We just went live with doing weak D on the Vision with Ortho Sera. I also got the anti-K set up as well, but haven't rolled that out to everyone.
On the Provue we ran some antigen typing using the IS XM and IgG XM to cross the antisera to the unit cells. I have figured out how this can be done on the Vision as well. The question is, as long as I do a validation, can I proceed with using it? I would be using another company's antisera barcoded to run on the machine. Ortho has made a big deal about their new Ortho Sera being specifically for gel, but I know people have been using antisera in gel forever. I'm just wondering if there's any prohibition against this aside from Ortho preferring that you buy their stuff.
As for the meditech portion of this, those of you with interfaced analyzers know that at least in version 6 of meditech (and probably expanse) antigen typing doesn't interface and neither does crossmatching. Just thought it might be a good time of year to remind meditech that they need to add that functionality to the interface. Let's all spam them with it!
