(2)(ii) Precision. (2)(iii) Analytical sensitivity. (2)(iv) Analytical specificity to include interfering substances. (2)(v) Reportable range of test results for the test system. (2)(vi) Reference intervals (normal values). (2)(vii) Any other performance characteristic required for test performance. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: . A. Based on procedure review, document review, and interview with the Technical Supervisor (TS) and the General Supervisor #2 (GS2), the laboratory failed to establish performance specifications for the laboratory information system (LIS) for 7 ( April to November 2019) of 7 months testing patient specimens. Findings include: 1. Review of the laboratory procedure manual revealed a section labeled "Laboratory Information System" which stated the system is "validated with 2-5 specimens and monitored semiannually." 2. Document review revealed a lack of documentation for the validation of the LIS system and the semiannual review. 3. On 11/7/2019 when queried at 2:15 pm, GS2 was unable to provide the surveyor the documentation of the LIS system validation prior to reporting patient test results and the semiannually review. 4. During the interview on 11/7/219 at 2:15 pm, GS2 acknowledged the documentation for the validation of the LIS system was not available on the day of the survey. B. Based on record review and interview with the Technical Supervisor (TS) and General Supervisor #2 (GS2), the laboratory failed to establish and verify the performance specifications of analytic specificity for toxicology testing for 7 (April 2019 to November 2019) of 7 months reviewed. Findings include: 1. A review of the laboratory's "Prism Lab LLC Rochester Hills, MI Performance Validation Approval" book revealed a lack of documentation of an analytic specificity study for toxicology testing performed on the Sciex Triple Quad 5500 analyzer. 2. A review of the laboratory's procedure manual revealed a procedure titled "Initial Method Verification" did not include specifications for analytic specificity. 3. An interview on 11/7/19 at 1:42 pm with the TS and GS1 confirmed performance specifications of analytic specificity for toxicology testing were not available. C. Based on record review and interview with the Technical Supervisor and General Supervisor #2 (GS2), the laboratory failed to follow established performance specifications in the verification of Alprazolam and Hydromorphone testing for 7 (April 2019 to November 2019) of 7 months reviewed. Findings include; 1. A review of the laboratory's "Prism Lab LLC Rochester Hills, MI Performance Validation Approval" book revealed a section stating, "Review the Calibration curves for each primary transition to ensure that the R value of the regression is >0.9." 2. A review of the laboratory's "Prism Lab LLC Rochester Hills, MI Performance Validation Approval" book revealed the following analytes with the corresponding regression values: a. Alprazolam had a regression value of 0.84 b. Hydromorphone had a regression value of 0.89. 3. An interview on 11/7/19 at 1:17 pm with the TS and GS2 confirmed the laboratory did not adhere to the established performance specifications for the analytes listed above. 41759 -- 5 of 5 --
