Hello,



We just got CLIA inspected and had no deficiencies. The inspector did say he wants to see us write down on any reagent containers when it was opened, and write down the new expiration date.



The containers have the expiration date on them from the manufacturer, but the inspector said when the container is opened, the expiration will change and we need to write the date on the container under the opened date.



I've never heard of this requirement and I would like to ask if you have.
He said if the vendor does not give us any written documentation of when a reagent would expire after it's opened, then we should seek an alternate vendor who can.



Any comments, etc. are greatly appreciated.
