Experiences of U.K. Notionol Externol Quality Assessment Scheme for Blood Group Serology
Abstract
- The blood bank of the Seoul National University Hospital has joined the U.K. National External Quality Assessment Scheme(NEQAS) for Blood Group Serology since 1992. We reported correct answers on all occasions for thirty-six samples tested for ABO, RhD typing, and direct antiglobulin test. Among 36 antibody screening and antibody,,identification tests, we missed one anti-S. Among 96 crossmatchings, we made 4 major errors and one minor error. It was interesting that all of the major errors we made were from the sample delivered in mid-summer. Since the items included in the domestic program for the external quality control of blood group serology are very limited in Korea, joining any international quality control program will be necessary for larger blood banks to assure quality of varirous blood bank tests being performed.
