Summary Statement of Deficiencies D2016 SUCCESSFUL PARTICIPATION CFR(s): 493.803(a)(b)(c) (a) Each laboratory performing nonwaived testing must successfully participate in a proficiency testing program approved by CMS, if applicable, as described in subpart I of this part for each specialty, subspecialty, and analyte or test in which the laboratory is certified under CLIA. (b) Except as specified in paragraph (c) of this section, if a laboratory fails to participate successfully in proficiency testing for a given specialty, subspecialty, analyte or test, as defined in this section, or fails to take remedial action when an individual fails gynecologic cytology, CMS imposes sanctions, as specified in subpart R of this part. (c) If a laboratory fails to perform successfully in a CMS- approved proficiency testing program, for the initial unsuccessful performance, CMS may direct the laboratory to undertake training of its personnel or to obtain technical assistance, or both, rather than imposing alternative or principle sanctions except when one or more of the following conditions exists: (1) There is immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety. (2) The laboratory fails to provide CMS or a CMS agent with satisfactory evidence that it has taken steps to correct the problem identified by the unsuccessful proficiency testing performance.

Summary:

Summary Statement of Deficiencies D3031 RETENTION REQUIREMENTS CFR(s): 493.1105(a)(3) Analytic systems records. Retain quality control and patient test records (including instrument printouts, if applicable) and records documenting all analytic systems activities specified in 493.1252 through 493.1289 for at least 2 years. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on surveyor's review of the laboratory's Horiba AbX Micros 60 hematology QC records, 2021 Micros 60 maintenance logs and an interview with the laboratory testing person, the laboratory failed to retain copies of the Micros 60 2019, 2020 instrument maintenance records and the laboratory refrigerator temperature logs. FINDINGS: 1. The laboratory testing person confirmed on May 12, 2021 at approximately 10:30 AM, the surveyors findings that the laboratory failed to retain copies of the Horiba ABX Micros 60 instrument maintenance records and the laboratory refrigerator temperature logs for the calendar years 2019 and 2020. 2. The testing person could not locate these logs when preparing for the inspection 3. Horiba AbX Micros 60 manufacturer requires the controls to be stored between 2-8C and/or 36-46F a. Due to the lack of records, the surveyor could not determine if the laboratory refrigerator temperature was in the acceptable range of 2-8C and/or 36-46F from 1/1/2019 through 1/31/2020. b. The surveyor's review of the QC records revealed the following Mintrol controls were stored during this time period: Lot# MX426 expiration 3-5-20; MX427 expiration 5-5-20; MX428 expiration 5-5-21 and current lot in use MX429 expiration 7-5-21 4. The surveyor could not verify if the required maintenance for the analyzer was performed, due to the lack of records.
