Our reference lab recommends washing the segment cells.

Candy, This is the quote I got from CAP. If you want a copy of the email I received from CAP, send me you fax number. "Item TRM.31241 requires that all new lots of reagents and critical materials be inspected and tested, as applicable. This item would apply to antibody panels. The laboratory must have a process for evaluating the new reagent panel lots before they are put into use for patient testing. The process used is left up to the discretion of the transfusion medical director, but at minimum, must follow the manufacturers instructions." Dawn

CAP does require panels to be QC'd. Selected expired cells are qc'd again if we have to use them. If anyone would like CAP's response to my email about QC on panels I can send them a copy. Dawn

Its a manual form that happens to be bright orange. If the two witnesses are not filled out the specimen is rejected. We have been using this system for over 5 years and it works great. Dawn

We document the two identifiers by using a sheet in our blood bank kit. It stays with the order for blood products and has areas for the patient ID label, date and time drawn, transfusion history, pregnancy history, etc. There is an area for the two identifiers that verifies the patients identity. This system works well for us as well as CAP. Dawn Arnett, BB Section Supervisor, KDHHS
