    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Pathology
    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Laboratory Quality Assurance

    Background:

    • The College of American Pathologists conducts annual surveys to assess laboratory performance.
    • Blood banking practices require accurate serological testing for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the performance of clinical laboratories in blood banking procedures.
    • To assess the reliability of specimen transport in maintaining sample integrity.

    Main Methods:

    • An average of 2750 laboratories participated in the 1984 Comprehensive Blood Bank Survey.
    • Results from 16 selected laboratories were used to validate overall findings and specimen shipment.
    • Participants performed standard blood bank tests including ABO grouping, D typing, and antibody investigations.

    Main Results:

    • Participant performance in ABO grouping, D typing, and antibody detection/identification was generally good.
    • Special ungraded samples were used to challenge participants.
    • Specimen character was maintained during shipment, validating transport methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The survey demonstrated consistent and good performance in essential blood bank testing procedures.
    • The methods used for specimen shipment were effective in maintaining sample integrity.
    • Continuous quality assessment in blood banking is crucial for reliable transfusion services.
