So, the easy questions first eh Mari?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I think the IT guy gave you a poisoned chalice. The reason I say this is because we can all list antibodies that are not generally considered to be clinically significant, and then, all of a sudden, one comes along amongst these specificities that has not read the appropriate text books and goes ahead and causes a clinically significant reaction. Then what happens is that the person who said "anti-X" is not clinically significant, and this single example of anti-X turns out to be clinically significant, and you have to defend this in court.
The real problem these days is that the technologies available to us are now much more sensitive than when I started (when cross-matches were recorded on a stone slab with a hammer and chisel) and many antibodies that were not clinically significant (because we just didn't detect them with the technologies available at the time) are now readily detectable - BUT, they are not necessarily detectable at strictly 37oC, as , for example, many examples of anti-M are now detected by "IAT", even though they do not really react (in real terms) at 37oC. The real problem comes when, for example, an anti-M genuinely DOES react at 37oC, and it is treated as clinically insignificant, electronic issue is used, and one or more of the units is M+ and the patient has a severe reaction - who answers in court?
The worrying thing is that there have been papers published over the last few years quoting an anti-Leb as causing a transfusion reaction, and an anti-P1 causing a transfusion reaction (a certain Garratty G being a co-author on this one).
I would say, therefore, that the best thing to do is to read through the relevant parts of The Blood Group Antigen FactsBook, Human Blood Groups and Mollison's Blood Transfusion in Clinical Medicine (latest editions in each case), and use their experience, rather than your own (no insult intended) as the courts would probably take the authors as "experts" should you come across any of these clinically significant "outliers".
I wish you the very best of luck!
