ABSTRACT

The accurate and reliable performance of medical devices is paramount for ensuring effective patient care and diagnosis in healthcare settings. Ensuring proper calibration is necessary for preserving the accuracy of these instruments as time progresses. This article provides an extensive overview of the latest progressions in calibration methods for medical equipment. We discuss various calibration methods, standards, and technologies employed to guarantee the precision and dependability of medical devices across different healthcare domains. Additionally, we examine challenges and future directions in calibration practices, emphasizing the importance of standardized protocols, traceability, and quality assurance measures. This article shows to provide insights into the latest in calibration techniques for medical devices and to guide future research efforts in this critical area. It also addresses concerns regarding the accuracy of measurement outcomes in laboratory diagnostics, which serve as crucial factors in medical decision-making. To ensure the precise diagnosis, particularly when the measurement outcomes closely align with reference values, it is essential to assess the accuracy and uncertainties associated with these measurements. Also provides an example of estimating measurement uncertainties carried out in a medical laboratory. By analyzing laboratory data, the article assesses how well the obtained measurement results align with established standards.
