New “Talking A” approach explains the verification process and its role in the reliability of laboratory results.

Another edition of the series of educational conversations promoted by Controllab is on the air. This time, the interviewee was the manager of Controllab’s calibration laboratory, Fernanda Cavalcanti.

During the interview, Fernanda explained what instrument calibration is and emphasized the importance that calibrated equipment plays for the reliability of laboratory analyses.

Instrument calibration and RDC 786/2023​

The specialist also pointed out that article 61, of the new RDC 786/2023, signals that the calibration process must follow the periodicity recommended by the manufacturer of each equipment.

PEP 0003

Accreditation Cgcre/Inmetro - Proficiency Test Provider

In September 2011, Controllab was accredited by Inmetro’s General Coordination for Accreditation (CGCRE) as a proficiency test provider, under nº PEP0003. Initially as part of a pilot project by Inmetro, this accreditation was based on ILAC G13: 2007 and included several clinical and hemotherapy tests. In the periodic evaluations of this accreditation, new segments and tests are included and the evaluation is now conducted according to ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 17043.

This accreditation attests to Controllab’s technical competence to develop and conduct proficiency tests in accordance with international requirements and enables it to be recognized in other countries, in accordance with mutual recognition agreements signed by Brazil in Mercosur, the Americas and Europe.
