Summary Statement of Deficiencies D5403 PROCEDURE MANUAL CFR(s): 493.1251(b) The procedure manual must include the following when applicable to the test procedure: (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. (2) Microscopic examination, including the detection of inadequately prepared slides. (3) Step-by-step performance of the procedure, including test calculations and interpretation of results. (4) Preparation of slides, solutions, calibrators, controls, reagents, stains, and other materials used in testing. (5) Calibration and calibration verification procedures. (6) The reportable range for test results for the test system as established or verified in 493.1253. (7) Control procedures. (8)

Summary Statement of Deficiencies D5437 CALIBRATION AND CALIBRATION VERIFICATION CFR(s): 493.1255(a) Unless otherwise specified in this subpart, for each applicable test system the laboratory must perform and document calibration procedures-- (1) Following the manufacturer's test system instructions, using calibration materials provided or specified, and with at least the frequency recommended by the manufacturer; (2) Using the criteria verified or established by the laboratory as specified in 493.1253(b) (3)-- (2)(i) Using calibration materials appropriate for the test system and, if possible, traceable to a reference method or reference material of known value; and (2)(ii) Including the number, type, and concentration of calibration materials, as well as acceptable limits for and the frequency of calibration; and (3) Whenever calibration verification fails to meet the laboratory's acceptable limits for calibration verification. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of survey documentation, instrument calibration records, manufacturer operator's manual and interview with the technical consultant, the laboratory failed to follow manufacturer's instruction for calibration in 2019 (one of five calibrations reviewed). The findings include: 1. Review of documentation provided during the remote survey revealed the Beckman Coulter AcT Diff complete blood count instrument in use for patient testing. 2. Review of calibration records for the Beckman Coulter AcT diff CBC instrument revealed a failed reproducibility for the hemoglobin analyte for the calibration performed on 12.30.2019.
