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. 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. For known antibodies from freeze samples this correspondence amounted to 82%. 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%). 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%. Phosphate-buffered saline intended for use in immunohematological procedure or as a general laboratory diluent when normal or isotonic saline is indicated.

Enhance weak agglutination reactions with this saline, buffered to a pH of 7.0 -7.2 to match the pH of human blood. As the largest manufacturer of reagent red blood cells in the world, Ortho can offer labs a full line of reagent red blood cells that are accurate, flexible, effective and reactive.

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. Thermo Scientific NERL Blood Bank Saline. The suitability of automation and data processing in order to reduce the bulk of routine and emergency work was explored. Work processes were analyzed to see where improvements could be made before installing an automated testing instrument. The 3 mL rack can accommodate reverse group, antibody detection and antibody identification RRBC. The 10 mL rack can accommodate reverse grouping and antibody detection (screen) RRBC. The use of automated techniques reduces the impact of human errors in blood banking and improves standardization and quality of achieved results. Supports 6 independent RBC racks, each can hold 11-3 mL vials or 6-10 mL vials, including various combinations.
