  1. You are required to perform all CLIA required 6 elements for each platform of testing in your lab, assuming you are in the US. I would imagine competency assessment plans will be highly specific. We have a lot of them, they are focused on our exact workflows and would not translate well to another facility.

    Quotient BB reagents

    We have used their C3 coated cells for quite a while with no problems at all.

    Quotient BB reagents

    We use 3 cell screen, 4 cell screen, IgG check cells and A1 and B cells for tube tests, plus a few of the monoclonal antisera. Only negative comment I have received from staff is that the IgG check cells tend to be weaker than Immucor, more like 2-3+ rather than 3-4+. Saved a lot of money making this switch, and we are looking at changing a few more reagents in 2019.

  4. Just out of curiosity, does anyone remember why it was included in the first place? At one time, long ago, the weak D test was thought to be useful in detecting fetal maternal bleeds but that is long past.

  5. This was actually studied. Schmidt, A.E., Kirkley, S., Patel, N., Masel, D., Bowen, R., Blumberg, N., & Refaai, M.A. (2015). An alternative method to dithiothreitol treatment for antibody screening in patients receiving daratumumab. Transfusion, 55(9), 2292-3. doi: 10.1111/trf.13174

  6. I kept track of the number of units of a particular type and the ability of my blood supplier to accommodate the order. Say I was ordering O Negs. I wanted 4, they said they could only give me 2. When I said ok they changed my request to 2u instead of the 4 I wanted. Needless to say they were surprised when they rec'd my QA of their ability to meet my needs over the course of a year.
