In this case, an assessment was made of the most characteristic risks of medical diagnostics in these conditions, the identification of risk factors, as well as their dependence on the conditions of use. Some methods of laboratory and clinical diagnostics and the possibilities of increasing their efficiency through the use of modern achievements in the medical and technical fields of scientific and technological progress, which allow solving this problem, are considered.
