| D2127 | HEMATOLOGY CFR(s): 493.851(d) Failure to return proficiency testing results to the proficiency testing program within the time frame specified by the program is unsatisfactory performance and results in a score of 0 for the testing event. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on the review of the API (American Proficiency Institute) Proficiency Testing (PT) records and an interview with the General Supervisor, the surveyor determined the laboratory failed to submit proficiency testing results by the submission deadlines for Hematology/Coagulation testing for Event #1 2020. The laboratory scored zero percent (0%) for this event, due to the failure to timely submit the results. The findings include: 1. A review of the PT records revealed the due date to submit API proficiency testing results for the 1st Event 2020 was 03/27/2020. The label printed by the lab was dated 03/26/2020 on the package, but the package was post marked 03/29/2020 by the Post Office. 2. During an interview on 07/27/2021 at 1:30 PM, the General Supervisor stated the package was dropped off in a drop box on 03/26/2020 and later learned that items dropped in the drop box are not stamped by the Post Office. They go to the main office in Birmingham and would sit for several days due to COVID, resulting in this event being post marked on 03/29/2020. |
