title: [Ultimate pre-transfusion control: evaluation of seven appliances].
abstract: The transfusion unit of the Institut Gustave Roussy has tested seven pre-transfusion ABO control devices registered at the Agence française de sécurité sanitaire et des produits de santé. Determination of the optimal plan to replace the existing plan in our institution was the primary objective of this study. A significant heterogeneity was observed among tested devices. None of the tested plans fulfilled all the desired quality criteria.
