Standards for Immunohematology Reference Laboratories, 14th Edition – Print

The 14th edition of Standards for Immunohematology Reference Laboratories relies on a matrix of quality management system and detailed operational requirements, such as those defining minimum antisera resources.

Significant Changes to the 14th Edition

• Standards 1.9 and 1.9.1 have been added to ensure that clear communication exists between AABB and all accredited laboratories in cases where an event has occurred that has impacted their accreditation status.
• Standard 3.5.4.1 clarifies what has to occur if a singular piece of equipment cannot be identified as the cause of the nonconformance.
• Standard 3.7 has been added to ensure that all laboratories monitor their critical technology infrastructure and that they function as expected. This standard requires that there are defined checks to monitor that technology is working as intended and expected.
• Standard 5.1.2.5 has been added to ensure that when titration testing errors occur, they are reported while ensuring that previously defined titered results can be used as a part of the reporting.
