1 pointYou are required to perform all CLIA required 6 elements for each platform of testing in your lab, assuming you are in the US. I would imagine competency assessment plans will be highly specific. We have a lot of them, they are focused on our exact workflows and would not translate well to another facility.1 point

1 pointWe use 3 cell screen, 4 cell screen, IgG check cells and A1 and B cells for tube tests, plus a few of the monoclonal antisera. Only negative comment I have received from staff is that the IgG check cells tend to be weaker than Immucor, more like 2-3+ rather than 3-4+. Saved a lot of money making this switch, and we are looking at changing a few more reagents in 2019.1 point

1 pointJust out of curiosity, does anyone remember why it was included in the first place? At one time, long ago, the weak D test was thought to be useful in detecting fetal maternal bleeds but that is long past.1 point -

Calculation of blood shortage at a centre
Ensis01 reacted to David Saikin for a post in a topic
1 pointI kept track of the number of units of a particular type and the ability of my blood supplier to accommodate the order. Say I was ordering O Negs. I wanted 4, they said they could only give me 2. When I said ok they changed my request to 2u instead of the 4 I wanted. Needless to say they were surprised when they rec'd my QA of their ability to meet my needs over the course of a year.1 point
