title: [The associated law and the authorization for medical technologists that are necessary for clinical microbiological technologists].
abstract: In a clinical microorganism test domain, high quality laboratory study results are demanded, and quality control administration (QM: Quality Management) of laboratory studies with a guarantee of accuracy (QA: Quality Assurance) and high quality examination methods (GLP: Good Laboratory Practice) is indispensable. Maintenance of an appropriate legal system is necessary, including competent staff, a budget, and facilities for continuous monitoring. The associated law and the authorization for medical technologists that are necessary for medical technologists in charge of clinical microorganism examinations are explained: 1) Medical technologists are mainly concerned about the present conditions of duty restrictions, 2) Certification for clinical microbiological technologists and infection control microbial technologists (ICMT), 3) Nosocomial infection measures well informed person meeting report started to the special functioning hospital head on departmental order October 3, 2003, 4) ISO15189 2003, which is the international standard specifications for clinical laboratory quality and identification requirements (conformity range and management requirements for clinical microorganism tests ISO15190) for conformity ability mentioned security requirements for clinical laboratories.
