Do you need materials still? Are you studying for the ASCP SBB?

Our blood bank do not do titers. We send those out to a reference lab. We only do screens and AB ID's. Usually, we use our Anti-sera for training, for screens and ID's. We also have a few patients with very interesting samples(multiple Allos, Weak D, DARA, Anti-Ku, etc...), we save those and use them for training too.

Wow. Nice. I think if Ortho required people to have one of those, it would have been supplied with the workstation, instead of people just rigging something up.

We stopped using a crit reader. We now have a hemoglobin reader. It's electronic. Ours is the Hemocue 201 model.

We do the same as Ren_Hh , we put a check mark on the daily temperature log. The tech support people assured us that the green light means the system is within acceptable temperature(approx. 36 to 38 C) range. Besides, good luck trying to find a thermometer small enough to fit into those heating blocks/wells with the cover closed too.

I think the EMTs for our helicopter service does transfusions. We just switch out their LTWB O Positive units every 30 days or so. The units hardly ever get used. I will try to find out more information if I can.

5.14.4 A new sample shall be obtained from the patient within 3 days prior to transfusion in the following situations: If the patient has been transfused in the preceding 3 months with blood or a blood component containing allogeneic red cells. If the patient has been pregnant within the preceding 3 months. If the history is uncertain or unavailable. Day 0 is the day of draw. 5.14.5 In patients with a history of previously identified antibodies, testing shall be capable of detecting and identifying the presence of newly formed clinically significant antibodies. Standard 5.14.3.1 applies. 5.14.3.1 When antibodies are detected, additional testing shall be performed to identify antibodies of clinical significance.

Thank you Cliff! Sorry, I didn't see this reply sooner. Thanks again

We use the same stain we use for hematology slides, wright-geimsa. If we see WBCs, the result is a qualitative "present" or "none seen". Usually, if there is an infection, it will be mostly neutrophils.

Yeah, we use this too. But we don't have any point of care instruments for PTT. I only know of PT POC instruments. I'm sorry. Good luck.

To whom this may concern, Last year, Paypal canceled my account for some reason. I called them but they gave me a vague explanation. So my premium membership wasn't renewed. Is there another form of payment we can use? Like a credit card or something. Thank you.

Are you talking about this old workstation?

In my opinion, this one was hard. I had to do research
