Laboratories Approved to Perform Blood Lead and/or Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin Determinations under The Clinical Laboratory Act

[47 Pa.B. 5892]
[Saturday, September 16, 2017]

 The following laboratories are licensed in accordance with The Clinical Laboratory Act (35 P.S. §§ 2151—2165) and are currently approved under 28 Pa. Code § 5.50 (relating to approval to provide special analytical services) to perform analyses of blood for lead or erythrocyte protoporphyrin content. This approval is based on demonstrated proficiency in periodic evaluations conducted by the Bureau of Laboratories of the Department of Health (Department).

 Lead poisoning is reportable. Approved laboratories that offer blood lead testing services are required to inform the Department of actual or possible incidents of this condition in accordance with 28 Pa. Code § 27.34 (relating to reporting cases of lead poisoning). These regulations specify the following requirements for reporting by clinical laboratories:

 (1) A clinical laboratory shall report all blood lead test results on both venous and capillary specimens for persons under 16 years of age to the Department's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, Division of Maternal and Child Health, Bureau of Family Health.

 (2) A clinical laboratory shall report an elevated blood lead level in a person 16 years of age or older to the Department's Division of Environmental Health Epidemiology, Bureau of Epidemiology or to other locations as designated by the Department. An elevated blood lead level is defined by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). As of January 26, 2002, NIOSH defines an elevated blood lead level as a venous blood lead level of 25 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL) or higher. The Department will publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin any NIOSH update of the definition within 30 days of NIOSH's notification to the Department.

 (3) A clinical laboratory which conducts blood lead tests of 100 or more specimens per month shall submit results electronically in a format specified by the Department.

 (4) A clinical laboratory which conducts blood lead tests of less than 100 blood lead specimens per month shall submit results either electronically or by hard copy in the format specified by the Department.

 (5) A laboratory which performs blood lead tests on blood specimens collected in this Commonwealth shall be licensed as a clinical laboratory and shall be specifically approved by the Department to conduct those tests.

 (6) Blood lead analyses requested for occupational health purposes on blood specimens collected in this Commonwealth shall be performed only by laboratories which are licensed and approved as specified in paragraph (5), and which are also approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor under 29 CFR 1910.1025(j)(2)(iii) (relating to lead).

 (7) A clinical laboratory shall complete a blood lead test within 5 work days of the receipt of the blood specimen and shall submit the case report to the Department by the close of business of the next work day after the day on which the test was performed. The clinical laboratory shall submit a report of lead poisoning using either the hard copy form or electronic transmission format specified by the Department.

 (8) When a clinical laboratory receives a blood specimen without all of the information required for reporting purposes, the clinical laboratory shall test the specimen and shall submit the incomplete report to the Department.

 Erythrocyte protoporphyrin determinations may be performed as an adjunct determination to substantiate blood lead levels of 25 µg/dL or higher. Since erythrocyte protoporphyrin concentrations may not increase as a result of low-level exposures to lead, direct blood lead analysis is the only reliable method for identifying individuals with blood lead concentrations below 25 µg/dL.

 Persons seeking blood lead or erythrocyte proto-porphyrin analyses should determine that the laboratory employs techniques and procedures acceptable for the purpose for which the analyses are sought.

 The list of approved laboratories will be revised approximately semiannually and published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 The name or location of a laboratory, as well as the personnel and testing procedures, can change. When changes of this type occur, the clinical laboratory permit number does not change. If questions arise about the identity of a laboratory due to a name or location change, the clinical laboratory permit number should be used as the primary identifier. To assist in identifying a laboratory that performed a test, the clinical laboratory permit number of the facility at the time the list was prepared is included in the list of approved laboratories before the name of the laboratory.

 The Department's blood lead proficiency testing program is approved by the United States Department of Health and Human Services in accordance with 42 CFR 493.901 and 493.937 (relating to approval of proficiency testing programs; and toxicology) which are administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Successful participation in the Department's proficiency testing program will satisfy the compliance requirements for both the Department and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

 The symbols L and P indicate the following:

L = approved for blood lead analyses
P = approved for erythrocyte protoporphyrin analyses
LP = approved for blood lead and erythrocyte proto-  porphyrin analyses
