Effective April 24, 2003 CLIA requires laboratories, at a minimum, to perform calibration and calibration verification procedures using the manufacturer's test system instructions and the criteria verified or established by the laboratory. Calibration must be performed whenever calibration verification procedures are unacceptable while calibration verification must be done using a minimum of 3 values to verify the laboratory's reportable range at least once every 6 months or whenever an event occurs as specified at 493.1217(b)(3).
