    MTS RECEIVED A SAMPLE FOR INVESTIGATION. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT WAS VERIFIED AT MTS. SAMPLE IS A WEAK D EXAMPLE, REACTING NEGATIVE IN ANTI-D GEL AND POSITIVE IN TUBE AT AHG PHASE ONLY. ALTHOUGH INCIDENT IS MOST LIKELY SAMPLE RELATED, GEL CARD MALFUNCTION COULD NOT BE RULED OUT. LABELING CAUTIONS THE USER AS FOLLOWS: VERY WEAK EXPRESSIONS OF THE D ANTIGEN MAY NOT BE DETECTED BY THE MTS MONOCLONAL ANTI-D GEL CARD. IN INSTANCES WHERE CONFIRMATION OF D NEGATIVE ANTIGEN STATUS IS REQUIRED, NEGATIVE D REACTIONS OBTAINED WITH THE MTS MONOCLONAL ANTI-D SHOULD BE RETESTED WITH AN ANTI-D REAGENT LICENSED FOR ANTIGLOBULIN PHASE TESTING. LESS THAN OPTIMAL TEST CELL CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT IN TEST REACTIONS, WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY OBSERVED. A D+ PATIENT ERRONEOUSLY TYPED AS D NEGATIVE: (1) WOULD RECEIVE D NEGATIVE BLOOD AND (2) MIGHT RECEIVE ANTI-D IMMUNOGLOBULIN DURING OR AFTER PREGNANCY OR AFTER TRANSFUSION OF D POSITIVE BLOOD TRANSFUSION OF D NEGATIVE BLOOD PRODUCTS TO A D POSITIVE PATIENT IS OF NON CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE. THE UNNECESSARY RECEIPT OF ANTI-D IMMUNOGLOBULIN CARRIES A RISK OF ADVERSE REACTIONS. THE LIKELIHOOD OF A SERIOUS INJURY IS REMOTE IN THIS SITUATION. A FALSE NEGATIVE RESULT WOULD LEAD TO WITHHOLDING OF ANTI-D IMMUNOGLOBULIN IN A NON-RHD IMMUNIZED MOTHER AND SUBSEQUENT RISK (1-10%) OF D IMMUNIZATION. THE SEVERITY LEVEL IS SEVERE/LIFE THREATENING DUE TO THE CUMULATIVE POTENTIAL RISKS OF A FALSE NEG. ALTHOUGH SERIOUS TRANSFUSION REACTIONS DUE TO ANTI-D ARE NOT USUAL, THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT REMOTE.
