In this study, we (1) determined the cutoff values of DSA strength as predictors of XM results from proficiency test samples, and (2) validated those cutoff values in a pool of candidates for renal transplant who were
crossmatched with potential, living donors.
Thus, the advantage of this policy for us is that identification remains the same during the period of hospitalization, and previously
crossmatched units within 72-hour periods are not required to be re-
crossmatched with the new sample unless an unexpected red-cell antibody is detected.
Centralized testing means blood has already been
crossmatched, saving hospitals time and money.
A RCOG spokeswoman said clinics that
crossmatched blood were 'going over the top' because just 0.
The American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) suggests that blood bank managers do this by monitoring specific statistical data, such as the ratios of crossmatched to transfused (C:T) red blood cell (RBC) units and the percentages of RBC units that expire (outdate) before those units are utilized.

More significant, when an AB unit of blood was
crossmatched by immediate spin against group A recipient specimens, the false-negative rate was 3.
Healthcare-ID's transfusion verification system works to assure that the patient receives the correct typed and
crossmatched unit of blood.
Problem: Hold orders, calling for blood to be
crossmatched and kept in the blood bank, were being filled with nearly outdated units (one to five days left).
Various reports on
crossmatched units are always available.
But those who made the request believed we would set aside
crossmatched donor units.
310 If donor red blood cells are incompatible with the mother, units must be
crossmatched against the child using the antiglobulin test, until a compatible crossmatch has been observed.
