7. The reference materials are mixed with other reagents and there is a risk of cross contamination.

8. There is no intermediate verification record for reference materials, and the standard quality is not controlled, which has an impact on the test results.

9. There is no legal certificate for the reference materials, and the quality of the standards is not guaranteed. There is a risk of distortion of the results.

10. The storage of reference materials in volumetric flasks is at risk of decreasing the accuracy of measurement.

Problems and risks of chemicals and consumables

1. There is no list of qualified suppliers, and the quality of consumables is not guaranteed.

2. The highly toxic drugs have not achieved the system of double locking for two people and tracking and monitoring the use, so there is a risk of leakage of highly toxic drugs.

3. The precursor drugs have not been locked by two people, so there is a risk that the precursor drugs will leak out.

4. There is no record of receiving and landing reagents and drugs, and the management of reagents and drugs is not in place.

5. Reagent storage and operation room are in the same room, which is harmful to the health of inspectors.

6. The reagent bottle identification information is insufficient, and the expired reagent is out of control.

7. The standard reagent was not prepared under the condition of constant temperature and humidity, the measuring tool expanded with heat and contracted with cold, and the standard solution could not be registered.

8. If the reagents purchased in batches or used in large quantities are not re inspected and verified, unqualified reagents will cause huge losses.

9. There is no risk analysis and assessment on the quality of consumables. Unqualified consumables will cause huge losses.

10. Reagents are not stored by category and there is a risk of cross contamination; There is no forced discharge facility in the reagent room or reagent cabinet, which is harmful to the health of operators.

Problems and risks of sample management

1. The sample number is confused and there is no uniform and unique number, which is easy to be confused.

2. There is no description and risk assessment of incoming sample status when receiving the sample, and the abnormal results cannot be traced.

3. There is no circulation card for the sample, and the responsibility for the sample is not clear.

4. There is no identification for the status of samples to be inspected, under inspection, inspected and reserved, and there is a possibility of missing inspection and re inspection.

5. The samples and reserved samples are not classified for storage and monitoring, and there are risks of cross contamination and mildew.

6. The recovery and disposal of the inspected samples are not standardized, and the technical director is not responsible.

7. The sample room is mixed with the office, which has security risks.

8. The sample processing room is mixed with the testing room, which has the risk of cross contamination.

9. There is no environmental monitoring record for sample storage, and there is a risk of sample damage.
