Qualification services help verify that iBright imaging systems are installed and operating according to manufacturer specifications. Installation qualification (IQ) and operational qualification (OQ) services are available to support laboratory quality and compliance requirements.

  • IQ: provides documented evidence and verification that the instrument has been delivered and installed according to manufacturer’s specifications
  • OQ: provides documented verification that the instrument subsystems are operating as designed and verifies that the functionality of an instrument meets the manufacturer’s operational specifications.

IQOQ is recommended at installation, after moving the instrument, after software or hardware upgrades, and after planned maintenance or critical repairs. Our qualification specialists will work with you to help deliver timely, cost-effective, and trusted qualification services that include reliable, audit-style documentation. 

 

You can add qualification services to complement your service plan.
