Summary Statement of Deficiencies D5401 PROCEDURE MANUAL CFR(s): 493.1251(a) (a) A written procedures manual for all tests, assays, and examinations performed by the laboratory must be available to, and followed by, laboratory personnel. Textbooks may supplement but not replace the laboratory's written procedures for testing or examining specimens. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on the lack of laboratory written policies and procedures for Total Protein and interviews with the laboratory staff (LS) it was determined that the laboratory failed to have available and follow by all testing personnel written procedure for the Total Protein test performed in the laboratory. The findings included: 1. On the day of the survey on March 21, 2025, at approximately 12:15 p.m. the laboratory failed to provide written policies and procedures for Total Protein test performed daily in the laboratory. 2. The LS confirmed on 03/21/2025 at approximately 2:30 p.m. that the laboratory did not have written policies and procedures available for the Total Protein test performed in the laboratory. 3. Based on the laboratory's annual testing volume declaration signed by the laboratory director on 03/20/2025, the laboratory processes and reports 30,524 Total Protein samples annually for which the laboratory did not have a written procedure approved by the laboratory director available and followed by all testing personnel. D5403 PROCEDURE MANUAL CFR(s): 493.1251(b) (b) The procedure manual must include the following when applicable to the test procedure: (b)(1) Requirements for patient preparation; specimen collection, labeling, storage, preservation, transportation, processing, and referral; and criteria for specimen acceptability and rejection as described in 493.1242.

(b)(3) Step-by- step performance of the procedure, including test calculations and interpretation of results. (b)(4) Preparation of slides, solutions, calibrators, controls, reagents, stains, and other materials used in testing. (b)(5) Calibration and calibration verification procedures. (b)(6) The reportable range for test results for the test system as established or verified in 493.1253. (b)(7) Control procedures. (b)(8)

Summary Statement of Deficiencies D0000 A proficiency testing desk review survey was performed on 12/19/2024, the laboratory was found not in compliance with the following CONDITION LEVEL DEFICIENCIES D2016 - 42 C.F.R. 493.803 Condition: Successful participation [proficiency testing]; D6000 - 42 C.F.R. 493.1403 Condition: Laboratories performing moderate complexity testing; Laboratory Director. D2016 SUCCESSFUL PARTICIPATION CFR(s): 493.803(a)(b)(c) (a) Each laboratory performing nonwaived testing must successfully participate in a proficiency testing program approved by CMS, if applicable, as described in subpart I of this part for each specialty, subspecialty, and analyte or test in which the laboratory is certified under CLIA. (b) Except as specified in paragraph (c) of this section, if a laboratory fails to participate successfully in proficiency testing for a given specialty, subspecialty, analyte or test, as defined in this section, or fails to take remedial action when an individual fails gynecologic cytology, CMS imposes sanctions, as specified in subpart R of this part. (c) If a laboratory fails to perform successfully in a CMS- approved proficiency testing program, for the initial unsuccessful performance, CMS may direct the laboratory to undertake training of its personnel or to obtain technical assistance, or both, rather than imposing alternative or principle sanctions except when one or more of the following conditions exists: (1) There is immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety. (2) The laboratory fails to provide CMS or a CMS agent with satisfactory evidence that it has taken steps to correct the problem identified by the unsuccessful proficiency testing performance. (3) The laboratory has a poor compliance history. This CONDITION is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of the Certificate and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) - 0155D and AAB-Medical Laboratory Evaluation records (2024-2 and 2024-3), the laboratory failed to successfully participate in a proficiency testing Statement of Deficiencies (X1) Provider/Supplier/CLIA Identification Number (X3) Date Survey Completed Name of Provider or Supplier Street Address, City, State -- 1 of 3 -- program approved by HHS for each specialty, subspecialty and analyte or test in which the laboratory is certified under CLIA, the laboratory failed to successfully participate in the specialty of Routine Chemistry, analyte Total Protein, resulting in unsuccessful performances. Refer to D2130 and D2131. D2096 ROUTINE CHEMISTRY CFR(s): 493.841(f) Failure to achieve satisfactory performance for the same analyte or test in two consecutive testing events or two out of three consecutive testing events is unsuccessful performance. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) Report 0155D Individual Laboratory Profile and AAB-Medical Laboratory Evaluation report, the laboratory failed to achieve satisfactory performance for two consecutive events (2024 second & third testing events) for the analyte Total Protein: The findings include: 1. Total Protein - 0% 2024 second testing event, 2. Total Protein - 20% 2024 third testing event. AAB-Medical Laboratory Evaluation confirmed the above findings. D2097 ROUTINE CHEMISTRY CFR(s): 493.841(g) Failure to achieve an overall testing event score of satisfactory performance for two consecutive testing events or two out of three consecutive testing events is unsuccessful performance. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) Report 0155D Individual Laboratory Profile and AAB-Medical Laboratory Evaluation program report, the laboratory failed to achieve satisfactory performance for two consecutive events (2024 second & third testing events) for the pecialty of Routine Chemistry: The findings include: 1. Routine Chemistry - 0% 2024 second testing event, 2. Routine Chemistry - 20% 2024 third testing event. AAB- Medical Laboratory Evaluation confirmed the above findings. D6000 MODERATE COMPLEXITY LABORATORY DIRECTOR CFR(s): 493.1403 The laboratory must have a director who meets the qualification requirements of 493. 1405 of this subpart and provides overall management and direction in accordance with 493.1407 of this subpart. This CONDITION is not met as evidenced by: Based on a proficiency testing desk review of the CASPER 0155D report and AAB- Medical Laboratory Evaluation records for 2024-2 and 2024-3 proficiency events, the laboratory director failed to provide overall management and direction of the laboratory services.
