  2. We require a Blood type from the current admission
  3. We have gone back and forth on this. We stopped using the scope for a long time then we got a new supervisor and resumed scoping. Now we recently went to Ortho gel and will only be doing C3 in tube. I don’t know the requirements

  6. Since I personally retyped a unit that was labeled wrong I would be very uncomfortable with not retyping.

    Hope you enjoy every minute of your retirement
  11. Patty how do you take the temp on your units when they come back to the Blood Bank
  12. We have 2 half time people who work Blood Bank only. The rest of the staff is all cross trained
  13. We keep ours a year. Do you use Bloid Hub? If so all that info could be retrieved from there. 10 years seems way to long. We never kept them that long even when we weren’t computerized

  15. No. All manual entry at our hospital is reviewed by a second tech for typos
  16. I believe the manufacture (Kedreon) says 10 hours. That’s what we use
  17. Thanks Scott. That is my thought also but fighting the lack of common sense is an up hill battle sometimes
  18. For several years now our Blood Bank has decided that any plasma that has been issued for more than 2 hours needs to be destroyed if it is returned to the Blood Bank. This was changed by a technical specialist who has been gone from the job for 5 years but this strange rule still stands. My problem with this is if it is sent out in a cooler that has been validated for 24 hours why destroy the plasma? I would like to get this changed but need some good info for our current lead so she can make the change. Looking for help please. To me this is a no brainer but I seem unable to convince those in charge.
  19. We do it providing the sample was drawn by a facility associated with our hospital, they use our Blood Bank patient banding system and we do the testing. All products are associated with that alpha numeric number and before products are issued we verify that number patient name and birthdate
  20. We do a saline control for the negative and would never check cell it
  21. We use the rule of 3. Three homozygous to rule out and 3 positive cells to rule in. IF PISSIBLE
