I just unpacked my new Sorvall Cell Washer Plus and there is a warning not to use plastic tubes. We have been using plastic tubes in our old Sorvalls for years. I called their customer support and I was told that this does not leave a dry cell button so plastic should not use. Now I have 2 concerns; do I want a washer that does not leave a dry cell button and if I do will the plastic tubes be OK. Has anyone had this experience?

I agree, we repair until they become dry and crack often.

Are you looking for something cheaper? We are happy with the ones from them.

I can add, for TAT for T/S in under management-> tests not done in time (that is after you have defined your benchmark).

That is what happens with champagne! I am going to have one more swipe at those lights!

Bad enough that I am working on Christmas Day but now somone is breaking my Christmas lights!@#%^^& Merry Christmas to All. I just realized that someone is ME. How fun, I will be doing it all day.

I can add one more. We use iPassport. It is a lot to set up but after that it is great. Our general lab was cited for document control from CAP and I was given this project. We are going to be inspected any day so I am anxious to show them.

We do have our results defined along with the other departments. This seems like we are to check the Hematology/Coag critical results before and after transfusion. Our quality management department does monitor transfusions and all critical values but does not put them together. Anyone have any ideas?

Has anyone found an answer?

If you email me at bbonnema@ingalls.org I can send you ours.

We use Soft and it does the same, just puts it for redelivery. I am almost positive it is fine since that donor number is unique, but would be interested in others comments.

We are using screen VS 539 and II 1+ Pos. Our patient was negative 2/20/12 and now probably a K and another unexpected 1+ on #2 cell. The other patient had a know FYa.

I just had 2 react with those. (the only 2 panels we did)

We use a Zebra printer for the unit sticky tag with patient information and upon issue we laser print one copy of a Transfusion Record for for transfusion documentation and vitals.

Do you have a procedure for Weak D in Gel that you could share?
