PAWHITTECAR Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 First-take a deep breath.. Were the same lot numbers in use throughout the entire time period? If so you can document that the "last" QC before the lost pages worked as expected and the "first" QC after the lost pages worked. Was this a recent month? Do you have any ot the specimens to retest? If so I would spot check a few (pos and neg) specimens that were tested during that time frame to prove that the reactions remained the same.I have found many things missing here (I just took over in September) and have documented them in this manner. hopefully when CAP arrives - sometime in the next 18 days - they will think that will work. I know when I worked in biochemical genetics we did this and CAP was fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Saikin Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If you cannot find or recover your QC documentation you may have to file a Biologic Product Deviation for any/all transfusions given when "there was no documented QC performed". (just to add to your angst - sorry!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
