bbanker2 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Has anyone noticed any significant differences between the CAP checklist and the AABB one. Or something in the AABB not in CAP, or vice versa.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estiner Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Check AABB for crosswalk between the two checklists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoertzen Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 One big difference in the latest (July 2011) CAP checklist is that they no longer require annual procedure review. They've gone to a 2 year review cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 On significant difference I found when I did our CAP self-audit was this:27th Edition AABB Std 5.7.5.20 and 5.7.5.21 require that 90% of the apheresis platelets tested have >/= 3.0 x 10<11> platelets at the end of allowable storage or at the time of issue.CAP Std TRM.44900 (Revised) requires at least 95%.

Bill Sinn Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 There are probably several differences.For instance; Issuing blood products.. CAP "the procedure for signing blood.. out.. provides adequate protection for the potential recipient." TRM.40900AABB "there shall be a check of..(lists several separate items)" 5.18.2limiting ABO incompatible plasma including platelets: CAP: for infants only TRM.40740AABB "shall have a policy concerning transfusion of components containing significant amounts of incompatible ABO antibodies." --implied for all patients.and so on...Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
