Validation, Verification, and Quality Assurance of Automated Hematology Analyzers; Proposed Standard - Second Edition
Scope/Abstract
This document provides guidance for the validation, verification, calibration, quality assurance (QA), and quality control (QC) of automated multichannel hematology analyzers for manufacturers, end-user clinical laboratories, accrediting organizations, and regulatory bodies. In addition, end-user clinical laboratories will find guidance for establishment of clinically reportable intervals and for QA for preexamination and examination aspects of their systems.
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
Section 5.5.7 Medically Allowable Error

Section 5.6.1 Instrument Calibration

Section 5.6.2Whole Blood Cross-Checks
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.

Section 5.5.7 is in conflict with methods to estimate bias and confidence intervals, see article listed below.

Section 5.6.1 is in conflict with 21 CFR 820.72 (b)(1), see the regulation listed below.

Section 5.6.2 is in conflict with 21 CFR 820.72 (b)(1), see the regulation listed below.
