(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: Based on record review and interview, the laboratory failed to establish performance specifications for one (1) of one (1) newly implemented test systems not subject to FDA clearance as evidenced by the following: Beta Catenin and Actin ratio: Specificity a) A review of validation studies for the Beta Catenin and Actin ratio assay revealed that the laboratory failed to perform specificity studies as part of the validation. b) The laboratory director stated in an interview on 8/15/19 at 11:15 a.m. that he had performed a literature search of the assay and found that there was no interference from any other substances.
