I have a different issue with the Echos and NEO. Since we went live with the Echos and NEO in April, we have had MANY pregnant Rh pos females that react (3+ to 4+) with ALL 3 screen cells, ALL ready ID panel cells, and ALL extend panel cells, DAT is neg.
When we perform the antibody screen by gel card, all cells are neg.
I asked Immucor Germany about these patients, and they stated that pregnant females will react like that after receiving Rhogam.
BUT these patients are Rh pos, and the Rh neg patients that have received Rhogam show only the anti-D reaction.
Does anybody else have this?
