Gel card with 1+ reactions showing negative after spinning a second time
JPSCANNELL f. CROKE replied to dwalters's topic in Immunohematology Reference Laboratories
No, because, unlike tube testing, you cannot spin a gel test twice. Part of the calibration of the gel test, aside from the pipetting 'exact' amounts, is 'this is how far the cells migrate through the gel beads at this speed for this period of time', i.e. second spins cannot 'count' because to do so, you have violated the requirements of the test. -

Gel card with 1+ reactions showing negative after spinning a second time
slsmith replied to dwalters's topic in Immunohematology Reference Laboratories
We don't re-spin the card , we re-spin the sample. If this doesn't work here is our process >Perform a full gel panel with auto control >If not pattern, no antibody identified(some cells pos/some negative) >not all clinically significant antibodies r/o consult tech specialist or technical lead >all csa ruled out report as an "no significant antibody" and use gel xm -

labeling units with historical antigen typing
slsmith replied to dothandar's topic in Immunohematology Reference Laboratories
The Blood Center we used does not label with historic antigen types, only confirmed. They do however put them in a spread sheet which gets sent to us. If we need a particular antigen we scan the spread sheet, find the unit/s we need and antigen type them ourselves -

Mable, if you can figure out a way to convince your providers to skip the O Pos moms, let me know! Our OB/Gyn practice is OK with not doing the O Pos moms (and they delivery 90+% of the babies here), the pediatricians are Ok with it. Our problem is one family practice provider and he's not budging. We offered to make it an optional order - he wants it, he can order it, but that didn't work either.

If the plasma has Infectious disease state documents then HB may be interested in purchasing plasmas as we currently buy from commercial sources.

Sample Age for 28 week antenatal RHIG injection
NicolePCanada replied to NicolePCanada's topic in Transfusion Services
No Ensis, I'm only asking if there is a specific time between the drawing of the sample and the date of injection mentioned in any standards anywhere. Historically, we have always said it had to be 14 days between sample draw and injection. I'm just wondering if there was a reason. Thanks for your response.
