Platelets acceptable return temperature
pinktoptube replied to jalomahe's topic in Transfusion Services
We take the temp and only will return to inventory if between 20-24C. We do not take the temp when they are received from the blood supplier since they validate their boxes for transport. -
I would say that depends on your manufacturer's instructions for QC.

I'm at a 220 bed hospital, we have dedicated Transfusion Medicine technologists on all shifts. We have hired new grads, they are able to work successfully alone with proper training and the willingness to learn on their part.

We have always kept the packing slip for 10 years as part of the traceability of unit, granted the information is entered in our LIS.

Thank you
-
which alarm are you using for the tissue? does it store/log alarms?
-
I have the same struggle. We are actually required to keep one in stock at all times. Due to the one time we didn't have two for a heart case, one surgeon now always orders two. We discard about 10 -15 a month even with transferring the ones we can out.

Patient's sample drawn at one site and transfused at another
pinktoptube replied to TMGal's topic in Transfusion Services
Is one hospital performing the T&S and crossmatching, then sending the blood to the transfusing hospital? Or is the sample collected at one hospital and sent to transfusing hospital for testing? -
Attached is what I use. Our tissue team leader actually goes to the manufacturing sites and writes a summary on acceptability. TTS-PPM-FORM-035-B Supplier Review Form.doc

Mixed field observation is it for us.

Validation of Other Manufacturer's Reagent Red Cells for Use in Manual Grifols Gel
pinktoptube replied to Quality_Lady's topic in Transfusion Services
Would these need an IQCP since you are not using them according to the manufacturer's specifications? -

I believe it would need to be reported. The unit was issued with an error. It also doesn't hurt to just submit it since the FDA will let you know if it didn't need to be reported.

Stop transfusion if crossmatch expires after issue but before whole unit in?

pinktoptube replied to Mabel Adams's topic in Transfusion Services
As long as the unit is being transfused I don't see why you would stop the transfusion. The crossmatch at the time of dispense was still valid. I've never been questioned on this, maybe others have. -
Autocontrols run with Ab Screens of Patients with Clinically Significant Ab
pinktoptube replied to katiesbb's topic in Transfusion Services
We don't. We only run an autocontrol if there is new reactivity. -
