Abstract
Test, measurement and calibration of medical equipments is becoming increasinglysignificant, when accuracy in diagnosis and effectiveness in treatment are required. Calibration andtesting of medical devices are one of the most important and critical issue in metrology field.Metrology link is not well established for measurements in medical field, hovewer metrological
traceability has been well established for measurements in technical and military field. For themedical device industry and applications in health sector, nothing counts more than the safety of a patient. Therefore all hospitals and medical equipment manufacturers have to perform periodic
testing and calibration of equipments, as a quality control regime that guarantees the reliability ofmedical devices. A feasibility study has been carried out and a report was published last year at TÜBÄ°TAK UME (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, National Metrology Institute) in order to outline the current situation in the country and in the world. A roadmap were prepared for providing of reliability and metrological traceability in medical measurements. Medical metrology research laboratory has been established and a number of medical device design projects were initiated.
