  2. If you are accredited by AABB, you need a policy. 5.19.6 Massive Transfusion The BB/TS shall have a policy regarding compatibility testing when, within 24 hours, a patient has received an amount of blood approximating or greater than the total blood volume. I'm sure The Joint Commission has something too.
  3. I believe other manufacturers offer validation kits. Maybe see what Terumo offers?
  4. I'm surprised the vendor didn't offer support. Here is an ancient validation plan for a Sebra hand sealer; you can adapt it. Sebra Hand Held Tube Sealer valid plan.doc There is also the FDA guidance on the use of the device. And the decades-old, and since retracted, FDA Memo.

  7. Is it this one? https://packmaxq.com/product/maxplus-blood-coolers/ The handle looks rather specific and integrated. That might be hard to replace. Have you talked with your Biomed folks? Often, they can work miracles.

  9. That's odd. I was under the impression (possibly false) that PayPal was only required for me. Anyhow, I just added Stripe payment processing. When you get to the checkout, you can choose Stripe or PayPal. I appreciate your support!
  10. I think it's similar for many lab positions.
  11. We did pretty well yesterday, with 28 total posts.
  12. Welcome back @DOGLOVER.
  13. As for how many points to calibrate, my personal opinion is to do three points. The lowest should be below the lowest range you'll use, the highest above, and then a midpoint. This is not perfect, but it helps prove linearity. Many places only do one or two points, though. It also depends on the significance of what you're measuring. For instance, a 20-second AHG spin... does it really matter if it's 20.00001 sec or 20.00002? Of course not. That's what leads some people only to do one or two points. When you say they're using their phone, do you mean a timer inside the phone? I stick by my original statement above; it's irrelevant for what we do as med techs... but..., in this case, as your assessor / inspector / regulator, I will want to see that you are using a traceable device for these measurements.
