The laboratory must monitor and evaluate the overall quality of the analytic systems and correct identified problems as specified in 493.1289 for each specialty and subspecialty of testing performed. This CONDITION is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, record review, and interview, the laboratory failed to monitor and remove expired chemicals and failed to correctly identified problems from July 2025 to March 12, 2026. See D5417 D5413 TEST SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT, INSTRUMENTS, REAGENT CFR(s): 493.1252(b) (b) The laboratory must define criteria for those conditions that are essential for proper storage of reagents and specimens, accurate and reliable test system operation, and test result reporting. The criteria must be consistent with the manufacturer's instructions, if provided. These conditions must be monitored and documented and, if applicable, include the following: (b)(1) Water quality. (b)(2) Temperature. (b)(3) Humidity. (b)(4) Protection of equipment and instruments from fluctuations and Statement of Deficiencies (X1) Provider/Supplier/CLIA Identification Number (X3) Date Survey Completed Name of Provider or Supplier Street Address, City, State -- 1 of 4 -- interruptions in electrical current that adversely affect patient test results and test reports. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on the review of the procedure manual, record review, and interview, the laboratory failed to document the room temperature and humidity for two days (08/22 and 08/29) out of three days (08/08, 08/22 and 08/29) of micrographical oriented histographic surgery (Mohs) surgical procedures performed in August 2025. Finding included: 1- Review of the Laboratory Daily Maintenance policy stated in step in "7. Temperature Charts and Logs are checked daily or whenever in use." 2- Review of the 2025 Room Temperature/Humidity Log revealed that there was no documentation for temperature on 08/22/2025 and 08/29/2025. This log also stated at the bottom of the form the following steps: "1. The room temperature will be checked at the beginning of each workday ... 2. The humidity will be documented at the beginning of each workday." 3- Review of the (Mohs) Patient log revealed that on 08/22/2025 the laboratory tested 15 patients, and on 08/29/2025 the laboratory tested 10 patients. A total of 25 patients were tested with no room temperature/humidity documentation by the laboratory technician. 4- During an interview on 03/12/2025 at 12:45 PM, the Practice Administrator confirmed that room temperature and humidity was not recorded. D5417 TEST SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT, INSTRUMENTS, REAGENT CFR(s): 493.1252(d) (d) Reagents, solutions, culture media, control materials, calibration materials, and other supplies must not be used when they have exceeded their expiration date, have deteriorated, or are of substandard quality.
