Summary Statement of Deficiencies D5437 CALIBRATION AND CALIBRATION VERIFICATION CFR(s): 493.1255(a) (a )Unless otherwise specified in this subpart, for each applicable test system the laboratory must perform and document calibration procedures-- (a)(1) Following the manufacturer's test system instructions, using calibration materials provided or specified, and with at least the frequency recommended by the manufacturer; (a)(2) Using the criteria verified or established by the laboratory as specified in 493.1253(b) (3)-- (a)(2)(i) Using calibration materials appropriate for the test system and, if possible, traceable to a reference method or reference material of known value; and (a) (2)(ii) Including the number, type, and concentration of calibration materials, as well as acceptable limits for and the frequency of calibration; and (a)(3) Whenever calibration verification fails to meet the laboratory's acceptable limits for calibration verification. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on a review of the Hematology calibration records and an interview with the Technical Consultant (TC), the Laboratory failed to perform calibration for the Sysmex XP-300 Hematology analyzer according to the manufacturer's specification. This was noted for one of the two possible calibrations in 2024. The findings include: 1. A review of the Hematology calibration records revealed the Sysmex XP-300 was calibrated on 02-20-2024 but no other calibration was performed and documented for 2024. The next calibration was performed with preventive maintenance on 01-23- 2025. 2. An interview with TC on 03-19-2026 at 1:05 PM revealed an email from BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING dated 12-05-2024 was sent to inform her that the Sysmex user manual procedure intervals did not include a 6- month or 12-month intervals. Surveyor also noted on the same email that effective 2025, a service vendor will be onsite at 12-month interval to address the necessary parts replacement of the Sysmex XP-300.
