We will be setting up electronic crossmatch within the year. I thought that to qualify for electronic crossmatch that the patient cannot have antibodies. So how can we use it to confirm ABO when using a gel IgG crossmatch?
-
I got the same notice and we are also starting the IS crossmatch.
-
That is my understanding as well. Please help us if there is something we are missing.
-
I did not ask either but I appreciate it!

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Do you happen to have Soft Bank? I think I can do something similar but now someone brought up the issue of clinically insiginificant cold antibodies and now I suppose rouleaux that will give a positive IS. I knew this was not going to be easy. Right now I have a paper log since we could have AABB/CAP as soon as 1/4.
-
I would be afraid that someone would do the IS and print a compatibatible label and then "forget" to do the IgG gel and then an incompatible unit can be issued. Until I figure something out I have a paper log of IS crossmatches when an IgG gel crossmatch is done. We only have a couple a day but need to get rid of the logs. We have AABB/CAP any day so I hope this gets us by.

But....it is all over the AABB that Gel was sent to the FDA for approval using an IS crossmatch
-
Thanks, I do not know what took me so long to find this. Loving it already.
-
Now there is the new problem. If I order an IS crossmatch in our BBIS (Soft) it will print a compatible label. How do you get around that?
-
I am ready to change our policy to do an immediate spin crossmatch along with each Gel IgG crossmatch so satisify "to detect ABO incompatibality". Although we have not been doing it for about 10 years, now I see no alternative. Any suggestions?

I just found this site and glad for all of the information
