Hi everyone! This might sounds like an odd questions, knowing that some of you have already upgraded to the electronic crossmatch, but our pathologist is very conservative and I am just starting a new BB supervisor in NY state. So we currently perform IgG gel crossmatch on all crossmatches, and NO immediate spin. I convinced the pathologist do perform IgG xm only on patients with current or previous history of antibody and to do IS on all crossmatches, but she wants them done in gel, but by reading the IFU, it doesn't seem to apply "This MTS™ Buffered Gel Card can be used in ABO Serum Grouping as well as direct agglutination i.e., cold and warm antibody detection." . I know it would be so much easier for the staff to do tube IS, but she wants to stay away from tube, ie reading interpretation errors. Anyone is currently using Ortho gel buffer cards for IS? Is the Vision do IS crossmatch? Thanks, Helen
