[TANGO Issues and Flowcharts]

The new lot was released last week, to be recieved no later than Friday. Did you not start the new lot early? I understand Bio-Rad will provide additional screening cells If you choose to start this new lot early and run short before expiration.

[How do facilities handle missed antibodies on automated testing platforms? What do you require before returning to using your automated method?]

I realize that all automated systems will not catch all clinically significant antibodies as no automated system is perfect; however, when a clinically significant antibody is not detected on the antibody screen, I'm curious to know what actions facilities have taken before "trusting" the automated method again.  Of course, any other recommendations on how you might address this type of situation would be most helpful.
