800-323-4040 Option 1 # for Customer Contact Center Calibration Verification/Linearity Surveys advantages: Receive liquid specimens that cover broad analyte ranges to challenge assays from near zero to the top of the analytical measurement range for most analytes and methods Access a comprehensive selection of analytes and programs to encompass a broad testing menu Satisfy the requirements for scheduled verification of the analytical measurement range of the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program and the CLIA calibration verification under 42 CFR493.1255(b)(3) for most analytes Use a consistent analytical approach for the assessment of the method linearity and calibration agreement with your peer group Get custom reports with an Executive Summary for a quick overview of the performance, a Comprehensive Evaluation Report with specific analyte information, and Linearity & Calibration/Verification graphs Note: The College of American Pathologists Laboratory Accreditation Program requires an additional calibration verification process for methods calibrated less frequently than once every six months. Please review the inspection checklist for information about suitable verification material for any method that is calibrated less often than at six-month intervals. The Calibration Verification/Linearity Surveys are designed to assess agreement of a laboratory with the method manufacturer s calibration settings, but do not validate accuracy traceable to reference methods. Please see the CAP Standards and Instrumentation Resource Committee Web site at www.cap.org or contact a CAP Customer Contact Center Representative at 800-323-4040 option 1 # for additional information and a listing of the specific analyte ranges targeted in these Surveys. Improve the reliability of your patient results with CAP Survey Validated Materials Use the same material that is sent in the Surveys Program to: Identify and troubleshoot instrument/method problems Correlate results with other laboratories or instruments Document correction of problems identified in Surveys Utilize as an alternative external quality control material with confirmed results Results are readily available in the Survey Participant Summary that is included with each Survey Evaluation Report. 78 Calibration Verification/Linearity and Instrumentation College of American Pathologists

Laboratories will be required to submit 20 results for each analyte, validated from normal/healthy individuals. Exclusionary criteria will be provided to facilitate identification of appropriate donors. In addition, the participating laboratory will submit testing methods and instruments as well as gender, age, and race of each donor, using classifications from the United States Office of Management and Budget, Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (Federal Register Notice, October 30, 1997). Laboratories participating in the RRS and RRS2 will receive a summary report including the reference interval for each analyte for which data is submitted. The reference intervals will be provided by platform. In February 2007 participants will be requested to provide their instruments/reagents/methods to ensure that the minimum number of data sets are available per platform for analysis. In addition, laboratories will be provided with exclusionary criteria for potential donors. All donor results should be returned to the CAP for analysis, including those that may be outside of your laboratory s established reference interval. Note: The College had determined that Institutional Review Board (IRB) review is not routinely required to participate in this reference interval service. However, if the laboratory is in an instituion that requires IRB review to conduct reference interval studies, be advised that the deadline to return donor results to the CAP will be May.
