Quality Assurance

Magnum, the best pathology lab in India quality is a way of functioning, simply because it guarantees accurate and reliable results. Because we insist on pin-point precision even on routine tests, there is no compromise in upholding highest standards of quality.

Every process and every technician at Magnum is oriented towards quality. Apart from our stringent internal quality programs, the number of Indian and international accreditations that Magnum has received is a further testimony to our quality policy.

• All the techniques that we employ follow the SOP (standard operating procedure) and rely on our experience garnered over 3 decades.
• At Magnum, we have partnered with the US FDA/CE approved brands around the globe to use the best available technology and machines.
• Every reagent used for testing is additionally validated by us.
• Controls are run every day. The results are documented and transferred to Biorad Unity Real Time Software. The corrective action is implemented and documented in case of an outlier.
• Levy Jennings charts are documented and reviewed on a monthly basis for trend analysis.
• It is ensured that all instruments used for testing are calibrated at all times.
• Quality improvement, required by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), is used at Magnum to improve patient care and to address the needs of its customers. Through constant monitoring (by conducting surveys), Magnum ensures that customers are satisfied with the service they receive.
• To achieve and maintain high standards, Magnum’s Quality Assurance (QA) program monitors quality indicators each month. These address the quality of Magnum’s assays, as well as pre and post-analytical aspects of testing. Example indicators include: accuracy of laboratory reports; appropriateness of blood test samples, labeling, and transport conditions; assay precision and turnaround time.

Magnum has the advantage of having the nationally recognized accreditation.

National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is an autonomous body under the aegis of Department of Science & Technology, Government of India. It has been established with the objective to provide Government, Industry Associations and Industry in general with a scheme for third-party assessment of the quality and technical competence of testing and calibration laboratories. NABL maintains its linkages with the international bodies like International Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation (ILAC) and Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation (APLAC). NABL accreditation is a formal recognition of the technical competence of a testing or calibration laboratory for a specific task, which is based on third party assessment.
