Waived TestingPackagesWaived Testing—The Importance ofPerforming Proficiency Testing

Certificate of Waiver (CW) laboratories must only perform waived laboratory tests. When the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began random inspections of some CW laboratories in2002, many laboratories chose to participate in proficiency testing as a quality assurance check. MLEresponded by preparing special two-challenge proficiency modules, designed for the needs of thewaived testing laboratory. Our custom selection of costeffective waived modules appears below.

For use with 320 and 321. Reusable Class A volumetric pipette required for reconstitution of lyophilized proficiency testing specimens.

126 Pipette Pump ..............................................$45For use with product 121 above.

E-notification ServiceA value-added service to enhance the quality andsafety of patient care. The e-mail notification servicewill provide Class I and Class II recall information andfield corrections pertaining to waived test devices.

Class I recalls are those that have a “probablerisk of harm or death” to a patient if the itemsremain in use. Class II recalls have a “significantrisk of harm” to a patient if they remain in use.

In addition to the recall e-notification service, MLE provides:• Notification of changes or additions to the CMS list of waived laboratory tests.

• A wide array of cost-saving Waived Testing Modules for continued quality assurance at a lower cost.

• A reminder prompt for notifications involving Microbiology tests, to ensure regulatory compliancefor any remaining non-waived analytes.

To receive “E-Notify on Waived Tests” and the “Recallsand Field Corrections: Devices—Class I and Class II”report, send an e-mail to [email protected] andrequest to be added to the recipient list. In the e-mailrequest, be sure to include your MLE ID number.

Bi-weekly newsletter covering government policy for diagnostic testing and related medicalservices.

Off-ScheduleProficiency TestingStarts at ...............................................................$200Off-schedule proficiency testing (PT) provides laboratories with immediate, on-demand, customizedproficiency testing for reinstatement or remedial purposes; a complement to the regularly scheduledPT program.

Who Needs Off-Schedule Testing?• Laboratories with unsuccessful performance (scoreof less than 80%) for two out of three regular testingevents may be required to perform off-schedule PTto lift a “cease-testing” order from their regulatory oraccrediting agency. In these cases, two acceptableproficiency performances (score of 80% or better)may be required for the lab to resume testingpatients.

• Some laboratories use off-schedule PT to verify that corrective actions were effective. This service is available to every laboratory, regardless of MLE enrollment status.

For information on cost and availability, contact MLECustomer Service at 800-338-2746, option 5, or e-mail us at [email protected].
