Tamer Soliman

The document provides guidance on writing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for clinical laboratories. It discusses the importance of SOPs for ensuring consistency, accuracy, and quality in laboratory testing. The document outlines different types of SOPs that could be written for various areas of the clinical laboratory, including procedures for sample handling, equipment use, reagents, and safety. It emphasizes that SOPs should be concise, detailed, clear, and easily understood. The document also provides a roadmap for writing, revising, approving, and implementing SOPs in the clinical laboratory.

Writing SOPs for ClinicalLaboratories – Dr. Tamer Soliman Good morning Sir Omar, The New Technologist has just assigned to the job recently He doesn’t know what his tasks are ! Sorry Sir, Mrs Nadia is on Vacation and No one could do her Job Sorry Doc, The new chemistry machine is troubleshooting How to manage? Sorry Sir, Tarek is very sick and No one could perform his work Doctor, The blood cell counter always gives Low hemoglobin values Sorry Doctor I can’t remember… in that Centrifugation step 3000 rpm for 5 minutes OR 5000 rpm for 3 minutes

Writing SOPs for ClinicalLaboratories – Dr. Tamer Soliman Following well-written SOPs would ensure : Consistency ‫تطابق‬ Accuracy 1 2 • Everyone should perform the tests exactly the same way • So that the same result can be expected from all staff. • Consistency enables people who use laboratory results to observe changes in a particular patient’s results over time. • Following written procedures helps laboratory staff produce more accurate results. • They not relying on memory alone so they will not forget steps in the process.
Writing SOPs for ClinicalLaboratories – Dr. Tamer Soliman Consistent (reliable) + Accurate results are primary goals of the laboratory Following well-written SOPs would ensure : Consistency ‫تطابق‬ Accuracy Quality 1 2 3 and could be considered as the definition of quality in the laboratory.
Writing SOPs for ClinicalLaboratories – Dr. Tamer Soliman A GOOD SOP should be : Concise, Detailed and Clear So that staff not normally performing the procedure will be able to do so by following the SOP All necessary details should be included (e.g. ambient temperature requirements and precise timing instructions) Easily understood by new personnel or students in training Reviewed and Approved by the laboratory management Approval is indicated by a signature and a date (this is important to ensure that the procedures being used for testing in the laboratory are those that are up to date and appropriate) Updated on a regular basis

Be careful when using Generic SOP template to prepare your own SOP Writing SOPs for ClinicalLaboratories – Dr. Tamer Soliman Attention • These generic SOPs always need to be checked and adapted to the situation in your laboratory. • Otherwise, the procedures performed in your laboratory are still not standardized and quality is not assured. • Your SOPs should be appropriate for your department. SOPs should take into account the conditions in your locale and the capabilities and limitations of your department.
Package inserts are NOT SOP’s Writing SOPs for ClinicalLaboratories – Dr. Tamer Soliman Attention • Package inserts do NOT include specific information that pertains to your laboratory. • Do NOT rely solely on manufacturer’s package inserts for SOP’s. • DO use information from the package insert to include in the SOP. • DO use illustrations from package inserts. ‫يتناسب‬
Spreading the tasks of writing SOPs over different staff members 1. Prevents the overloading of one staff member with a huge amount of work. 2. Increases the involvement and commitment of all staff members. Writing SOPs is a Team Mission Writing SOPs for ClinicalLaboratories – Dr. Tamer Soliman Attention
