Welcome back @Brenda Hutson, haven't "seen" you in a while.

I used BBguy website. Watch all his videos and take all the quizzes available. Other than that I used my notes from SBB school and had a book with sample questions I went through. Good luck!

There are the PowerPoint lectures in the library section of this site, which are free (but some of the lectures I provided are a "bit long in the tooth" now. (Memo to self - I must send Cliff a few up-dates when I get the time).

We currently have 2 patients on this drug. One of them has only been transfused once in the past couple of months, and her screen was negative. The other has been transfused multiple times. She was negative for 3 rounds, then 1+ positive in GEL. Currently she is negative again.......

We enter the units we are testing in the computer and we can enter our results. QC for antigen typing is maintained on a paper log so other techs can see that controls have been done for the day on a particular type and lot number of antisera. We don't want to waste those precious drops by having to repeat it. I keep those logs for at least a full 10 years. On that log I have a column to indicate that the antisera was visually acceptable on the day of use and a column to write the panel lot # used for Ag controls and if the panel cells were visually acceptable. The column for panel lot # was my way of documenting that the panel performs as expected with the antisera used. This shows the panel is QC'd multiple times over the life of panel. (TRM.31234) Probably overkill but I have something documented if they ask if I QC my panel. If something didn't work right, I would hear about it!

Here is the AABB Standard about this: 6.2.1.2 Copies Before the destruction of the original records, the blood bank or transfusion service shall have a process to ensure that copies of records are : 1) Verified as containing the original content. 2) Legible, complete, and accessible. Hope this helps
