    In Meditech a Reserved unit is at a status of ENT (entered) until a Retype is done. Once the Retype is done it becomes AVA (available) to be crossmatched for only that patient.

    I'm on Meditech C/S v5.54 right now, with a move to v5.57 planned for early next year.

    1. We antigen type red cells if commercial antisera is available. 2. Reference lab documents historical antigen typing and we confirm if we have the commercial antisera. 3. We send specimen or ask for antigen negative red cells and reference lab supplies confirmed antigen negative red cells. (documented on tags attached to units)

    We use an homemade wristband/card system similar to Typenex with barcodes. Only the date/time is written on the band. It is used in conjunction with hospital ID band. We do not have requisitions, Meditech labels are printed for collection.

    We use 2 mL per unit.

    We are gel users. For Anti-Kell we use 2 heterozygous cells or 1 homozygous cell.

    **NEW** 10/31/2006 **REVISED** 09/27/2007 TRM.30575 Phase I N/A YES NO Does the facility have a plan to implement a system to reduce the risk of mistransfusion for nonemergent red cell transfusions? Among options that might be considered are: (1) Documenting the ABO group of the intended recipient on a second sample collected at a separate phlebotomy (including documentation in the institution’s historical record); (2) Utilizing a mechanical barrier system or an electronic identification verification system that ensures that the patient from whom the pretransfusion specimen was collected is the same patient who is about to be transfused. The use of a second manual banding system, while currently acceptable, is probably not as effective as the above two options. The second manual banding system has worked for us for the 30 years I have been in Transfusion Medicine. When wireless is implemented, we will go that route.

    It sounds like CAP is moving away from offering options.

    Our facility does not have a second draw policy unfortunately. We do receive a copy of prenatal testing from Canadian Blood Services (our reference lab). If a mom presents for a C-section, that prenatal result is used as "a previous blood type on file" for her type & screen.

    I have a question from a colleague: According to CSTM standards: The neonate's plasma or serum shall be tested by antiglobulin test for the presence of passively acquired maternal anti-A or anti-B if the neonate is to receive non-group O red cells. If anti-A or anti-B is detected, red cells selected for transfusion shall lack the corresponding antigen. Do any of the other regions have a Meditech solution to making sure we meet this standard? We currently have a policy to just give O blood to babies but there is no rule in Meditech to stop the issue of group A, B, or AB. I also can't find an easy way to add an IDAT test to A and B cells on a baby's crossmatch. What are other people doing?

    Thank-you whbb, that's perfect with a little modification:D

    mrsbueno benefitted from this being public.

    I think these nasty little things have something to do with that: 01:30 PM Google Spider Viewing Archives

    Thanks Linda, Would you be able to explain the function of Z?0N and IF{L(Z,"Y")^J<L(Z) Z$J^Y? We have the same rule set for NBIL but I cannot understand the logic. David

    I am looking for an Order Rule that would prevent users from ordering an ABORH on a patient <4 months old and instead order an ABORHNB. Would anyone have this done?

    I have not tried this one out. 052520042259540182.doc

    Meditech c/s 5.54 has a history back-up that copies the entire BBK Hx to a templated file on a PC. It is set to run every hour on the hour.

    We report them as eligilbe for RHIG and leave it up to the physician.

    In C/S that would be the Client dictionary. See example. Client.txt
