Bb_in_the_rain 106 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I am just wondering if anybody (any Blood Centers) has been labeling units with historical antigen typings since 2017 FDA guidance came out. For those who are doing these, I am also curious to see what kind of processes you have in place and which antigens you are labeling using historical antigen typing. *FDA guidance document attached* UCM534978.pdf Edited November 30, 2018 by dothandar Gnapplec 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gnapplec 15 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hear anymore on this subject ? I too am curious. To my knowledge our blood center labels rRBCs as antigen negative confirmed only based on current results. If an historic antigen is called out on the tag it will say “historically types” Cw- for example Link to post Share on other sites
slsmith 55 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The Blood Center we used does not label with historic antigen types, only confirmed. They do however put them in a spread sheet which gets sent to us. If we need a particular antigen we scan the spread sheet, find the unit/s we need and antigen type them ourselves Bb_in_the_rain 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ensis01 120 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Confirmed typings printed on the label. An attached tag lists the unlicensed reagents (if antigen not on list it is licensed). Historical is listed on a separate sheet and included with the order. If historical typings were attached to the bag it would need to be clearly labeled tie tag. I can not see how historical typings could be printed on the label. Link to post Share on other sites
Ward_X 63 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Antigens confirmed using licensed anti-sera are printed on the unit label. Any additional tested with unlicensed sera come with a separate tie tag that lists the more uncommon antigens that may have possibly been tested. Any historical donor antigen neg. also get a different tag, but normally we still confirm. antigen type for the ones we need. Link to post Share on other sites
