How often do you run Hemocytometer QC, is there a CLSI standard for this? We currently run every 8 hours but I would like to do every 24 - should this have an IQCP -
No, I have someone on staff that was doing research on Cryopreserved platelets and I was wondering on the history of it.
-
Are any countries using refrigerated platelets, Does anyone know of current research?

As I am reading the AABB manual they speak about potassium release with units that are irradiated and stored for >1 day. Did you look at this concern?
-
For those that do not irradiate on site, do you keep an irradiated unit on hand or do you keep a regular cmv= fresh unit on hand? We get a new unit every 2 weeks and we rarely transfuse infants but we have a unit on hand just in case
-
What are your facilities doing with CCP that isn't labeled as High Titer? We have stocked CCP that isn't labeled as such
-

Which antibodies does your transfusion service typically give crossmatch compatible. Only when antisera isn't available? Those that aren't know to give hemolytic transfusion reactions?

-
When performing antigen typing on units for transfusion do you charge for all units tested or only those that are crossmatched to the patient?

Question: How do you report the Rh type on a cord blood with a positive DAT? If the Rh is negative with a positive DAT do you take it through DU and report the Rh type from there?
-
Does anyone know of a standard or requirement that states there has to be blood available in a free standing emergency dept.?
-
if you have a patient present at 15 week in the ED and perform the type and screen, administer rhogam. At 20 weeks they come in for an amnio - do you perform any testing? Or because you have the Type and screen previously you just administer the Rhogam?

What do you use to seal a crystal slide? We use clear nail polish? Has anyone from an accrediting agency said anything or recommend anything.
