Thanks for the input. I checked with Joint commission, and they do not accept the procedural control. I have been working on updating my policies etc. to comply.

Extending TS for surgery patients-please advise
slsmith replied to jason009's topic in Transfusion Services
Here the type and screen/xm is okay for 28 days but the patient has to go through "preadmissions" for their pre-surgical testing and asked questions about pregnancy, prior transfusion, known antibodies. The outdate is extended 3 days passed the surgical date no matter if blood is given or not. If an antibody is found the patient is not a candidate for preadmission and has to come in within 3 days prior to the surgery. -
We have had that issue and found when doing the centrifugation have the brake off the centrifuge and then we also do an extra spin in the buffering process
-
We work up a transfusion reaction for plasma or platelets just as we would a rbc
-
Pathologist makes all the calls we just give them the information; pre/post vitals, reason the rx is being called, clerical checks and pre/post ABORH and DAT
-
I recommend to all that you poke around on the NHSN site. I'm in Massachusetts, we are required to report all of our transfusion statistics, including adding each transfusion reaction separately. It's a fair amount of work, but required by our DPH. We use their descriptions for our transfusion reaction categories.

labeling units with historical antigen typing
Ensis01 replied to dothandar's topic in Immunohematology Reference Laboratories
Confirmed typings printed on the label. An attached tag lists the unlicensed reagents (if antigen not on list it is licensed). Historical is listed on a separate sheet and included with the order. If historical typings were attached to the bag it would need to be clearly labeled tie tag. I can not see how historical typings could be printed on the label. -
Thank you, ALL the responses were helpful to me!
