Mr Wayne Govender got a reaction from Malcolm Needs in Nurse access to emergency units in blood bank fridge
It would be helpful if you could to briefly explain what the issues/problems you're experiencing, it would be helpful to look into the Forum finding or suggesting solutions or current practice/procedures we have in place.

Mr Wayne Govender got a reaction from AuntiS in Ortho Vision, Grifols Erytra or Biorad IH-1000
BioRad service engineers do not wear running shoes either...they stay as long as needs be to ensure that the machine is running smoothly without glitches. Can't say that for others who seem to have boarded the first flight on holiday before a batch of samples have completed the running.

Having had the opportunity to have worked with all 3 of the aforementioned machines, I'd say beyond any doubt that Biorad is light years ahead of Ortho. You get definitive results with Biorad, not the untold and innumerable false positives using Ortho reagents and products. I don't remember having any major downtime issues with Biorad apart from the expected wear and tear of a robust machine running 24/7 - 365.
The turnaround time using Biorad was much better.
Maintenance schedule is a breeze.

Mr Wayne Govender reacted to Malcolm Needs in Gold Medal.
I am enormously honoured to announce that I am going to be awarded the Gold Medal of the British Blood Transfusion Society at their Annual Scientific Meeting in Brighton this year. It is awarded to an individual for their exceptional and long standing services to the Society and to the practice of blood transfusion in the UK. Sorry if this sounds egocentric, but I am very excited.
