Abstract

The integrity of the sample received is very crucial for optimum results in laboratory tests. Dr. D.Y. Patil Hospital Department of Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion receives samples for various tests like compatibility tests and cross matching, ICT, DCT etc. for which, if sample received is not as per acceptance criteria i.e. adequacy, without hemolyzed EDTA and incomplete test requisition forms (CDC sample collection criteria SC00‐SC11). We analyzed our data from February 2022 to July 2023 in which 10401 samples were received out of which 211 (2.02%) were rejected due to compromised integrity and incomplete documentation of Test Requisition Form (TRF). The CDC haemovigilance incident code is classified as SC00 to SC11. The leading causes were Form discrepancy (FD) (38.38%), not labeled other than name samples ‐SC02(28.43%) and Incorrect labeled sample‐SC07(21.80%). The Clinical Departments with high rejection rates were Obstetrics and Gynecology (54/ 211 i.e. 25.59%) Surgery (47/211 i.e. 22.27%) Medicine (35/211 i.e. 16.58%) Pediatrics (27/211 i.e. 12.79%) Orthopedics (27/211 i.e. 12.79%). This led to compromised integrity as well as documentation delay in testing as well as issuing right components for transfusion.
