The Yellow Card Scheme and laboratory medicine

LabMed continues to support raising awareness of the Yellow Card Scheme for laboratory medicine in vitro diagnostics, helping laboratory professionals understand its role in reporting concerns about IVD devices. A new paper, “The Yellow Card Scheme for laboratory medicine in vitro diagnostics”, explores awareness and use of the scheme among laboratory professionals, to ensure laboratory quality and patient safety. 

The research highlights the role laboratories can play in identifying and reporting concerns with IVDs and points to gaps in awareness and use of the scheme. For laboratory teams, this raises an important consideration around whether staff know when and how concerns about IVDs can be reported.
