Do you run Reflex pediatric in your Echo?. 

 

Do you export your results to your laboratory computer?

 

What safety feature do you use so as not to verify the Weak D POS  without DAT result?

 

 

Thanks.

We do not use the Pediatric reflex nor do we reflex weak D testing.  We have disabled all Reflex testing at our facility.  We do not perform weak D testing at our facility at all (with rare occasion to confirm a blood type on a unit from our supplier labeled rh Pos when we get rh negative initially).

 

We are a 175 bed, predominately geriatric hospital that has absolutely no pediatric or maternal patients. 

 

We do export our results to MEDITECH 5.6.6.  The ABORH exports but not the SCREEN since the reactions must be entered in a secondary result screen.

We don't reflex tests off the echo. The only patients we routinely do Weak D testing on are our neonates born to Rh Neg moms. We do not run neonate samples on the Echo. We do export both our Type and Screen results (we use Meditech 5.65)

Similarly to marvy1, we do not do reflex testing on the Echo and we do not run neonate samples on the Echo, so we do not routinely do Weak D testing on the Echo.

Unfortunately, our Echo is not interfaced with our LIS.
