Changezi reacted to Malcolm Needs in Deciding on Platelet ABO/RH
I would give the group A, D Positive platelets. The amount of anti-B in the plasma will not affect the patient, and platelets do not express the D antigen. However, the danger with this is that there may be a few group A, D Positive red cells in the plasma and, as the patient has already been sensitised to the D and the E antigen, these may boost the antibodies (as a secondary response can be stimulated with very few red cells). It is a slight danger, unless the platelets "look red".
If the patient can wait for the group O, D Negative platelets, then this "danger" would disappear completely, and any danger from the anti-A, anti-B and anti-A,B in the plasma in which the platelets are suspended would be minimal.

Changezi reacted to Cliff in Vitros 350 (ortho clinical diagnostic)
Have you considered asking the vendor? Many of them have terrific validation plans that they provide in Word documents that you can customize for your environment.

Changezi reacted to Auntie-D in AB- with weak anti-A
An update - the reference centre said that it didn't fit with any described A-subgroup and we are to treat as group B until they have investigated further
