we had this sample that was tested for hiv ag-ab. the sample was slightly hemolyzed the result was reactive using the EIA the result was referred to our supervisor and told us to extract new sample from the donor. we collected and retested the new sample using the same test principle EIA and the result was non-reactive. by the way the 1st sample was refrigerated before it was tested. what could have affected the result? hemolysis or refrigeration? if testing will be delayed...how long should a sample be kept? i'll be glad to hear from your side...

Transporting products in bags or containers
redstaff2003 replied to mwlister's topic in Transfusion Services
mwl, i find it weird to transport blood or its component in a biohazard bag...it may give wrong impression to relatives or folks of the patient when they find blood in a biohazard bag. in our situation we label blood "handle with care" which is very common. we usually issue blood or components in a clear plastic plastic bag seperately, -
psanai, for how long the process will complete? is it really for 2 hours?... since the cs3000 donation time is about an hour since its two arms donation process.

hi, our blood center is using the sc3000 from baxter and thats true the company is starting to retire the equipment and the plan of our center is to acquire HAEMONETICS equipment. i have already seen the equipment few months ago and its much compact compare with sc3000 i mean is smaller than the sc3000. i find the old machine complicated when operating it manual priming vs automatic priming.tonz

john, in our situation we differ donors who work with shipping companies (seamen) outside our country for 1 year after they return from country. they are only allowed to donate after a year. -
this would probably help you try to check with the who.org and search for blood cold chain.
-
david, for how long did the ref went out of range?...a retraining in blood cold chain would help your staff in this matter. probably you have considered the condition of the stored blood units before disposing like checking for hemolysis. what do you think? in our center if we suspect that a hemolysis had occured in the blood unit we consider in disposing the unit. actually the manual of the WHO doesnt state that if the process blood went beyond 6c consider disposing.

heather, our blood center is using SAGM and CPDA1 for all of our blood donation activities before we were using the cpd and acd but due to its shorter expiration we opted in using the CPDA1 which is common to all of our blood centers. seldom ive heard blood collecting facilities using the cpd or acd (for your info) you my also browse this site www.iccbba.org you'll find list of additives product coding bounded list and definitions. -
