Each objective below describes a transfusion-service laboratory competency, from sample receipt through compatibility testing to documented blood issue.

  • State the eligibility criteria commonly required for electronic (computer) crossmatch and explain why each one exists
  • Describe the role of a validated laboratory information system (LIS) and its ABO compatibility logic in performing an electronic crossmatch
  • Recognize situations that disqualify a patient from electronic crossmatch and require a serologic method instead
