This comprehensive book covers topics from initial planning to using and maintaining computerized transfusion medicine software. It provides an excellent basis for understanding the complexities of working with current technology by explaining common applications, procedures and requirements. Also addressed are the privacy standards from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and regulatory requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21 CFR part 11 concerning electronic records and electronic signatures. Other popular features include management of data storage and lists of helpful Web sites.Written from the perspective of transfusion medicine practitioners, this book provides a common ground for discussion between information technology and medical specialists.

Many hospitals and transfusion services are now using pneumatic tube delivery systems as a means of delivering blood products faster and more efficiently. To ensure product safety and the maintenance of quality, system validation is key. The goal of this Guideline is to provide direction when considering pneumatic tube technology for blood component distribution. For facilities currently using this technology, this serves as a comparison between legacy methods and those addressed by the current validation. For institutions using legacy pneumatic tube systems, this document can help direct procedures needed to maintain long-term quality assurance goals.

Developed for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Marilyn Moulds, MT(ASCP)SBB, and Mary Kowalski, MT(ASCP)SBB This Guideline is intended to assist transfusion services with the identification of antibodies in patients with a reactive pretransfusion antibody detection test. Its major sections address 1) routine testing and interpretation guidelines, 2) additional guidance and testing, and 3) unusual antibody identification situations. Instructive case studies accompany each section, and more guidance is included in several appendices. Although this resource can be used as a training tool, those readers who are already familiar with related material in the AABB Technical Manual will derive the most benefit. The scope and depth of the content will appeal to facilities and technologists who work with a single antibody identification panel using the same method employed for antibody detection as well as laboratories that use multiple panels and special testing methods.
