  1. We also see too many "weaker than expected" reactions with this reagent. We are switching back.
  2. Thank you adiecast. I have been looking for a recipe for making stroma.
  3. For our sterile docking device, we do a documented check of each weld and have annual maintenance done per the manufacture recommendations. _________________________ Kathleen Allen, MT(ASCP)SBB
  4. We accept non-group O directed donors, but we perform a full crossmatch. We actually require a full crossmatch on group O directed donors too because of any antibody to a low frequency antigen the Mother may have made to the newborns red cells (new Dads frequently want to donate for their newborns and would pose an increased risk). The problems of parent donations are listed in many places in the publication on Pediatric Transfusions by the AABB. Mothers donating for their kids (if enough time has elapsed since delivery) pose an increased TRALI risk. But we do allow it if the MD and parents insist.
  5. We no longer apply ABO/Rh type confirm stickers, and we no longer confirm antigen typings. I wish we no longer had to re-type supplied units for ABO / Rh.
