Summary Statement of Deficiencies D2010 TESTING OF PROFICIENCY TESTING SAMPLES CFR(s): 493.801(b)(2) The laboratory must test samples the same number of times that it routinely tests patient samples. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of the laboratory's College of American Pathologist (CAP) proficiency testing (PT) records from 2023 and 2024, and staff interview on August 13, 2024 at 09:45 am, the laboratory failed to test blood gas proficiency testing samples on the laboratory's Siemens Epoc System in the same manner as it tested its patient samples for 4 of 5 PT events in 2023 and 2024. Findings include: 1. A review of the laboratory's CAP testing records from 2023 and 2024 revealed the laboratory tested PT samples multiples times with the same operators, for the following testing events: a) 2023 Blood Gas 1st Event ("AQ-A 2023 Critical Care Blood Gas w /Chemistry"), Kit ID: 37159326, CAP #: 1493501-01, March 14, 2023: i.
