IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This workbook is a supplemental documentation and quality-management tool. It does not replace continuous monitoring systems, calibrated temperature-measuring devices, manufacturer instructions, approved laboratory procedures, or applicable regulatory requirements.

Temperature limits, monitoring frequency, excursion criteria, affected-material disposition, and corrective actions must be established by the laboratory according to applicable requirements.

An out-of-range reading does not automatically establish the duration or impact of an excursion. The laboratory must investigate and document its findings.

Use of this workbook does not guarantee CLIA, CMS, CAP, COLA, or state regulatory compliance or inspection outcomes.
