Information is the major product of the laboratory. And so, it is then the duty of a medical technologist
to ensure that documents in the laboratory are clear, concise, user-friendly, explicit, accurate, and up-
to-date.
Practicing good laboratory documentation is much more than simply complying with FDA
regulations. It makes good business sense and can prevent catastrophic regulatory and product
quality problems. All of the expensive and critical activities performed in the laboratory are worthless
without a consistent means of recording them. An accountable and trace- able history of laboratory
activities is an essential part of compliance management, and must provide the objective means to
demonstrate integrity of the data, and the overall effectiveness of a quality system. An investment in
good laboratory documentation practice will pay significant dividends over time.
2. Quality assurance is a wide ranging concept covering all matters that individually or collectively
influence the quality of a product. It is the totality of the arrangements made with the objective of
ensuring that the product is of the quality required for its intended use. It denotes a system for
continuously improving reliability, efficiency, and utilization of products and services. Quality assurance
means getting it right the first time, every time.
