It&#x27;s only &quot;sensationalist&quot; if you cherry-pick the most bureaucratic-sounding requirement, and ignore the first one in the list, which is a lot more fundamental to what a diagnostic lab does -- they&#x27;re violating some unspecified part(s) of the quality system requirements for labs:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gpo.gov&#x2F;fdsys&#x2F;pkg&#x2F;CFR-2011-title42-vol5&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;CFR-2011-title42-vol5-sec493-1215.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gpo.gov&#x2F;fdsys&#x2F;pkg&#x2F;CFR-2011-title42-vol5&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;CFR-...</a><p>These are horribly oppressive, bureaucratic, unnecessary requirements like &quot;maintain basic scientific controls&quot;:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;cfr&#x2F;text&#x2F;42&#x2F;493.1256" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;cfr&#x2F;text&#x2F;42&#x2F;493.1256</a><p>This also is a section, it&#x27;s worth nothing, that consists mainly of references to lots of other, more specific, requirements.
