“…A survey by Engelfreit et al showed that many countries and institutions have implemented or have planned to implement electronic cross-matching technology. [18] Further improvements in the erythrocyte antigenic spectrum, especially the Mur antigen in Asian populations, are expected to ensure the safety of the implementation of electronic cross-matching in China.…”

“…These automated methods have led to a dramatic improvement in blood safety and to low risk of viral transmission [12]. However, automation provides additional value in the field of immunohematology in which any human errors can have dramatic consequences for the patients [13][14][15][16]. Automation is now widely used in serological typing of blood groups, of irregular antibody screening and of compatibility testing.…”

The use of automated techniques reduces the impact of human errors in blood banking and improves standardization and quality of achieved results. Work processes were analyzed to see where improvements could be made before installing an automated testing instrument. The suitability of automation and data processing in order to reduce the bulk of routine and emergency work was explored. Methods: The evaluation focused on blood group and subgroup typing, crossmatching, and antibody screening using the Ortho AutoVue Innova System compared to standard manual methods. Results: The redesigned layout of the workspace led to a reduction of the operator’s working process time of the specimen by 6%, whereas process optimizations resulted in shortening of the operator’s working process time by 53%. Using the manual DiaMed system and the automatic AutoVue system, corresponding results were achieved for blood group typing (100%), rhesus typing (100%), antibody screening (100%), and autocontrol (87%). For known antibodies from freeze samples this correspondence amounted to 82%. The turnaround time from receipt at blood bank to completion for standard cross-matching, blood typing, and antibody screening is decreased up to 17% using the automatic system due to the standardization and automation of testing. Conclusion: The Ortho AutoVue Innova System facilitates the automation of routine blood bank testing, enrolling blood typing, cross-matching, and antibody screening with high reliability, sensitivity and specificity compared to standard manual methods.

“…Sweden is the only country where it is universally used. In a survey by Engelfriet and Reesink (2001), the use of E‐XM is restricted to cases in which no irregular red cell antibodies are detected or have been detected previously. In addition, two concordant ABO and Rh types of the patients are required universally.…”

Donors' blood group declaration before donation can be used as a tool for electronic crossmatching

Electronic crossmatching (E-XM) is used to detect ABO incompatibility. In developing countries, as many of the donations are from first-time donors, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the ABO/Rh label on these units to use them for E-XM. This problem was overcome with a new software 'hemosoft', using donors' blood group declaration before donation as a tool for E-XM. During registration, donors either declare their blood group or give no comment. For, ABO/Rh grouping, either two results from different donations or only one in concordant with the declaration before donation is needed. If there is a conflict, second typing is performed from the unit segment. If donors give no declaration, two different technicians perform typing, one from the sample tube and the other from the unit segment. Of 18,618 donations performed, 640 (3%) were repeated and the rest were first-time donations. In 16,327, typing was performed once, as the blood group declaration and the typing results were identical. In 2407, grouping was performed twice, as donors gave no declaration or conflicts between declaration and typing results were found. No labelling or wrong unit-release errors were detected in units donated, typed and labelled in our centre. In 26,402 donations, 16,314 (61.8%) E-XMs were performed. No major haemolytic transfusion reaction was recorded. Donors' ABO/Rh declaration before donation can be used as a tool for E-XM, instead of the requirement for serological confirmation or a second donation to guarantee grouping.
