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.

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.

Couple questions: How do you manage outpatient and inpatient test orders? If you have an indated TS a new accession number is generated with a new visit account. Meditech generates a new accession number with each visit. Can you move the TS from the outpatient account to patient account to avoid a new TS sample. Moving account numbers in Meditech moves all tests associated with the accession number that creates more problems.
