    If the patient is not pregnant and has not been transfused in the past 90 days, we extend the expiration of the pretransfuion sample to 21 days.

    The transfusing location disposes of the empty bags. The bloos bank keeps 2 segments when the unit is issued and retained for 7 days post transfusuion. The units arrive at the blood bank pre-segmented

    We jumped from 2004.03 to 2007.08. Good luck with the upgrade.

    We are on 2007.08 and we built the ISBT products after the upgrade, we have no problems with scanning. What kind of scanning problems do you have?

    I agree with John. You have to be very close to the armband in order to read the information. Sometimes you need a magnifying glass to read those armbands....

    Our samples are collected in Pink tubes. We do not separate the cells from the plasma.

    Our transportes bring a pick up slip with all th epatient's information stamped on it. We use at least 2 identifiers to issue the unit out of the blood bank.

    Our computer system is tested and validated for computer (electronic) crossmatch. However, we are still waiting for the final decision from the Medical Director to implement the computer crossmatch process.

    We do not collect Directed donors at our facility but we refer them to the American Red Cross. If a patient requests directed donors, we ABO/Rh type the potential donors and perform an ABO/Rh and Antibody screen on the recipient. If donors and recipient are ABO/Rh comaptible we then have the comaptible donors go to the ARC for donation.

    I was training few nurses on the use of a computer application, I said now right click the mouse when one of them said: I am left handed, how can I right click?..... I started teaching them the basics of using a mouse instead of what they were there to learn
