  1. Does anyone have experience with a ProVue and Psyche interface?
  2. Here is another questionable scenario: Suppose an incorrect blood type was reported on a patient. The order was for a type and screen only and no rbc's were transfused - The error was caught and corrected before any product was issued. Would this error be reportable and if so, would FDA form-3486 (Biological Product Deviation Report) be the correct on to use?
  3. Thanks for the info David - I actually didn't know this. Would you happen to know where in the CFR this is mentioned? Jason Hunn, MT(ASCP)SBB
  4. Standards 5.1.8.2.1 says that portable coolers must be validated. Our hospital has policies and procedures that define what constitutes storage and what constitutes transport. My question is this: How often should these portable coolers be validated? Is this something that our institution can define as well?
  5. Hello Everyone, Should quality control be done for crossmatching on the ProVUE?
  6. In our institution we issue blood using an electronic form which is also used by nursing to enter vital signs, volume infused, and beside signatures of of the nurses involved in the administraion of the product. Our policy - which indirectly follows 5.27.1 of Standards - require us to review the forms for completeness. But to answer your question, no it is not required as far as I know. Standards only indicates that the patient's medical record contain this information. It could be located on five different sets of paperwork in the patient's chart, but the requirement would still be satisfied. This is why, personally, I like all of this information being in one place - i.e. an electronic form or returned tag. The difference between the two of us is that I only have to review about 200 forms a month, not 1800. Big difference. Hope this helps.
  7. Nope. She tolerated it well.
  8. Hello Everyone, I've recently had a puzzling experience with a Crossmatch. We've had a patient who has had a history of an anti-E. She was given 3 units of Crossmatch compatible blood, emergency release red cells, in the ER. She presented with a hemoglobin of 4 and the ER physician did not want to wait until we determined whether or not she had developed an additional alloantibody. To make a long story short, one of the units she received was E positive. However, that particular unit was compatible at IS and AHG in gel (LISS) as well as in tube (albumin). Does anyone have an explanation as to why this unit would be compatible if she clearly still demonstrates the antibody, and the unit was antigen positive?
