Findings include: 1. The laboratory participates in 3 PT events annually for testing performed in the specialties of Chemistry and Hematology. 2. The CMS-209, Laboratory Personnel Form presented during the survey conducted on 11/13/24 listed 17 testing personnel who routinely perform patient testing. 3. Interview with testing personnel during the survey confirmed that the PT samples were not rotated among the 17 testing personnel in the laboratory and that the same testing personnel: initals "SP" performed PT testing for every PT event from 2022- 2024. 4.

D2094 ROUTINE CHEMISTRY CFR(s): 493.841(e) (1) For any unsatisfactory analyte or test performance or testing event for reasons other than a failure to participate, the laboratory must undertake appropriate training and employ the technical assistance necessary to correct problems associated with a proficiency testing failure. (2) For any unacceptable analyte or testing event score, remedial action must be taken and documented, and the documentation must be maintained by the laboratory for two years from the date of participation in the proficiency testing event. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of Proficiency Testing (PT) records and interview with the testing personnel, the laboratory failed to undergo appropriate training and employ the technical assistance necessary to correct the PT failures for the regulated analytes, pH and PCO2 Blood Gas during the 3rd event of 2022. D5211 EVALUATION OF PROFICIENCY TESTING PERFORMANCE CFR(s): 493.1236(a) The laboratory must review and evaluate the results obtained on proficiency testing performed as specified in subpart H of this part. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on review of Proficiency Testing (PT) records from 2022 through 2024 and interview with the testing personnel (TP-1), the laboratory failed to provide a documented review of PT results from the 1st and 2nd testing events of 2024, 1st and 3rd testing events of 2023, and the 3rd testing event of 2022. Findings include: 1. The laboratory performs patient testing on the i-STAT under the specialties of Chemistry and Hematology. The laboratory performs 3,500 tests annually. 2. No evidence, either by written comment or signature, was presented during the survey conducted on 11/13 /2024 to indicate the laboratory director or other laboratory personnel reviewed the PT results for the 1st and 2nd testing events of 2024. 3. No evidence, either by written comment or signature, was presented during the survey conducted on 11/13/2024 to indicate the laboratory director or other laboratory personnel reviewed the PT results for the 1st and 3rd testing events of 2023. 4. No evidence, either by written comment or signature, was presented during the survey conducted on 11/13/2024 to indicate the laboratory director or other laboratory personnel reviewed the PT results for the 3rd testing event of 2022. 5. The TP-1 interviewed on 11/13/24 at 11:30 AM confirmed the PT results indicated above were not reviewed by laboratory personnel.
