I think this question is suited more for sysmex IT tech support. I don't know about these days with modern day techs, but in my experience, it's the techs that perform the cell counts using a miller disc for the KB method. If your facility uses 300 uL dose RhIg, you can use this simple equation: (%fetal cells x 50) / 30 = number of vials of RhIg required. Remember to use the "fudge factor". Example: 1.3% fetal cells calculated on Kleihauer Betke stain 1.3 X 50 = 65 ml of fetal blood 65 ml/30 = 2.2 vials of RhIG required When the number to the right of the decimal point is less than 5, round down and add one dose. Example: If the calculation comes to 2.2, give 3 vials. When the number to the right of the decimal point is greater than 5, round up and add one dose. Example: If the calculation gives 2.8, give 4 vials. source: https://hsc.ghs.org/obgyn-clinical-practice-guidelines/inpatient-obstetrics/kleihauer-betke-assay-interpretation/
