Very good idea, Cliff. Lets go for it. I am in. Liz

I agree that although there are no universal regulations there are the hospitals. Foer safety you must not be distracted. So if it suits everyone then go ahead, if you or someone else is bothered then put it off. You can speak to the manager if necessary. But better to keep it convivial and inform nicely.

yes, hooked is the word!!!

Welcome Jen. Here you will very possibly find the answer to most if not all your questions. If we don't know it (I doubt) we can tell you where to find it. Keep up the interest, curiosity and perseverence, never get discouraged.

That is great news Mabel. This year we must all meet up. I am not good at organising where (booth) and when (which lunch break), but if you and Kate tell us we will all hopefully be there.

To be able to provide during your emergency needs CAP requires this knowledge for the supplier. TRM.30850 Adequate Blood/Tissue Supply Phase II There is an agreement or understanding between the transfusion service and its blood/tissuesupplier(s) to ensure an adequate and safe blood/tissue supply. NOTE: This agreement should include the means for maintaining inventory, requirements fornotification when a donor or components are found to be seropositive, and redistribution ofcomponents for disaster or emergency need, which could include obtaining needed componentsby drawing donors or by agreement with another facility. For services provided by an outside blood center (e.g. provision of blood and blood products, referral laboratory support, donor testing), a hospital must have an agreement approved by the transfusion service medical director and hospital administration. Information regarding means of immediate communication to the blood supplier (e.g. phone numbers) must be readily available to laboratory staff. Evidence of Compliance: ✓ Copy of approved agreement (e.g. contract) with blood/tissue supplier(s) REFERENCES 1) Sazama K. The changing relationships in transfusion medicine.

We are nine until now! Yay!

..hmm lunch hour is not so good as I shall be attending sessions with Lunch on Sunday and Monday. And probably you too. Maybe a coffee break or Tuesday at the Denver lunch at the exhibit. Any suggestions?

Great Melanie! Mabel are you going?? Kate please do orgainise where and when we should meet (exibit at a lunch hour and in front of a certain booth as was done last year). Thanks, this will be interesting.

Liz Terri Colleen Julie Jeanne Aakupaku Kate (organising place, date and time) More...?

EDTA do not separate.

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary!!

What was the status of the biologic father's cellano (k)? Was this naturally occuring anti D, or an over dose of RhIg?

I cannot believe I found the thread. Thank you Mabel! Ok who is going to Boston this year? 1. Me (Liz) 2. ...

thank you Peter.

Indeed, this is a disappointment. the meeting and the emails... Maybe the rest of the group can revive the AABB meeting thread, I cannot find it. Thanks

Where is Cliff? I am over 1,000 posts, maybe my aura should be upgraded to something.. - - - Updated - - - oh Malcolm I cannot find the AABB post, are you going??

I shall refrain from commenting... I miss your jokes!!!??!! Why are you doing this to me?? is your home pc email still down?

Hey Malcolm you are near 4,000 posts!!!

Just to say thank you for your input and to let you know: We ordered the GelStation, finally. But I must say the Neo was very tempting. My main concern was downtime. With the Gelstation I can use the gel manually. With the Neo they were giving me an Echo, so first I was very happy then I read on this forum many reports that it does not have a detector if the sample is not drawn for the Ab Sc.. that was a big scare.

Peter: No problem, I hope the end of this day to have more info. Hello Peter, did you get the results? and if so, I would love to know what they are. Thank you Liz
