Do you require a second specimen from a different draw when you have no history for a pre-transfusion candidate?

We also require a second specimen on all patient's with no history (with or without units ordered). I am looking at this now to see if it needs updating (along with the rest of the manual).. We send a little "kit" to the floor with a purple bullet and the stuff to do a finger stip for just a couple drops of blood.
