Which of the following is NOT a job duty of the testing personnel?

The responsibility of interpreting highly complex testing results typically lies with pathologists or clinical laboratory specialists rather than with the testing personnel, such as medical technologists. While testing personnel may perform the tests and ensure that they are conducted accurately and reliably, the interpretation of those results often requires a higher level of expertise and clinical context, which is beyond the scope of routine job duties for most testing personnel.

In contrast, inventory control, equipment maintenance, and ensuring the accuracy of reported results are fundamentally part of the day-to-day responsibilities of testing personnel. They must manage supplies, maintain and troubleshoot equipment to keep it functioning correctly, and verify that test results are reliable before they are reported to clinicians. Thus, these tasks are integral to the role of testing personnel in a medical laboratory setting.
