I am needing some help setting up electronic crossmatch in Meditech. I have everything else in place but can not figure out how to prevent EXM in patients who have mixed field reactions. I am wanting to be able to perform the IS serologically as I understand this is needed per CAP and FDA regulations. Has anyone else experience this. We are currently on version 6.08. Thanks in advance!

Hey! Currently when entering a unit of Red cells into Meditech, a Blood bank unit typing is automatically ordered. Any ideas how we can make this specific, so that it only orders it on ONeg and OPos units (instead of every unit)?

Good Morning and Happy New Year to Everyone,
I am just inquiring to find out if anyone has any experience with the Meditech Ambulatory System? We are using it and would like to share ideas and experiences. I appreciate the help.
Thanks,

I know you are not supposed to antigen type anyone who had been transfused in the last three months, but what someone who is pregnant? Seems like those two go together a lot, but if it is a simple immediate spin or RT incubation, would it be accurate if she is showing a new antibody right before delivery? She already had an anti-E and today, for her C-section, and is showing an anti-c. I was going to antigen type her but couldn't find any info about whether it would be valid or not.
Thanks!

We recently had emergency release situations on two newborns, first one I can remember in my 7 years here. The day after the O neg PRBCs were issued, I was trying to figure out what testing was required and how to order it. We do NB types and DAT on all babies. My thought was to create a new order for PRBC. If I do that, it will order a type and screen. Since we have already done a type on the cord blood, we would TNP the results? We would still just give O units, Rh compatible. Or would you put in the results from the cord blood with the comment that it was performed on cord blood and TNP the back type and credit the type.
Then we perform the screen on the mom's blood, with an external comment, but the order is under the baby's account. If the mom has already had a TS right before delivery, would you put in the results from her screen there and credit that screen, so she isn't double charged?
I'm kind of thinking out loud, but I would appreciate any feedback.
