Summary Statement of Deficiencies D5215 EVALUATION OF PROFICIENCY TESTING PERFORMANCE CFR(s): 493.1236(b)(2) The laboratory must verify the accuracy of any analyte, specialty or subspecialty assigned a proficiency testing score that does not reflect laboratory test performance (that is, when the proficiency testing program does not obtain the agreement required for scoring as specified in subpart I of this part, or the laboratory receives a zero score for nonparticipation, or late return or results). This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on surveyor review of the Proficiency Testing (PT) records and interview with the Testing Personnel (TP), the laboratory failed to verify the accuracy of PT results obtained from the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) for the third Hematology event in 2024 from 11/14/24 to 3/4/25. The finding includes: 1. The laboratory received a score of 100% for the analytes Hemoglobin and Hematocrit %. for samples AT-11,12,13,14 and 15 for the Third Hematology event in 2024 2. The results stated "not scored- insufficient peer group." 3. The WSLH PT report states "Federal regulations require an automatic score of 100% for not scored or non- consensus samples, but this may not be indicative of instrument/method performance. Participants flagged as such must perform and document an internal self-evaluation to satisfy regulatory/accreditation requirements. 4. There was no documented evidence the laboratory performed and documented an internal self evaluation for the not scored samples by WSLH. 5. The TP #1 as listed on the CMS-209 form confirmed on 3/4/25 at 11:20 am, the accuracy of the PT results were not verified.
