Abstract
- The Société Française de Transfusion Sanguine and the Centre National de Référence pour les Groupes Sanguins performed a quality control to evaluate the performances of two serological tests: the Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) and the Elution test. Among the 110 Blood Transfusion Centers participating in this control, 80 (73%) returned a result. Of these, 68 results were correct for the DAT (85%; positive for type IgG) and 31 results were correct for the elution (39%; anti-FY1). This control gave the opportunity to confirm the main procedures used in routine testing on a national scale. The analysis of the results underlines the importance of the choice of a standardized technique for these tests. Such controls are useful to appreciate the quality of the routine tests and to find the means to improve them.
