I'm curious how people out there are labeling their reaction tubes.  What patient information and reagent information do you put on your tubes?

    If you are talking about tube tests, I label  A,B,D,Dct, a,b.  ABSC:  1, 2, 3.  With the pt initials underneath.

  • Patient first and last initials and reagent in the tube so for blood type it would be: JH-A, JH-B, JH-D, JH-DC for the front type and JH-AC, JH-BC for the reverse type.

Patient initial and full surname and hospital number, together with the reagent used (e.g. anti-C, anti-D, anti-Lan, etc).  The reagent lot number and expiry date would be recorded elsewhere.

In the facilities where I was the Transfusion Service or Blood Bank supervisor my tube labeling requirement for the staff was that anyone in the department could set down an take over the testing and know who and what was in each tube.
