AABB publishes…
Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services
rules for reading tubes (6)
Standardized light and mirror (optical aid)
Remove no more than 3 tubes at a time
Observe for hemolysis before shaking (clear red background)
Shake tubes to create “swirling” action
Grade when cell button is completely resuspended/breaks off
Reaction grades ≠ interpretations
M+
microscopic agglutination
2+mf
mixed field agglutination
principle of DAT
Detection of in vivo sensitization of RBCs with IgG and/or complement
Part of HTR, HDFN and AIHA investigation
DAT
DAT procedure
Patient cells are washed, treated with polyspecific AHG, and spun
if DAT is +…
perform a monospecific DAT to determine if cells are sensitized with IgG or complement
requires QC with checkcells
any procedure involving AHG
(DAT)
principle of IAT
Detection of in vitro sensitization of RBCs with IgG
Part of ABS (antibody screen), XSM (crossmatch), Ag typing, and titering
IAT
with PEG in IAT, you must use…
anti-IgG AHG
