ANORRIS

I may be in the wrong "blog", but my question is, how many of you XM units first then type the compatible ones for the necessary antigens as opposed to antigen typing the units first then cross matching the antigen negative units?

Nurse takes it as is. Too many wasted after I pooled and shortened exp. date.

We use our Ortho check cells made to 0.8% as our positive control and the 0.8% Ortho screening cells for the negative control every day a DAT is done.

I have not had any problems.......yet

We perform ABO/Rh and DAT on cord blood of a O + mom or an Rh neg mom.

Does any one have a check list for training Phlebotomist?

I am looking for a card to give recipients with multiple antibodies to alert the phlebotomist to draw extra tubes for probable reference lab send outs. This would be for out patients. Can any one help me???

Very happy for you....and very jealous...lol 2 more years for me.

Well I had my AABB/CAP inspection last week...did great, thank you, but she never once brought up the subject of expired panel cells....and neither did I. LOL

Donor blood????

Report as a Passive D due to Rh IG and date given

My AABB/CAP inspection is in 2 weeks...I'll let y'all know. LOL

Does any one use the ThermoCo HCBB1200 Temp Check electronic instrument? It looks like a flat scale.

It is in the AABB methods for Cell Washer Testing it includes to check the cell button in step #8

I use Ortho

Thank you for these forms.

What AABB Std is that for annual calibration? Thanks!

My helmer says to flush weekly...can't find flushing in AABB, and I don't see calibration in either.

I have had an e (heterozygous) negative at 5 min then pos at 10 min by another tech. I let them all sit for 10 min now.

Our IS department formatted ours

We also enter it as an event wasting blood/blood components so it can be reviewed by the appropriate people.

Yes, we charge the floor/unit responsible for the waste.

I do not scan them. I do keep the panels as an antibody workup. I do place a comment that the Passive D is probably due to RhIG injection with the date it was received.

We call them Passive D's if due to RhIG.
