gagpinks Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi everyone We recently had a UKAS inspection and they have raised NC on not performing measurements of uncertainty on Kleihauer test . Does anyone had any experience on performing MU. what data do we need to collect to perform MU ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galvania Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 there was an article on this in the last issue of the biomedical Scientist. When I read it, I have to confess, a - I didn't really understand the point and b - moved one step nearer to total despair about the useless requirements that might have sense in chemistry but in IH just get in the way of doing useful work I'm ranting again David Saikin, gagpinks, A little lab lost and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Saikin Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I wonder if the CV would provide the same information. I read the articles and the formulae are not conducive to blood bank operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagpinks Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Our klehuier test is screening test, if more than 2 ml fetal cells seen we send sample to reference lab for quantification. I think when there is screening test CV wouldn't not be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least as useful as a measure of uncertainty . . . for many the KB is not a screening test but provides the data for amount of RhIg to be administered. gagpinks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate murphy Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I agree with you all - many things we do for no other reason than to be compliant with some rule somewhere. My advice for KB - talk to your Heme dept and see what they do for diffs. Or Micro for what they do for gram stains. Just similar subjective tests. Do the least amount to be compliant and maintain your sanity. gagpinks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
