• Methods and systems used in the development and operation of the LMS vary widely
from laboratory to laboratory.

provide a great number of the required documents; however, they may not be all
inclusive to cover all laboratory test, calibration, sampling, etc. activities.
• The blue text and suggestions displayed in the manual are intended to offer some
options and to highlight the areas that need attention / update / replacement.

the unique / customized information of your laboratory system requirements.
• Delete the blue text after each task is completed.
• Use replace function – enter “Your Company” / “Your laboratory” in find space, enter
your company name in replace space – system should make changes throughout the
entire document.
