Alana got a reaction from AuntiS in Antibody Panel QCHi all,
Thank you for the conversion on this topic. I have found it very interesting.
I'd like to mention that the package insert for OCD panel A/B says 'should be tested periodically' and Panocell from Immucor says, 'may be checked periodically'. Neither say must or shall. With that being said, the manufacturer is recommending but does not say it MUST be done.
Therefore at this time, we QC the test system (solid phase, tube and gel) with a known positive and negative but not each panel.

Alana got a reaction from Sherie Bruns in Electronic Crossmatches and CAPSherie
I am part of a large system with a shared BB LIS. We enter everything in the training side of the computer (also shared). The staff member will create a 'unique' patient name. Enter the components and pick the components for the 'unique' patient to complete the EXM. The person completing the EXM will print screen shots with the patient info/unit EXM. The only way to 'discover' the name is to look on the printed paperwork which does not leave the location.

Alana got a reaction from Yanxia in Cold screens and panels in frig- OK to do?How do you resolve ABO discrepancies without knowing what you are pre-warming? The back type cells are really screening cells with a flavor (ie blood type).
What do you do to resolve IM xm that are reactive? Just pre-warm without knowing what you are prewarming?
My fear is the patient that is developing a new aby that is present in the IgM phase but is clinically significant.

Alana got a reaction from Malcolm Needs in titration studiesMalcolm and David, thank you. This confirmed what I thought but wanted to make sure I was correct from those who had more expertise.
