Laboratory errors have a significant impact on patient safety. The manufacturers of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) products play an important role in the reduction of laboratory errors by ensuring the highest possible safety and efficacy of their products. In order to achieve this, the IVD industry has implemented rigorous product development and manufacturing processes. Many IVD companies apply Six Sigma principles in order to minimize variability within the whole product life cycle, starting with customer requirements, through product design and manufacture, as well as management of the potential issues that occur after the products have been released for use. A closer look into this process is presented here, using an evacuated blood collection tube as a model device.
