Hi - I’m curious to know how your facilities are implementing this revised CAP checklist TRM.31400 . Does your facility QC each of the panel cells on each day of use ?

Thanks .

TRM.31400

Antisera/Reagent Red Cell QC

Phase II

 

There are records of acceptable reactivity and specificity of typing sera and reagent red cells on each day of use, including a check against known positive and negative cells or antisera, or manufacturer's instructions for daily quality control are followed.

We QC our Panocell III (along with all bench reagents) daily with an external POS/NEG control.

The Panocell 10 does not require this and each lab decides their own policy. The package insert says, "The reactivity MAY be checked periodically".

This approach was selected to ensure quality and exceed the "Manufacturer's Recommendation" which, as you stated, will be decided on a lab by lab basis.
