CV of less than 1.5% for one laboratory and of less than 3.0% among laboratories. The mean percent bias value was less than 1.0% for six of the 14 laboratories, less than 1.5% for 12, and less than 3.0% for all 14 laboratories.

Abstract:
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive bacterium that is frequently encountered on surfaces such as benches and skin. This organism being a normal flora of the skin is usually nonpathogenic but becomes pathogenic when found outside its normal flora where it can cause varying number of infections such as nosocomial infections and sepsis which may even lead to death if left untreated. This research was therefore carried out to determine the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus on noncritical surface areas including: Furniture, Doors and Windows of the laboratories of Federal College of Medical Laboratory Science & Technology Jos, Nigeria. Samples were processed, examined and analyzed accordingly. It was observed that out of the 120 samples examined, 8 were gram positive cocci in clusters under Gram staining examination Coagulase and catalase tests were positive indicating specific biochemical tests to identify the organisms in the 8 organisms as Stapylococcus aureus showing a prevalence rate of 6.67%. The 17 working Benches examined, 3(2.50%) were positive. Out of 75 Chairs examined, 5(4.17%) were positive. The 18 Windows examined, 10 Doors examined showed no growth for Staphylococcus aureus. Distribution according to laboratory sections showed that, out of the 95 samples in main laboratory, 6(5.00%) were positive. Out of the 14 samples examined in side laboratory one, 2(1.67%) were positive while none 0(0.0%) was positive out of 11 samples examined in side laboratory two. The isolation of Stapylococcus aureus from these locations stresses the urgent need for public enlightenment campaigns by the appropriate authorities to educate the laboratory workers as well as the masses on the etiological agents, the possible risk factors, routes of transmission and health implication of Stapylococcus aureus infection and ways of preventing these bacteria in the Laboratories especially in Federal College of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology Jos Nigeria.

Abstract:
Abstract Risk is one of the greatest challenges in a medical laboratory. Risk-based thinking is a concept that always preoccupies medical laboratory technicians. The objectives of this work were to bring forward the specialty standards recommendations for the implementation of risk management principles in medical laboratory, the accreditation requirement of ISO 15189:2012; to demonstrate that the understanding of the fundamental notions of the concept of risk, the effectively apply of the means of identifying, assessing and controlling risks, and the risk monitoring and handling through strategies of acceptance, elimination, transfer and mitigation of risks can ensure the continuous improvement processes. A model to approach to risk management in a medical laboratory establishes the inputs, the outputs, the techniques, and the activities carried out in each of the following sub-processes of the risk management process: risk management process planning, risk identification, risk analysis and evaluation, development of the risk response plan and risk monitoring, control and revision. The concepts of risk and risk management are applied accordingly to standards ISO 31000:2018 and ISO 22367:2020 of International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Risk management ensures that the fundamental requirements for healthy, proactive internal control of the medical laboratory are met.

Abstract:
In the past decade there has been a lot of attention to the quality of the evidence in experimental psychology and in other social and medical sciences. Some have described the current climate as a ‘crisis of confidence’. We focus on a specific question: how can we increase the quality of the data in psychology and cognitive neuroscience laboratories. Again, the challenges of the field are related to many different issues, but we believe that increasing the quality of the data collection process and the quality of the data per se will be a significant step in the right direction. We suggest that the adoption of quality control systems which parallel the methods used in industrial laboratories might be a way to improve the quality of data. We recommend that administrators incentivize the use of quality systems in academic laboratories.

Abstract:
The new international standard EN ISO 15189:2003 ?Medical laboratories - particular requirements for quality and competence?, after many delays, was finally published in February 2003. This standard has been developed specifically to address requirements for accreditation of medical laboratories. It takes into account the special constraints imposed by the medical environment and the essential contribution of the medical laboratory service to patient care. It recognizes that medical laboratories provide not only testing of patient samples, but also advisory, interpretative and educational services. It also acknowledges the role of diagnostics manufacturers in maintaining the quality of medical laboratory services. The international standard ISO/IEC 17025 ?General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories? is already used in some countries for accreditation of medical laboratories. This is a standard which was developed mainly for use in industrial testing laboratories, and has serious deficiencies when used in the medical environment. While still in draft form, 15189 was already approved by ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation) as a suitable basis for accrediting medical laboratories. It is expected that this document will be used widely in Europe and throughout the world as the preferred standard for this purpose. An informal survey of FESCC member societies shows that 15189, alone or in combination with other standards, will be used in almost all European countries for accreditation of medical laboratories. A further complementary standard, ISO 15190 ?Medical laboratories - requirements for safety? has now been published. A standard for quality and competence in Point Of Care Testing (POCT) is under development, and will be published as a new Annex to EN ISO 15189. These standards will for the first time provide a common basis for the development of quality systems and requirements for competence in medical laboratories throughout the world.

Abstract:
Background: This study was conducted with the objective to assess the medical laboratories attached with primary health centres (PHCs) focusing on the current needs, gaps and to understand the utilization pattern of the laboratory services. There are hardly any relevant studies that are known to have investigated the functioning of laboratories attached with PHCs based on quality of service they are providing.Methods: This study was a cross sectional study based on observations and assessment made at 33 randomly selected medical laboratories attached with PHCs in Ahmedabad district, Gujarat. Checklist adapted from National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) and Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) were used as a tool for data collection.Results: Though all the laboratories have been found to be functioning effectively based on the indicators in this study, some of the laboratories were not performing basic important tests like rapid plasma reagin (RPR) (18%) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HbSAg) (21%). None of the laboratories attached to the PHCs under study performed Widal test. There was very low utilization of urinary pregnancy test (UPT) (1.81%) in the first quarter of the year.Conclusions: Although most of the indicators reflect satisfactory performance of the laboratories, there exists certain gaps and needs that are essential in provision of quality laboratory services in the primary level of health care. The laboratory information management system (LIMS) was the major issue in the laboratories.

Abstract:
AbstractThe definition and enforcement of reference measurement systems, based on the implementation of metrological traceability of patient results to higher-order (reference) methods and/or materials, together with a clinically acceptable level of measurement uncertainty (MU), are fundamental requirements to produce accurate and equivalent laboratory results. The MU associated with each step of the traceability chain should be governed to obtain a final combined MU on clinical samples fulfilling the requested performance specifications. MU is useful for a number of reasons: (a) for giving objective information about the quality of individual laboratory performance; (b) for serving as a management tool for the medical laboratory and in vitro diagnostics (IVD) manufacturers, forcing them to investigate and eventually fix the identified problems; (c) for helping those manufacturers that produce superior products and measuring systems to demonstrate the superiority of those products; (d) for identifying analytes that need analytical improvement for their clinical use and ask IVD manufacturers to work for improving the quality of assay performance and (e) for abandoning assays with demonstrated insufficient quality. Accordingly, the MU should not be considered a parameter to be calculated by medical laboratories just to fulfill accreditation standards, but it must become a key quality indicator to describe both the performance of an IVD measuring system and the laboratory itself.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: There are no national guidelines specific for handling prion-associated specimens in Canadian medical laboratories. Medical laboratory workers may perceive themselves at risk of prion transmission and, on occasion, decline to process such specimens.OBJECTIVE: To examine the knowledge, attitudes and reported behaviours of medical laboratory workers in relation to prion disease to understand their risk perception and the need for national laboratory guidelines on prion infection control.DESIGN: Survey development and cross-sectional web-based administrationMETHODS: The survey was developed through key informant interviews and a modified Delphi process. Medical laboratory workers across Canada were invited by laboratory managers and national organizations to complete the web-based survey.RESULTS: Twelve key informant interviews were performed. Consensus for questionnaire content was reached through two rounds of the Delphi process. Responses were received from 426 Canadian medical laboratory workers; 37% of medical laboratory staff reported processing prion-associated specimens. Different protocols for specimen processing were followed, and 18% believed they were at risk when processing these specimens. Less than one-third of those receiving specimens believed they were adequately trained. The mean (±SD) knowledge score was 9.25±4.5/24; individuals who had received training scored significantly higher than those who were untrained (P<0.01). Eighty-one per cent of respondents would be more comfortable processing specimens if national guidelines existed and were used in their laboratory.CONCLUSION: There is a high perception of risk and few perceived benefits of processing prion-associated specimens. National guidelines for prion infection control in medical laboratories and adequate training would enable medical laboratory workers to process these specimens efficiently and confidently.
