Good morning,

Quick question regarding invasive procedures (fine wire emg): if a lab does not include the procedures in any clinical motion studies, what should be reported in the the application?

[carollo]

Good question. Just document in the application material that the lab does not provide any invasive procedures and therefore does not need to respond to questions related to such procedures. Do that at every section that asks you to describe those procedures; just a brief one sentence statement to remind the reviewer not to look for it in the application. Providing invasive procedures such as fine-wire EMG are not required for accreditation.

Thanks for posting a question.
