    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFO PROVIDED BY THE CUSTOMER AND THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION, THE GEL CARD REACTED AS EXPECTED BY CORRECTLY DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF ANTIBODIES DURING CROSSMATCH TESTING (INCOMPATIBLE). GEL CARD MALFUNCTION COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. THE CUSTOMER DID NOT PROVIDE INFO AS TO WHAT INFLUENCED THEIR DECISION TO TRANSFUSE THE PT WITH INCOMPATIBLE BLOOD. THIS COULD NOT BE RULED OUT AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE ADVERSE EVENT. THE CAUSE OF DEATH IS UNKNOWN BY MTS (THIS INFO WAS NOT PROVIDED BY THE CUSTOMER). IF A PT IS TRANSFUSED WITH ANTIGEN-POSITIVE BLOOD, THEY MAY SUFFER HEMOLYTIC TRANSFUSION REACTION. THE LIKELIHOOD OF A SERIOUS INJURY, WHILE NOT FREQUENT, IS NOT REMOTE.

    THE CUSTOMER CONTACTED THE CALL CENTER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE KIND OF REACTIONS OBSERVED WITH ANTI-SDA AND ANTI-HENSHAW. BECAME AWARE OF THIS EVENT THROUGH CONVERSATION WITH THE CUSTOMER. A SAMPLE FROM A PT WITH MULTIPLE ANTIBODIES (ANTI-SDA, ANTI-HENSHAW) REACTED AS MIXED-FIELD DURING COMPATIBILITY/CROSSMATCH TESTING WITH 37 UNITS OF BLOOD.
