In parallel with this technology, the laboratory is equipped with a personalized computer system for each instrument, to avoid human errors and to memorize all the laboratory results of each patient, in real-time and continuously.
Success in the ITH laboratory is guided by the principles of medical ethics, accuracy, reliability and cooperation in the performance of laboratory examinations, and in the performance of middle and high qualified staff.
Laboratory diagnosis is carried out with modern and contemporary equipment according to the highest standards, but also in the selection of medium and high professional staff, who evaluate the laboratory results through standards and protocols approved by the CDC and QA. Laboratory standards are realized through procedures related to the reference materials used, procedures and reference techniques for each analysis and through secondary measurement procedures. The standardization of the programs in the contemporary way not only improves the laboratory measurements of the tests, but also guarantees the increase of their reliability. The performance of our laboratory is based on the programs defined by the CDC and QA (Quality Assurance).
