I'm looking at the All Common CAP checklist for Serology (Transfusion Medicine). Anyone have a good plan for COM.40700?

    I would mark it NA as I don't feel BB performs any "analytical" type of testing.  That question is more in line w Chemistry or Hematology which generate numbers, not interpretive data.

  • I marked it down as N/A since it has to do with AMR's and such. At least that is my thinking. During our CAP inspection in September, my inspector didn't give it a second thought.

That was my first thought. I dislike what they've done with the Transfusion Medicine checklist. The All Common items that used to be 'customized' for Blood Bank were in the Blood Bank checklist where they belong. Now it's a guessing game from an All Common list that is really focused on Chemistry - does this apply to BB? how does it apply to BB? what is this even aiming to achieve??? What used to be covered in one is now spread into 3 or 4 places. Thanks CAP!

I don't think BB testing is analytical so I also mark this as NA. When it comes to BB testing, the patient is either positive or negative.
