    Are you doing the immediate spin for a crossmatch or antibody screen? Well, we use the prewarm method for Cold agglutinins. We enter the results to the prewarm technique which is Negative, so the computer doesn't have a cow. Then we write in the test comments that the prewarm technique was used due to cold agglutinin, or history of cold agglutinin.

    typos and grammar.

    If the screen was positive, what was the result for the Antibody ID?   What is the cause of the positive screen?  Was the blood given to the patient AHG-crossmatched? Usually, depending on the results to the antibody Identification, you would need to issue AHG-crossmatched blood to the patient.  And I think failing to issue patients with demonstrable antibody(ies) with AHG-crossmatched blood is a reportable FDA error.  I could be wrong, but I ran into a similar problem in the past.
