Interfacing instrument crossmatches with LIF


Recommended Posts

  • 12 years later...

This is a very old question, but at this point if the interface can be set up it comes down to whether the lab is comfortable with those results crossing and being reviewed or whether they are more comfortable with crossmatch results being printed and manually entered.  There are pros and cons to each, the more common concern being manual entry error vs. accepting an incompatible result when the tech isn't paying close attention because the results crossed.

There is also the question of whether the LIS used can provide robust enough hard stops to ensure that results are reviewed and documented properly, and that all regulatory requirements can be met. 

That being noted, only one lab I've worked in has allowed crossmatch results to be interfaced to the LIS: they used an Ortho Vision and Softbank.
