D8105 BASIC INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS CFR(s): 493.1773(e)(f)(g) (e) Reinspection. CMS or a CMS agent may reinspect a laboratory at any time to evaluate the ability of the laboratory to provide accurate and reliable test results. (f) Complaint inspection. CMS or a CMS agent may conduct an inspection when there are complaints alleging noncompliance with any of the requirements of this part. (g) Failure to permit CMS or a CMS agent to conduct an inspection or reinspection results in the suspension or cancellation of the laboratory's participation in Medicare and Medicaid for payment, and suspension or limitation of, or action to revoke the laboratory's CLIA certificate, in accordance with subpart R of this part. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: . Based on observation, record review, and interview with the laboratory director, the laboratory failed to allow reinspection on 10/2/25. Findings include: 1. A review of the laboratory's Form CMS-116 indicated the hours of operation to be "08:00 to 18: 00" Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. 2.

Summary Statement of Deficiencies D5207 COMMUNICATIONS CFR(s): 493.1234 The laboratory must have a system in place to identify and document problems that occur as a result of a breakdown in communication between the laboratory and an authorized person who orders or receives test results. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: . Based on observation, record review, and interview with the laboratory director, the laboratory failed to identify and document issues when receiving urine specimens for testing that was no longer performed by the laboratory because of a breakdown in communication with ordering providers for three (Patient Specimens 1-3) urine specimens with urinalysis testing ordered present in the laboratory. Findings include: 1. A review of the laboratory's allegation of compliance for D5401 revealed a section stating the laboratory has "permanently discontinued all urinalysis testing effective March 27, 2025" and "The LIS has been updated to block test orders. All relevant personnel were informed, and future urinalysis requests are referred externally." 2. The surveyor observed three urine specimens in the refrigerator on 5/14/25 at 11:09 am with urinalysis testing ordered after 3/27/25: a.

Summary:

Summary Statement of Deficiencies D0000 A validation survey was performed on March 4, 2025 by the State of Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Department. The laboratory was found to be out of compliance with CLIA regulations (42 CFR Part 93, effective April 24, 2003) for the following condition-level deficiencies: 493.1250 Condition: Analytic systems. 493. 1409 Condition: Laboratories performing moderate complexity technical consultant. 493.1487 Condition: Laboratories performing high complexity testing; testing personnel. D3009 FACILITIES CFR(s): 493.1101(c) The laboratory must be in compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local laboratory requirements. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: . Based on direct observation and interviews, the laboratory failed to operate as a separate laboratory to comply with 493.55 for two (March 2023 to March 2025) of two years reviewed. Findings include: 1. The surveyor observed the laboratory testing area at Laboratory A included equipment and supplies to capture digital images of histopathology and cytopathology patient slides on 3/4/25 at 9:16 am. 2. An interview on 3/4/25 at 9:30 am with technical consultant #2 revealed Laboratory A performed histopathology grossing and slide preparation and cytopathology slide preparation. Some slides or digital images are read at Laboratory A, while most are digitally imaged, and those images are sent to Laboratory B (23D2243041) along with some physical slides to be read. Laboratory B does not have histopathology or cytopathology subspecialties on their certificate. 3. An interview on 3/4/25 at 3:13 pm with the laboratory director confirmed the slide and digital image reading is performed at both locations but indicated on the test report to have been reported under Laboratory A. . Statement of Deficiencies (X1) Provider/Supplier/CLIA Identification Number (X3) Date Survey Completed Name of Provider or Supplier Street Address, City, State -- 1 of 5 -- D5400 ANALYTIC SYSTEMS CFR(s): 493.1250 Each laboratory that performs nonwaived testing must meet the applicable analytic systems requirements in 493.1251 through 493.1283, unless HHS approves a procedure, specified in Appendix C of the State Operations Manual (CMS Pub.7), that provides equivalent quality testing. 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 record review and interviews, the laboratory failed to follow its urinalysis test procedure (refer to D5401) and failed to perform and document immunohistochemical (IHC) stain positive and negative reactivity each time of use (refer to D5475). 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 record review and interview with technical consultant #2, the laboratory failed to follow its urinalysis test procedure for four (Patients 1, 2, 3, and 5) of five patient urinalysis test reports reviewed. Findings include: 1. A review of the laboratory's "Routine Urinalysis" test procedure revealed a section stating, "Specimens may be kept for up to 24 hours if refrigerated at 4 degrees C." 2. A review of the patient urinalysis test reports showed patients had testing performed and reports beyond the specimen stability requirements: a. Patient #1 collected 12/19/24 at 5:11 pm and testing was performed on 12/23/24 at 12:15 pm. b. Patient #2 collected 9/26 /24 at 8:43 am and testing was performed on 9/27/24 at 9:20 am. c. Patient #3 collected 1/24/24 at 2:32 pm and testing was performed on 1/25/24 at 3:30 pm. d. Patient #5 collected 5/21/24 at 4:37 pm and testing was performed on 5/23/24 at 4:02 pm. 3. An interview on 3/4/25 at 2:35 pm with technical consultant #2 confirmed the patient testing listed above was performed beyond specimen stability. D5475 CONTROL PROCEDURES CFR(s): 493.1256(e)(3)(g) (e)(3) Check fluorescent and immunohistochemical stains for positive and negative reactivity each time of use. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: . Based on record review and interview with the laboratory director, the laboratory failed to perform and document immunohistochemical (IHC) stain positive and negative reactivity each time of use for three (Patients 9, 10, and 11) of three patients with IHC stains reviewed. Findings include: 1. A review of patients with IHC staining -- 2 of 5 -- results on their test reports revealed a lack of documented positive and negative reactivity of stains with each use for the following: a. Patient #9 with the test report date of 6/5/24 for a shave biopsy of the torso back using the MART-1 IHC stain. b. Patient #10 with the test report date of 11/11/24 for a left superior laterial malar cheek shave biopsy with KI67 IHC stain. c. Patient #11 with the test report date of 3/10/24 for a bladder biopsy with p53 and Ki67 IHC stains. 2.
