Fed Regist. 1994 Jan 6;59(4):682-5.
This rule amends certain personnel requirements for cytotechnologists that perform testing in laboratories subject to the requirements of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA). We are providing an adequate period of time for individuals to gain the necessary 2 years experience performing cytology testing which is currently included in two of the provisions for qualifying as a cytotechnologist. Also, we are extending the time for individuals to either meet the educational qualifications by virtue of completing training in an approved cytotechnology training program or be certified by an approved organization. We are making these changes to prevent the loss of qualified personnel in the field of cytotechnology.
本规则修订了对在符合1988年《临床实验室改进修正案》（CLIA）要求的实验室中进行检测的细胞技术人员的某些人员要求。我们为个人提供了足够的时间来积累必要的两年细胞学检测经验，目前这是成为细胞技术人员的两项资格规定之一。此外，我们延长了个人通过完成经批准的细胞技术培训计划来满足教育资格或获得经批准组织认证的时间。我们做出这些改变是为了防止细胞技术领域合格人员的流失。
