Requirements for Accredited Laboratories
Adding or Replacing MR Systems
ICAMRL accredited laboratories adding or replacing an MR unit at any time during their three-year accreditation cycle are required to provide notification to the ICAMRL.
The following information is required:
- A letter stating that the laboratory has replaced or added an MR system

- Documentation of acceptance testing performed, prior to clinical use
- Quality assurance testing
