We do the same. We have a few docs who still think we need to crossmatch units ahead, but we educate them at the time of order. We keep it mostly for those times when a patient with special needs is scheduled for a procedure.

I attended a webinar presentation on this and the presenter stated specifically that NOTHING has been grandfathered. There are some items that the FDA has said it would still use enforcement discretion, but was very much above my understanding.

We do the same. In the past I tried to doctor samples for ABIDs, and they were either non-reactive or 4+ at immediate spin.

Same here.

I have a Job Aids "manual"

What PPID system do you use? Is it not apparent on the specimen whether it was collected with that system? We use Mobilab and the labels are very different from the others we use so there is no doubt.

We use MediaLab also and scan the package inserts in a job aids. You can revise them the same as you can your policies.

This is what we have from CAP for proficiency:

We have had HFAP until they were purchased by ACHC, and both of those have cited me for the lack of correlations: one for not performing them at all, although I pointed out that we do that on every specimen without previous records, and just last year because I didn't include crossmatch tests with my Type and Screen correlations. I contested the citation again, stating that it was the exact same methodology as the antibody screen, but was unsuccessful as their standards say "the same test using different methodologies ". I gave up and added XM as well. No concept of what we do and no common sense!

We print ours on a 4x4 adhesive label and place the label on the back of the unit at issue.

We do the same as Jayinsat.
