swede got a reaction from Dr. Pepper in CAP checklist TRM.31250 Reagent Expiration Dates
Yikes! In past years antigen typing sera could be used beyond expiration as long as there was a policy for QC. We consider them to be "rare" partially as an expense. Yes they are available from the manufacturer, but they are very expensive. Private Lear Jets are also readily available from a manufacturer, but they are rare because few people can afford them!
We will be eating some expense to get our rack in-date within the next few weeks. Our CAP window will be opening soon.
We also use expired panel cells for rule-outs.....in fact a recent CAP Survey we had to use expired panel cells to identify an anti-U....nothing in-date was helpful.
Sounds like another case of a non-technical person making rules they don't understand.
