We use Blood Bank arm band and have no plans to discontinue. We also require ABO retype if our patient does not have historical blood type and is not type "O"

Do your RN's perform transfusion verifications and initial vitals or do you have LPN's perform/assist with these task?

That is awesome news and well deserved!!!!!

How long does it take for you to use up a bottle of diluent 2 or do you discard any unused after a certain time period -
Has anyone performed the recently released software update and are you having any issues since the update or when performing the update? Does anyone have a problem with mold growth in diluent 2 that you rotate on/off the analyzer? Do you rotate on and off every 24 hours or more frequently?

We were cited by CMS for not having negative control for Anti A, Anti B, Referencecells and Selectogens 1-3. We had just had our AABB/CAP inspection with no issues and felt we followed Immucor package insert. I would add negative QC because it is simple and I could not win the battle

We are currently having nursing staff come pick up blood products. They now want 1 nurse off the unit/floor picking up products on 2 differnent patients at the same time. What are thoughts on allowing this practice?
