Sofia Strep testing

Hello, I'm trying to interpret the following statement from the package insert:
The Sofia Strep contains two built in procedural control featurs. The manufacturer's recommendation for daily QC is to document these built in procedural controls for the first sample tested each day.
How do you document this?
thank you
Nancy

We have our providers enter the results in epic as an enter/edit feature. There is an option to document this. If you are just using paper documentation, it can just be a checkbox. It may be easier to document for each test. I'm not currently using this strep test but this is from my past experience. 

edit: Andries is correct. You should not report it out to the patients. It's important that you do capture it just in case the inspectors asks. 

Add two non-reportable results to all patient testing to enter the QC. That way, you never miss out on any testing date.

We had the same issue with the Abaxis Piccolo xpress internal QC (iQC) where CLIA, etc. require that information to be captured/evaluated for the first patient testing event of the day. By capturing them all, we never miss the capture.
