Need help from any Blood Bank that has gone live with HCLL. I need to build a Daily MTS Gel Reagent QC into our HCLL. Anybody entering their Daily MTS Gel Reagent QC in HCLL or still recording them manually. I will like to contact any HCLL live users on this topic or you can contact me by e-mail. Thanks.

Kindly share the policy at your facility if you have a Jewett refrigerator or frezer, whereby your circular chart recording malfunction but the digital reading and thermometer readings at the top and bottom shelves are acceptable. Does any hospital blood bank still record the temperature of that refrigerator or freezer every 4 hours until the circular chart is fixed? or you document the malfunction of the circular chart, stating that the other temperature recordings were accepatble until the circular is fixed. What is your policy? Is such a facility going to be cited by either AABB, CAP or STATE. Kindly share your views. Thanks Adenle Member

Thanks Donellda for your quick response. On the subject of Anti-Cw, is it possible to identify an Anti-E, Anti-Cw and Anti-c (little c) together with Anti-Bg? It doesn't look plausible to me but that is the results we got from a Reference Lab. Is it possible for an R1wR1 individual produce Anti-c(little c), Anti-Cw in combination with Anti-E and Anti-Bg. Kindly share your professional opinion. I will like to hear from anybody who has come across such results. Thanks. Adenle Member.

What policy do any Blood Bank have on antigen typing units for any patient with an antibody to low-frequency antigen. example: Anti-Jsa or Anti-Cw. Please share your views or policies at your Hospital Blood Bank. At my previous hospital, we were not required to antigen type units for Cw because compatible donor units for transfusion are easy to find. My current Hospital Blood Bank do ask for Cw negative units from a Reference Blood Center instead of cross-matching compatible units at the AHG phase for transfusion. Kindly share your views, thoughts and policy at your Hospital Blood Bank on low-incidence antigens. Adenle Member
