#58682 RE: Helter Skelter #58677

Something I have found out...... There are so many diferent protocals for this that and the other, being approved very far is not likely. I was told by AOAC that one certification tests only 50 examples with a 90% expectancy for their approval while another tests 500 examples and requires a 97% expectancy, and so on. Expectancies are so wide spread in approvals that the government will likely have difficulty in fully accepting any device as genuinely worthy...... not to mention the criteria within those expectancy exams.

This is all assuming MMTC has anything at all. The picture is bleak in any direction.

Another thing I was told. Certifications are based on submitted criteria. AOAC does not in any way create or develop criteria. They only certify a device or method based on the criteria given them by the developer, builder, etc. This is why it is very important to know the criteria given AOAC by MMTC. The given test criteria could have been something no one would find valuable or it could be something more. This makes the one criteria brief posted on the board having shown being altered on todays date very suspicious.

In a nutshell, the certification is only worth what the given criteria was and will have great difficulty being widely accepted by the government or medical community.
