This would be highly dangerous.  In my opinion, an anti-D that detects Partial DVI should never be allowed anywhere near a laboratory that is dealing with patient blood (and that includes cord bloods).  If you actually dig down into the literature, the is very little hard evidence that Partial DVI foetal blood causes sensitisation in the maternal circulation, except in a very few well-documented cases.; sadly, these cases always seem to be quoted in text books, but are really outliers.  Even in the Reference Laboratory I used to manage, any such anti-D was kept well away from the routine reagents.

Very simply - NO, NO and NO.  It is not for nothing that it is called  ....'for donors'.

However, just so something else is well understood.  Using a card that is 'negative for DVI' does not mean it will be negative for any other Partial D.
