The original sample has only ONE ABO & RH performed, subsequent samples are crossckecked by the computer history for a match. We perform an immediate spin crossmatch on antibody negative samples for our "secondary" check before issue. -
We just "guesstamate" the volume of RBC's, which is printed out on the compatibility slip. On CPD "short draws" there is a specific volume written on the bag and that is entered in to the computer. For neonates and ped's, we weigh the RBC's and give a more specific volume

Does anyone have any experience or professional views, concerning PROvue versus Galileo? I will be purchasing one of the instruments this summer and would like some input to help me make the correct decision.
