Yes, the use of the Maine Standards products meets the requirements for AMR validation and also for calibration verification. The CAP checklist, and CLIA ’88 regulations, require three points for AMR validation: lowest, midpoint and highest values. “’We [in the committee] prefer at least five,’ says Dr. Ashwood, ‘but CLIA says three,’ so the checklist question specifies three.”1 Maine Standards provides five levels and has multiple product configurations available to get as close as possible to the lowest and highest values for the many instrument systems available to maximize the AMR with no dilutions. 1.
