HS3-A—Pulse Oximetry; Approved Guideline
Pulse oximetry is a widely used device for the clinical assessment of arterial oxygenation and pulse rate. The clinical applications, quality assessment, and limitations are discussed in this guideline.
GP28-A—Microwave Device Use in the Histology Laboratory; Approved Guideline
This document provides recommendations for reproducing the performance of microwave-accelerated procedures to prepare biological specimens in the histology laboratory.
Our procedures have been designed to ensure that consensus has been achieved when a standard or guideline is published at the approved level. This means that a document has been rigorously reviewed by the authoring subcommittee, the area committee overseeing the project, the Board of Directors, and the medical-testing community which participates in the consensus process by carefully reviewing and commenting on the standard or guideline. The listed approved consensus documents are available for purchase.
You may automatically receive or select approved-level documents as a member benefit. Find out more about joining CLSI. View membership options and benefits.
