clean bill of health

All-clear from doctor

A clean bill of health is official confirmation that someone or something is free from problems.

Originally a document certifying that a ship's crew carried no infectious disease, it now applies broadly: a doctor gives a patient a clean bill of health after an exam, or an auditor gives one to a company's finances.

The phrase emphasizes that no issues were found.
