Pick Up Slips to request blood from Transfusion Services
Kelly Guenthner replied to RKB1988's topic in Transfusion Services
We do the same. Ours is setup to print the transfuse order both to the blood bank and to the nursing printers. -
Anyone here has any experience with saline IgG?
Kelly Guenthner replied to diplomatic_scarf's topic in Transfusion Services
If you're up for a little more discussion (and a little entertainment ) may I suggest this thread, from 2012? Saline incubation...why is this SOP still allowed? -
Same policy, here.
-
Yep, same CLIA number.

Fetal Screen in Blood Bank, KB in hematology, RhIg dispensed by BB. We share the CAP proficiency kit; BB takes ownership of monitoring/submitting (because we're bossy like that )

Emergency Release Procedures
Kelly Guenthner replied to RuralBloodBank's topic in Transfusion Services
Once upon a time, our facility served 2 different CLIA numbers (clinic vs hospital, it was weird and complicated). To satisfy "the rules" any policies or testing procedures that applied to both CLIA numbers had 2 different review/approval cover sheets; one for the hospital pathologist to sign off, one for the clinic medical director to sign off. -
Nope. Positive is positive.

Same! We would only use our un-titered supply after consulting with Pathologist and ordering Provider (we're recommending that the provider obtain an additional consent for transfusion of CCP for "investigational use only".)

Staff Communications/Review of Revised Policies by Staff
Kelly Guenthner replied to saralm88's topic in Transfusion Services
CAP standard COM.10300 "Knowledge of Policies and Procedures" simply states: The laboratory has a defined process and records indicating that all personnel are knowledgeable about the contents of the policies and procedures (including changes) relevant to the scope of their testing activities. Our "defined process" indicates that we save those records for 2 years.
