Province Advises of Testing Error

Released on April 21, 2015

The Ministry of Health has taken steps to correct a testing error that occurred at the Saskatchewan Disease Control Laboratory (SDCL).

On April 9, 32 samples that were undergoing toxicology testing were matched to the wrong patients, due to an error in how automated equipment was programmed.

"This is a serious situation, even though we do not believe patient care was compromised as a result," SDCL Executive Director Patrick O'Byrne said.  "We sincerely apologize to these patients for any concern or anxiety this may have caused them or their families."

The SDCL has followed up directly with the care providers for all of the patients affected, and provided contact information for those who have additional questions.  It has also taken steps to ensure the error does not happen again.
