CAP checklist question

I'd like to ask those clinical cytometrists subject to CAP surveillance
(specifically those performing platelet-associated Ig testing, if possible)
about an item in the Lab General checklist. My apologies to those who have no
interest in this subject.

Checklist 1996.0
Question 01.1050 (paraphrase)
...is there a system in place to determine the accuracy and reliability of
analytic results on patient samples for which no external proficiency testing
program is offered?

1) *Is* there any external testing program available?
2) How are you dealing with this issue?
3) Have you ever been "called" on this during an inspection?

TIA
