PA Bulletin, Doc. No. 18-794>
[48 Pa.B. 3021]
The following laboratories are licensed by the Department of Health (Department) under The Clinical Laboratory Act (35 P.S. §§ 2151—2165) and are currently approved by the Department under 28 Pa. Code §§ 5.50 and 5.103 (relating to approval to provide special analytical services; and blood tests for blood alcohol content) to perform alcohol analyses of blood, serum or plasma. This approval is based on demonstrated proficiency in periodic tests conducted by the Department's Bureau of Laboratories. These laboratories are also approved and designated under the provisions of the Vehicle Code, 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 1547 and 3755 (relating to chemical testing to determine amount of alcohol or controlled substance; and reports by emergency room personnel), the Fish and Boat Code, 30 Pa.C.S. § 5125 (relating to chemical testing to determine amount of alcohol or controlled substance) and the Game and Wildlife Code, 34 Pa.C.S. § 2501 (relating to hunting or furtaking prohibited while under influence of alcohol or controlled substance) as qualified to perform the types of specialized services which will reflect the presence of alcohol in blood, serum or plasma.
The Vehicle Code at 75 Pa.C.S. § 1547(c)(3)(ii) also permits test results on blood or urine for alcohol or controlled substances to be introduced into evidence in certain legal proceedings in this Commonwealth if the laboratory is located in another state and is not licensed and approved by the Department to provide forensic blood, serum or plasma analysis services. This section states that the test results will be admissible into evidence at summary or criminal proceedings in which the defendant is charged with a violation of 75 Pa.C.S. § 3802 (relating to driving under influence of alcohol or controlled substance) or any other violation of the Vehicle Code arising out of the same action if the laboratory that performed the test is licensed to conduct the test by the state in which the facility is located and licensed under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (Pub.L. No. 100-578). A similar provision appears in the Fish and Boat Code at 30 Pa.C.S. § 5125(c)(3)(ii).
Since procedures for determining the alcohol content of serum and plasma are identical and results obtained from serum or plasma derived from a blood sample are the same, laboratories that demonstrate reliability in the determination of alcohol in serum are approved to analyze both serum and plasma for alcohol content.
Persons seeking forensic blood, serum or plasma analysis services from the following designated laboratories should determine that the laboratory employs techniques and procedures acceptable for forensic purposes and that the director of the facility is agreeable to performing determinations for this purpose.
The Department's blood alcohol and serum and plasma alcohol proficiency testing programs are approved by the United States Department of Health and Human Services in accordance with the requirements in section 353 of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (42 U.S.C.A. § 263a), and implementing regulations at 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 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The list of approved laboratories will be revised approximately semiannually and published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Questions regarding this list should be directed to Jennifer Okraska, Director, Division of Chemistry and Toxicology, Department of Health, Bureau of Laboratories, P.O. Box 500, Exton, PA 19341-0500, (610) 280-3464.
Persons with a disability who require an alternative format of this notice (for example, large print, audiotape, Braille) should contact Jennifer Okraska at the previously referenced address or phone number. Persons who are speech or hearing-impaired may call the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).
