Here's my question on ISBT and split units. Are split units designated in the product code, unit number, or both?

My primary worry with the electronic crossmatch aspect is that the mother, obviously an antibody builder, is forming another antibody that is not readily detectable in her serum, because it has virtually all attached to the fetal cells. I would do an eluate, just to be sure there's no antibodies other than the Anit-A and Anti-Fya attached to the baby cells.

As I review ISBT ABO/Rh, I see there are 8 codes for each ABO/Rh, auto only, directed crossover etc. So, since you can only relable the ABO/Rh of your own facility, does this mean that directed and auto units collected at another facility can not be crossed over?
