What does it mean to have an adequate quality assurance system?
An adequate quality assurance system consists of planned activities to ensure that testing is carried out correctly and that test results are as accurate and reliable as possible for all persons tested. CDC’s recommendations for quality assurance systems for rapid HIV testing — Quality Assurance Guidelines for Testing Using the OraQuick® Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test — are available at: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/testing/rapid/.
