We do allow our physicians control over the transfusion reation, the nurse alerts the doctor and the doctor will decide wheather it is a transfusion reation or not, they know the patient better then we do and if it is from a medication they gave to them/anything else in that nature. Once the nurse has alerted the doctor and they decide to call it a transfusion reaction, they then call blood bank, give us all the information we write it down, they fill out a form, bring us all the blood products/bag/saline/lines that were being used. they draw a new sample and we perform our testing on the before and after sample, also doing a new type and screen on the newly drawn sample. once we our finished, we need a pathologist approval before we issue anymore products

Hello all, Just looking for some support on our Tango Optimo from biotest. I have found that it does not always catch antibodies. We have had it miss an E, and the screen cells have missed an Fya. Has anyone else run into problems like this? Ive been searching the internet for awhile and havent got far so I'm trying a lab forum now so hopefully i can get some answers! also any tricks you have learned with the tango, anything at all to make me more efficient at it? thanks!
