CAP Comprehensive Blood Bank Survey--1984.
An average of 2750 laboratories participated in the 1984 Comprehensive Blood Bank Survey of the College of American Pathologists. Results from 16 laboratories were utilized to validate results and assure maintenance of specimen character during shipment. Results of ABO grouping, D typing, special antigen typing, antibody detection, and antibody identification by participants remained good and are discussed. Special ungraded samples were provided as additional challenges. The results of these studies and the responses to supplementary questions are discussed.
