Main practical issue from a transfusion perspective is a positive IAT XM.
If RBC given via electronic issue you would be unlikely to ever know the unit was DAT positive.

I always figured that, if it was benign enough in the donor that they met donor requirements, it was likely to be relatively benign in the recipient. Not perfect, of course.

According to rgulations DAT+ Donors blood should not be used for patients and should be discarded or used for any other purpose 

not safe to use DAT+ RBCs
