we have SafeTrace Tx. I built modifications for Pgd tested plts that changes the product code and expiration dates of the tested plts. -

I might add that the patient was Filipino.

We had a patient with anti-Jk3. We were able to find units for him once the blood supplier started looking at Polynesians and Pacific Islanders.

It does occur, but what we see more often is a negative screen and about a quarter to a third of the units incompatable by Coombs crossmatch. These patients get transfused about once a month, so we still do AHG crossmatches on them.

This is a long shot, but if your patient is black and transfused often, it could be ant-Jsa or anti-V/VS. We see that not infrequently with our sickle cell patients who are on a chronic transfusion protocol.

We stick with O until we get a second type.

I think ICCBBA may release some information on 1 April. They are, of course, operating under the same sort of constraints as the rest of us.

I asked the blood bank manager and director if I need to put these codes in our computer system; I have not heard back from them.

Our system does not allow us to pool across product types, so we treat a reconstituted whole blood unit as two units (RBC and plasma) in one bag. We label with both product codes and both DINs.

We haven't had any significant shortages recently. I am in the southeast.
