2017 Shipping Schedule For 2017, chemistry programs for non-CLIA regulated analytes have been divided into a new, separate shipment and will be sent
only twice per year. Each shipment will now contain 3 samples so the total number of samples will remain the same. Below is
a general shipping schedule. For a complete schedule, please refer to pages 30-33 or visit our website for a printable shipping
and reporting schedule. Shipping dates will also be printed on your customized order confirmation.

Blood Cell IdentificationFor laboratories that perform both Blood Cell Identification
and Automated Differentials:
CMS allows for the transmission of only one of these
scores each test event. Results for both tests are
graded and will appear on your evaluation, but only one
score can be sent to CMS. If you would like your score
for Blood Cell ID to be sent to CMS, enroll in Cat. #224. If
you would like your score for auto differential to be sent to
CMS, enroll in Cat. #225.
Blood Cell Identification
224 BCID - Scores sent to CMS225 BCID - Scores not sent to CMS Five graded and two educational photographs
for ID of peripheral blood cells; includes
online access to virtual slides.

259 Advanced Blood Cell ID (Virtual)A virtual image (online only) of a Wright’s
stained peripheral blood smear for blood
cell ID. One case study per Test Event will
include seven cells/objects chosen for ID and

Bacteriology ProgramsLaboratories performing bacteriology tests that are
regulated for proficiency testing must test five regulated
challenges per test event in the Bacteriology sub-specialty.
Programs listed that have fewer than five samples are
to be used as add-on options to other Bacteriology
programs. If one of your methods becomes waived or you
change to a waived method mid-year, you are responsible
for ensuring you maintain five samples per test event for
the remaining non-waived tests in that sub-specialty.
Susceptibility testing counts as one challenge regardless of
the number of drugs reported.
Urine colony count is not a regulated challenge and cannot
be included as one of the five challenges.
If you are using a waived method for a challenge (e.g.,
Rapid Group A Strep), this challenge cannot be included in
the five regulated challenges.

Verifi cation Programs for Secondary InstrumentsCLIA regulations state that if a laboratory uses multiple methods to test an analyte they must designate one instrument/
method as primary for the proficiency test event, and test the proficiency samples using that instrument/method. Laboratories
are not to test proficiency samples during the PT Event with more than one instrument unless that is how they test all patient
specimens.
CMS recently clarified to all PT providers that in addition to analytes regulated by CLIA (those listed in Subpart I of the CLIA
regulations), this restriction also applies to non-regulated analytes and to analytes categorized as waived under
CLIA.
With this clarification, CMS has indicated that laboratories may test proficiency samples with multiple instruments/methods
after the PT due date. API offers Verification programs for this purpose. These programs offer the convenience of using
proficiency samples to verify secondary instruments and methods, while remaining compliant with CLIA regulations.
Verification samples are shipped along with samples for proficiency testing. Laboratories are directed to test and submit
results for these samples online after the PT due date. Verification evaluations are available online, at the same time as the
evaluations for proficiency programs.
Verification programs have been expanded to include non-regulated analytes and tests performed by waived methods. Where
available, they are listed in the main body of the catalog along with regular PT programs. Scores from verification programs
will not be reported to regulatory agencies such as CMS, CAP, or The Joint Commission.

CE Credits, Automated Results, and Other Products
Free Continuing Education CreditsPhysicians, medical technologists, and technicians enrolled in the API proficiency testing program are eligible to earn
FREE continuing education credit through a self-assessment activity in conjunction with the American Society for Clinical
Pathology (ASCP).
To earn continuing education credit, participants must answer several study questions in the Continuing Education
section of the API website. Questions are taken from ASCP commentaries released with evaluation reports for most test events. The number of CME/CMLE credits that can be earned by each participant depends on the individual’s
participation.
For more information, go to our website at api-pt.com and select “Learn More” under the Continuing Education heading,
or call us at 800-333-0958 to speak with a Customer Service Representative.
API DataDirect™
Using their own laboratory information system (LIS) or middleware, laboratories may now transmit profi ciency testing results directly
to American Profi ciency Institute (API), a process that revolutionizes profi ciency testing for clinical laboratories. No more manual data
entry, no more clerical errors, no new technology systems to purchase, and no additional fees! DataDirect is easy to use and saves
time! Contact us at [email protected] or call us for a demonstration.
Remedial Proficiency Testing
Remedial proficiency testing is a service API offers to those who need to test specimens in addition to regular proficiency
testing. This is usually required when a laboratory has had poor performance on a particular analyte in two of three test events.
If your laboratory encounters a need for this service (which includes a written performance evaluation), call to speak with a
technical specialist for more details.
Troubleshooting Samples
Occasionally, laboratories wish to re-test a proficiency testing sample as part of a corrective action plan. Most API samples
are available for this purpose at a nominal charge. Our technical specialists can give you further information.
