Q

rules for reading tubes (6)

A

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

19
Q

IAT procedure

A

Patient plasma is added to screen cells I, II and III and incubated at 37° for 15 minutes

then washed, treated with AHG

20
Q

AGT false positives (8)

A

Improper specimen
Autoagglutinable cells
Polyagglutinable cells
Bacterial contamination
Overcentrifugation
Overreading
Preservative-dependant Ab
DAT + cells used for IAT (will always be +)

21
Q

AGT false negatives (7)

A

Inadequate washing
AHG reagent or serum not added
AHG reagent deteriorated
Inadequate incubation
Weak or heavy cell suspension
Under or overcentrifugation
Poor reading technique

22
Q

method of choice for ID of Ab after DAT+

A

acid elution

23
Q

acid elution procedure

A

Ab-sensitized RBC in vivo + eluting solution (mix/spin) →

free Ab in acidic supernatant + buffering solution (mix/spin) →

free Ab in neutral supernatant

24
Q

ensures that Ab in acid elution is from RBC and not free Ab
