We are in the process of updating our crossmatch procedure.  I am wondering what the policies are at other Blood Banks if an Anti-M reacting at AHG is detected. Do you give extended crossmatch compatible or antigen negative? 

 

Also, what is the procedure if the Anti-M only reacts at immediate spin?

 

We appreciate the info, thank you!

See the "ANTI M" topic posted on the second page of the "Transfusion Services" Forum.

Thank you, now I just need to figure out why that topic did not come up when I searched....
