Neither test has received a certification for accuracy that is necessary for use in child custody cases, though Natera has applied.
An ASTM mercury-in-glass thermometer with traceable certification of accuracy (against NIST standards) was used to assess water bath temperatures.
To help meet the challenge of superior product development it will finally be essential to numerically 'flight-test' a virtual aircraft with all its multi-disciplinary interactions in a computer environment and to compile all of the data required for the development and certification with guaranteed accuracy in a reduced time frame.
It is unlikely that differences in death certification validity and accuracy can explain such large differences.
He will also ask the companies to document how the funds were used and to give the inspector general's office accuracy certifications.
For roughly the same money, I would rather have a Thermapen ($90), an instant-read thermometer that comes with a certification form verifying its accuracy to within a tenth of a degree.
Abstractors were required to maintain this benchmark of 98% accuracy to retain certification.
To our knowledge, only four previous groups [ 9, 11- 13] have implemented an educational intervention to improve the accuracy of death certification and measured the changes after the intervention.
In this paper, we describe the impact of an educational intervention delivered to several groups of medical residents designed to improve the accuracy of death certification.
First, as described above, the quality of data differs among countries in the WHO mortality database, and thus comparison is limited to those countries with good completeness and accuracy of death certification.
We evaluated the rate of errors in the completion of death certificates among medical residents from various specialties, before and after an educational intervention which was designed to improve the accuracy in the certification of the cause of death.
