Ortho Fetalscreen recall

[Jane]

Would anyone like to share how they are handling the fetalscreen recall? We are going to send out Kleihauer-Betkes on any we have now but what to do about the patients that have been done on those other kits?

We are luck another hospital in our group is using Immucor-Gamma, so since we are larger we got their kit and are doing the testing for both hospitals. We repeated all sample we still have. So we ran I-G kit on all samples we had.

Those samples over 48 hours old we also ran K-B stain to verify that they are negative. K-B using Sure-teck the sample can be as old as 2 weeks.

For those other patients that we no longer have sample on. We are going to meet to discuse what we are going to tell the doctors, ect..
