Regional Laboratory Manual

LABORATORY PROCEDURE MANUAL

The CLIA '88 legislation requires that each site performing clinical tests have a procedure manual which includes safety instructions, specific instructions for each test performed, and instructions for quality control. The attached group of files have been developed for the Michigan Regional Laboratory System. Each Regional Laboratory Site is expected to have a copy of each procedure they use, all guidelines and whatever worksheets they use.  Like all laboratory documents, the files listed here are 'works in progress.' As new versions become available, they will replace older versions on this site. The files may be viewed and/or downloaded. They are in Microsoft Word or pdf format. If you would like to receive these files in WordPerfect format, or have comments or suggestions regarding these files, e-mail your request to the Regional Laboratory System Coordinator, Dr. Jeffrey Massey, at MasseyJ@michigan.gov.
