Learn how to perform Internal Quality Control (IQC) in a medical laboratory with this step-by-step guide. Understand QC materials, Levey–Jennings charts, Westgard rules, corrective actions, and documentation requirements as per ISO 15189, NABL, and CLSI guidelines.

Validation studies confirm that a laboratory test method is fit for its intended use by demonstrating consistent, accurate, and reliable performance, ensuring compliance with ISO 15189:2022, CLSI, and NABL requirements.

Validation studies should be performed according to recognized international guidelines such as CLSI, ISO 15189, IFCC, CAP, and NABL. These references provide standardized procedures to ensure accurate, reliable, and compliant laboratory test results.

A Carryover Study is a validation process used to determine whether a high-concentration sample affects the result of the next low-concentration sample due to residual sample or reagent in the analyzer. It ensures accurate, reliable patient results and verifies that the analyzer does not cause significant sample-to-sample contamination.

A Precision Study evaluates the consistency of a laboratory test by repeatedly analyzing the same sample under defined conditions. It ensures reliable, reproducible results with minimal random variation and is an essential part of method validation under ISO 15189:2022 and CLSI guidelines.

Linearity in a medical laboratory refers to the ability of a test method or analyzer to produce results that are directly proportional to the concentration of an analyte within a specified measuring range.

Validation studies are essential in medical laboratories to ensure that a test method consistently delivers accurate, precise, and reliable results before it is used for patient testing. Following the requirements of ISO 15189:2022 and regulatory guidelines,

With the rise in diagnostic laboratories and the growing demand for quality accreditation, there’s a huge career opportunity emerging in the field of laboratory quality management and NABL consultancy. In this blog, we’ll explore how the healthcare and diagnostics sector is creating new roles for Quality Managers, Internal Auditors, NABL Consultants, and Quality Specialists - and how you can build a successful career in this field with the right training and skills.

Every medical laboratory handles biological materials that can pose health and environmental risks if not managed properly. Implementing strong biosafety and waste management practices isn’t just about compliance - it’s about protecting your staff, patients, and community. In this blog, we’ll explore the key biosafety principles and biomedical waste management practices every diagnostic laboratory must follow to maintain a safe, compliant, and NABL-ready environment.

From handwritten logs and paper SOPs to cloud-based documentation and AI-driven analytics - laboratory quality management is evolving rapidly. In this blog, we’ll explore how digital transformation is revolutionizing Quality Management Systems (QMS) in diagnostic laboratories, helping them achieve higher efficiency, accuracy, and compliance with ISO 15189:2022 and NABL requirements.

Getting NABL accreditation is a proud moment for any diagnostic laboratory - but maintaining it consistently is where the real challenge begins. Many labs lose focus after certification, leading to non-conformities during surveillance or renewal audits. This blog highlights the most common challenges laboratories face in maintaining NABL accreditation - and provides practical, step-by-step solutions to overcome them.

Behind every NABL-accredited laboratory, there’s a committed Quality Manager ensuring that every process runs smoothly, every report is reliable, and every standard is met. In this blog, we’ll explore who a Quality Manager is, what responsibilities they carry, and how their role directly impacts a lab’s journey to NABL accreditation - especially in small and mid-sized diagnostic laboratories.

Implementing a Quality Management System (QMS) in a small or medium-sized laboratory - especially in Tier-2 or Tier-3 cities like Patna, Gaya, Jhansi, or Gorakhpur - may sound challenging. But with the right approach, even a modest lab setup can achieve world-class quality and meet NABL and ISO 15189:2022 standards. This blog will guide you step-by-step through how to build a practical, cost-effective QMS tailored for small diagnostic laboratories.

Both IQC (Internal Quality Control) and EQA (External Quality Assessment) play vital roles in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of laboratory test results. While IQC monitors daily precision inside the lab, EQA checks the overall accuracy of results compared to other labs. In this article, we’ll explain the difference between IQC and EQA, how they work, and why both are essential for maintaining NABL and ISO 15189:2022 compliance.

Even the best laboratories face challenges during NABL audits - and most of them arise from common, avoidable mistakes. Understanding these Non-Conformities (NCs) helps you prepare better and maintain compliance with ISO 15189:2022 standards. In this blog, we’ll go through the top 10 NCs identified during NABL assessments and discuss simple, practical ways to prevent them.

Preparing for NABL accreditation can feel overwhelming - but with the right process and guidance, it becomes smooth and achievable. At Qualityveda, we divide NABL preparation into simple, structured stages that help every laboratory move from initial assessment to final certification with confidence.

The new ISO 15189:2022 standard brings several major updates that redefine how diagnostic laboratories manage quality, structure, and competence. This blog highlights the key changes from the previous version and helps you understand how to implement the new requirements effectively in your lab.
