All about MT
 01 Definition of MT
• A medical technologist (MT) a highly skilled
professional who tests and analyzes blood, b
odily fluids, and tissue samples. A medical t
echnologist works in all areas of the lab, incl
uding immunology, microbiology, genetics,
histology, chemistry, and toxicology.

• Medical technologists typically work under t

he supervision of a pathologist but are somet
imes tasked with operating a lab independent
ly. Medical technologists will oversee the wo
rk of lab technicians in addition to managing
their own duties.
 The duties of medical technology is more focused on
laboratory examinations, while the duties of MLT are
typically tasked with setting up, calibrating, sterilizing, and
testing lab equipment.
 They might also prepare the reagents used in lab tests or
perform routine assays.
02 The duties of
MT
• Analyzes blood cells by counting and identifying
cells, using microscopic techniques and procedures.

• Determines normal and abnormal components of

body fluids by conducting chemical analyses of
blood, urine, spinal fluids, and gastric juices.

• Provides medical technology information by

answering questions and requests.

• Maintains patient confidence and protects the

hospital by keeping information confidential.
 03 The role of MT
Clinical Pathology
• In clinical pathology, the technologist would con
duct and oversee lab tests on body fluids. The tes
ts are performed to identify markers for infectiou
s and non-infectious diseases. Among the specim
ens a medical technologist will typically analyze
are:
1. Blood
2. Urine
3. Sputum (phlegm)
4. Stool (feces)
5. Spinal fluid
6. Pleural fluid
7. Peritoneal fluid
8. Joint fluid
9. Bone marrow
 03 The role of MT
Transfusion Medicine
A technologist working in transfusion medicine
ensures that there is an adequate and safe supply
of blood in a blood bank. Other tasks may
include blood typing and screening the blood for
infectious diseases, such as HIV and viral
hepatitis.
Procedural Expertise
Medical technologists are responsible
for preparing tissue samples, slides,
and cultures for the pathologist to
examine, streamlining the diagnostic
process and allowing for faster lab
results.
 Value of Medical Technology
• Medical technologies can save
lives, improve health and
contribute to sustainable
healthcare.
• Through innovative devices and
diagnostics, the industry delivers
value to patients, healthcare
professionals, and healthcare
systems and society.
Medical devices
• A medical device can be an instrument, apparatus,
appliance, software, implant, reagent, material or
other articles. From syringes and wheelchairs to
cardiac pacemakers and medical imaging
technologies (such as MRI, CT and X-ray
machines), medical devices can play a range of roles
in maintaining and restoring health.
