Summary Statement of Deficiencies D3031 RETENTION REQUIREMENTS CFR(s): 493.1105(a)(3) Analytic systems records. Retain quality control and patient test records (including instrument printouts, if applicable) and records documenting all analytic systems activities specified in 493.1252 through 493.1289 for at least 2 years. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of hematology quality control (QC) records and confirmed by laboratory personnel identifier #2 (refer to the Laboratory Personnel Report) at approximately 11:00 am on 04/10/2019, the laboratory failed to retain hematology complete blood count (CBC) QC records for one out of three lot numbers of QC (lot 370718, expiration 09/05/2018) and 41 out of 62 days from 07/01/2018-08/31/2018. The findings include: 1. The laboratory performed two levels of CBC QC for each 24- hour period of patient testing, rotating between low, normal, and high. The laboratory documented which two levels were performed on the AcTDiff Maintenance Log. 2. At the end of use for each lot number, the laboratory printed the QC files stored on the hematology instrument and kept them as documentation of QC results. 3. The QC records from 07/01/2018- 08/31/2018 contained data for lot numbers 360718, expiration 09/05/2018 (low) and 380718, expiration 09/05/2018 (high), but not 370718 (normal). 4. Review of the July and August 2018 AcTDiff Maintenance Logs indicated the laboratory performed QC with lot number 370718 on the following dates: 07/01, 07/03, 07/04, 07/06, 07/07, 07/09, 07/10, 07/12, 07/13, 07/15, 07/16, 07 /18, 07/19, 07/21, 07/22, 07/24, 07/25, 07/27, 07/28, 07/30, 07/31, 08/02, 08/03, 08 /05, 08/06, 08/08, 08/09, 08/11, 08/12, 08/14, 08/15, 08/17, 08/18, 08/20, 08/21, 08 /23, 08/24, 08/26, 08/27, 08/29, and 08/30. 5. Laboratory personnel identifier #2 stated that the QC file for lot number 370718 had been deleted before it could be printed. 6. At the time of the survey, the laboratory did not have additional QC records for the previously listed dates.
