Summary Statement of Deficiencies D2020 BACTERIOLOGY CFR(s): 493.823(a) Failure to attain an overall testing event score of at least 80 percent is unsatisfactory performance. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on the surveyor's review of the laboratory's records for evaluation of proficiency testing performance and an interview with laboratory personnel (LP) on 8 /9/22 between 2:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m, it was determined that there were proficiency testing (PT) scores below 80 % for one testing cycle. The issue relates to Bordetella Parapertussis testing. Findings include: 1. On 8/9/22, an inspection was conducted between 2:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. 2. During a review of the laboratory documentation from AP (American Proficiency Institute- the agency providing the proficiency specimens), it was noted at approximately 2:30 p.m. that the laboratory had unacceptable Microbiology results as indicated below. The testing was performed on the BioFire FilmArray. 3. The findings and acceptable ranges were as follows: Cycle 1 2022 Test: Respiratory Bordetella Parapertusis Sample Actual Result Expected Result (range) Rsp-01 Detected Not Detected Rsp-02 Detected Not Detected Rsp-03 Detected Not Detected Rsp-04 Detected Not Detected Rsp-05 Detected Not Detected 4. The laboratory reporting testing for approximately 200 Respiratory Panels for a one year period, and Bordetella Pertusis is a component of the Biofire Respiratory panel. 5. The LP recognized the above results. D2075 GENERAL IMMUNOLOGY CFR(s): 493.837(a) Failure to attain a score of at least 80 percent of acceptable responses for each analyte in each testing event is unsatisfactory analyte performance for the testing event.
