Is anyone using a download functionality to assay samples for the IH-1000 analyzer in Meditech ?

At my facility we perform a mini cold panel and if positive (1+) reaction at 4C it is sent to reference for an cold antibody titer. I do not have a test code built in the computer to capture this process. Can someone share a procedure how one enters their cold antibody workup and titers into the computer system? My reference lab at this time is no longer performing cold antibody titers. I have one physician who routinely orders cold antibody titers. IF I implement titers testing then we would have to PT on this assay.

I would like to know if KB test is performed in Blood Bank or Hematology? If using the Simmiler Test Kit do you count 1000 or 2000 adult cells. The test kit instructions sites an example and does not reference how many adult cells to count. Will the calculation change if you modified the total cells counted (i.e count 250 and x4 ) ?

If the transfuse order is <25ml for a neonate do you have to centrifuge the unit prior to making the aliquot. I am looking to update my neonate protocol .If anyone has a protocol to share. I have a Heittch refrigerator centrifuge.

Can blood bank technologist place orders for RHIG with a MD script for out patients? Our current policy requires physician to enter orders in the computer.

Do you manually enter the tested results into the inpatient order? Do you have a "copy" function that takes the outpatient results and copies it into the new inpatient.
