This is not a BOS issue ...
Subject: This is not a BOS issue ...
... where there are mistakes, but an English grammar issue. Since most companies use the BOS as a guide, though, if QA says to do it with "was" unless you want to get points off, use "was."
In English, if you have a plural (5 mL) expressing measurement, quantity, etc., that plural subject is considered a single unit, not 5 separate mL.
The grammar link you provided was a different thing entirely. It was talking about "each" I believe. I really didn't get how that applied, but maybe I missed something.
Just trying to help out.
It's a "preference" issue (sm)

In Dorland's, "venostasis" gives you "venous stasis" as a definition. It refers you to another term, rather than just giving you the definition right there, which is an indication that Dorland's finds venous stasis preferable to venostasis, although it allows that they mean the same thing.
Stedman's entry for venostasis simply gives you a synonym, which is "phlebostasis." Upon looking that up, you find two definitions. First, slow motion of blood in veins, as you were using it. Second, treatment of CHF by compressing proximal veins of the extremities with tourniquets. And, it says that venostasis is a synonym for phlebostasis.
Checking phlebostasis in Dorland's, we find those same two definitions, but no mention of venostasis as a synonym.
What does this mean? You and your QA person are both correct, but probably, she just thinks venostasis looks odd, because it kind of does look odd. Usually, you see it written as venous stasis and most people say it as venous stasis.
Venostasis isn't wrong, by far, but the fact that Dorland's tells you it's venous stasis communicates that venous stasis is the more expected form.
If you show her the dictionary entries, she'll kind of have to accept that you're correct, but that still won't make "venostasis" look any better. My concern would be that clients will think it is incorrect, causing them to focus on it unnecessarily. It's often best to go with a neutral choice that won't cause excitement.
My preference would be to use venous stasis for the abnormally slow movement of blood in veins.

crashing. On the other hand, BOS says non is a word that in most cases does not need a hypen, so it does vary in many instances. Non can be combined with the word being used. Noncommental is an example, but there is no hyphenated statement following it.
