Seeking Volunteer Participation on Project Committees - Call for Nominations

IT Security of IVD Instruments and Software Systems; Automated Verification of Clinical Laboratory Test Results; AST2-A to A2, Point-of-Care In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Testing; and AST3-A to A2, Wellness Testing Using IVD Devices

NCCLS is seeking subcommittee membership for the following proposed projects: IT Security of IVD Instruments and Software Systems; and Automated Verification of Clinical Laboratory Test Results, which are undergoing a progressive review process to assess the need and market potential for consensus document development. The proposals listed below have not yet been authorized for document generation. Rather, NCCLS is undertaking external assessments as background for consideration of approval. We are soliciting nominations at this early stage in order to: help assess member interest; identify a preliminary volunteer pool to promptly form the subcommittees; and expedite NCCLS’s overall process for developing consensus standards and guidelines.

In addition, the Area Committee on Point-of-Care Testing is inviting subcommittee participation to carry out revisions of NCCLS documents: AST2-A to A2, Point-of-Care In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Testing; and AST3-A to A2, Wellness Testing Using IVD Devices.

NCCLS volunteers, experts in the medical-testing community, share and enhance their technical expertise and work together to develop reliable and practical consensus standards and guidelines to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical laboratory practices and medical testing.

Join NCCLS volunteers! For more information on volunteer participation, to see the objective of the projects and the required volunteer expertise for members of the subcommittees, and to submit a nomination, click here.

The deadline to submit nominations, including a curriculum vitae and disclosure of interests form, to the NCCLS Executive Offices is 4 June 2004.
