What F503 requires
F503 corresponds to the federal standard: Ensure laboratory services, blood blanks and transfusion services provided on site meet requirements for certified laboratories; or have an agreement to obtain services from an offsite laboratory, that meets the same requirements.. When a surveyor finds that a facility is not meeting this standard, they cite the tag and assign a scope/severity letter (A–L) describing how widespread the issue is and how much harm it caused.
Severity distribution
- Level 2 — No actual harm, potential for more than minimal 1
