[![](https://blog.cmecorp.com/hubfs/From%20sneeze%20to%20respiratory%20testing.png)](https://blog.cmecorp.com/is-your-clinical-lab-ready-for-respiratory-testing-season) By [CME Corp Staff](https://blog.cmecorp.com/author/cme-corp-staff) | November 10, 2026 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Respiratory testing season can put your clinical lab’s equipment readiness to the test. Before demand for influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19 testing increases, it is worth confirming that your analyzers, specimen preparation equipment, and cold storage can reliably handle a busier workload. Equipment that meets your needs during quieter months may have limited capacity for the busiest testing periods. In addition to confirming equipment is working today, consider the answers to these questions: - Can your equipment keep pace when specimens arrive in greater numbers? - Are recurring instrument problems still unresolved? - Could testing continue if your primary platform became unavailable? A focused equipment review can help answer those questions before your team is managing a flu season. Start with the respiratory tests your lab performs, then evaluate the equipment each method depends on. The following five checks can help identify where maintenance, additional capacity, or replacement equipment deserves attention. ## 1. Can Your Testing Platforms Handle Peak Respiratory Testing Volume? Begin with your laboratory’s respiratory testing workload. **Review last season’s busiest periods**, including specimen arrival patterns and the number of tests performed on each platform. **Account for changes in the facilities your lab serves,** operating hours, and the respiratory assays you expect to run this season. Look beyond the daily total. A platform may accommodate a day’s volume yet leave specimens waiting when several departments or collection sites send work at the same time. **Review peak-hour demand alongside the time available for testing.** **Next, compare that demand with usable instrument capacity.** Include time reserved for maintenance, required quality checks, repeat testing, and other assays running on the same equipment**. Confirm that the instrument availability and testing mix used in your estimate match what your laboratory can actually process.** A useful capacity review should answer: - How much instrument time is available for respiratory testing during the busiest hours? - Do respiratory assays compete with other testing for the same modules or testing positions? - Did specimens wait for instrument access last season? - Is there room to absorb additional testing if part of the system is unavailable? **Persistent queues, heavily occupied modules, and little remaining capacity during busy periods warrant closer review.** Determine whether the constraint is the analyzer itself or an earlier preparation step before considering another instrument. If analytical capacity is the issue, discuss available configurations and expansion options with the manufacturer. **Base a decision to add equipment on the specific limitation you need to resolve rather than the appeal of a higher published throughput number.** ## 2. Is Your Equipment Ready for Heavier Use? Adequate capacity is only useful when the equipment remains available. Once you understand the expected workload, **review the condition and service history of the instruments assigned to respiratory testing.** Start by confirming that preventive maintenance has been performed as scheduled. Review outstanding service recommendations and recent repair records. Pay particular attention to repeat alarms, intermittent module failures, and errors that staff have learned to work around. A familiar problem still belongs on the readiness list. Review patterns in invalid runs or repeat testing with the laboratory’s quality team. These events may have several causes, so avoid assuming the instrument is responsible. **The purpose is to identify unresolved trends that require investigation before volume increases**. Within Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) requirements for nonwaived testing, laboratories using unmodified equipment must perform and document maintenance and function checks at least as frequently as the manufacturer specifies. Required function checks must meet the manufacturer’s established limits before patient testing. A seasonal review complements these ongoing requirements. [LII / Legal Information Institute](https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/42/493.1254?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **Schedule needed work while alternate testing capacity is available**. Confirm parts availability, the expected service window, and the activities required before returning equipment to use. Also ask whether maintenance will become due during the anticipated busy period. Discuss scheduling options with the service organization while preserving required intervals. An instrument should not be considered ready simply because its service appointment is complete. **Laboratory leadership should confirm that applicable post-service checks, calibration activities, and quality control requirements have been addressed.** The goal is a clear status for each platform: ready for use, awaiting a defined corrective action, or unavailable until an issue is resolved. ## 3. Can Specimen Preparation Equipment Keep Pace? A respiratory testing platform may have available capacity while specimens wait to reach it. That makes **preparation equipment the next part of the readiness review.** Evaluate the devices used by your actual respiratory testing methods. An integrated cartridge system may have different preparation needs from a workflow that uses separate extraction and amplification equipment. Avoid adding equipment to the checklist simply because another laboratory uses it. Depending on your preparation methods, the review may include: - Extraction instruments and liquid handling equipment. - Pipettes and the accessories used with them. - Vortex mixers and centrifuges where required by the procedure. - Specimen racks, timers, and preparation workstations. - Biological safety cabinets where required by the laboratory’s risk assessment and procedures. Check applicable maintenance and calibration records, equipment condition, and the availability of compatible accessories. **Confirm that instruments designated for respiratory testing are available during the hours they will be needed.** Shared equipment deserves particular attention. A device can be functioning properly and still create a bottleneck if several testing areas depend on it simultaneously. **Compare access during busy respiratory testing periods with the demands of other laboratory work.** Walk through specimen preparation with the staff who perform it. Identify: - where specimens wait for equipment, - where accessories are in short supply, and - where repeated movement between work areas slows preparation. If delays occur before analysis consider: - whether servicing an unreliable device, - adding a frequently shared piece of equipment, or - adjusting equipment placement would address the problem. Review any proposed changes to containment equipment or specimen handling arrangements with the laboratory’s biosafety lead. ## 4. Is Cold Storage Ready for Seasonal Inventory? Respiratory testing readiness also depends on where the laboratory stores its testing materials. **Review whether existing refrigerators and freezers can accommodate the planned quantities of reagents, controls, and specimens under their applicable storage requirements.** Begin with a realistic inventory estimate. Consider order quantities, delivery frequency, materials already stored for other testing, and the space needed to organize stock for use before expiration. A unit that looks adequate during a light inventory week may be difficult to manage after a larger delivery. Then inspect the equipment. Review temperature records, unresolved excursions, alarm history, door seals, and outstanding service needs. **Check usable capacity against the manufacturer’s loading and airflow instructions rather than treating every open space as available storage.** Use the applicable testing instructions and laboratory procedures to determine storage conditions and holding times. CLIA’s nonwaived testing requirements call for laboratories to define, monitor, and document essential storage and operating conditions consistent with manufacturer instructions when supplied. [LII / Legal Information Institute](https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/42/493.1252?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **Temperature monitoring deserves a practical check as well.** Confirm that monitoring devices are maintained according to laboratory procedures and that alarm notifications reach the assigned staff. Verify the response process during evenings and weekends. Finally, **identify an alternate storage location**. Confirm that it has suitable conditions and enough available space for the materials you may need to relocate. Repeated temperature concerns, damaged components, or insufficient usable capacity should lead to a defined action. Depending on the findings, that may involve service, revised inventory arrangements, or additional laboratory cold storage. ## 5. Can Respiratory Testing Continue if an Instrument Goes Down? **The final readiness check is whether your backup equipment can perform the work assigned to it**. An instrument listed in a contingency plan may still need maintenance, required performance checks, or assay-specific preparation before it is usable. Confirm which respiratory tests each backup platform can run under your laboratory’s approved procedures. Review its operating condition, service status, compatible materials, and availability during the shifts when testing occurs. **Do not assume the backup has the same capacity as the primary system**. Compare the work it could realistically accept with peak respiratory testing demand. If it also performs other testing, include those commitments in the calculation. Your equipment contingency review should establish: - Which platform will receive work when the primary instrument is unavailable. - How much testing it can accommodate within the laboratory’s operating schedule. - Whether required reagents, controls, and accessories are available. - Whether trained staff can operate it during the affected shift. - When testing would need to be referred to another laboratory. Review equipment-specific recovery arrangements with the manufacturer or equipment distributor. Confirm current contact information, coverage hours, and the escalation process. Check whether service arrangements differ between primary and backup instruments. If another site’s equipment is part of the plan, verify that the arrangement remains practical during simultaneous demand. Capacity that is available in a quiet week may already be committed during respiratory testing season. Any unresolved gap should have an owner and a completion date before the backup equipment is counted as ready. ## Turn the Review Into a Clear Readiness Decision Bring the findings together in one equipment list. Identify: - what is ready, - what requires corrective action, and - what has insufficient capacity for the expected respiratory workload. Prioritize problems that could interrupt testing or leave the laboratory without a workable alternative. Separate service needs from capacity needs so the response matches the issue. Repairing an unreliable instrument and adding testing capacity solve different problems. If replacement or additional equipment is necessary, include installation and applicable laboratory acceptance activities in the schedule. Confirm when the equipment can enter use, rather than relying on its delivery date. The title question should now have a concrete answer: your lab is ready, or do specific equipment gaps remain to be resolved. ## Partnering with CME for Laboratory Equipment An equipment readiness review may uncover a refrigerator nearing replacement, preparation equipment that is difficult to share, or a need for additional capacity.
