I was wondering how long to keep all my QC log sheets...so CAP is 2 years? Does anyone know about CLIA's rules?

CAP requires QC records to be kept for 2 years. Your state or individual institution may have longer retention times. "Quality control records, including instrument printouts: at least 2 years."
