The Medical Imaging Technology Alliance has been working with a consensus group on voluntary quality management system standards for third-party servicing, minus US FDA direction on the servicing quality issue, MITA'sPeter Weems told Medtech Insight.

Some servicers are signing on to the project, but some worry that voluntary standards could evolve into mandatory requirements.
