Thanks to its transfusion sensitivity, DIAGAST has always offered in its catalog, products to perform the ultimate pre-transfusion test. As the last check at the patient’s bed, before the transfusion of any blood product (including in emergency situations), it is of paramount importance in guaranteeing the ABO compatibility of the labile blood products (LBC) to be transfused. The ABO transfusion accident is potentially DEADLY. The final pre-transfusion test is the last step to detect a failure in the transfusion circuit and, among other things, this test prevents an ABO haemolytic incident due to an error: From the recipient’s blood sample, In the allocation or distribution of an LSP to be transfused In the choice of the right patient to be transfused. ABTest Card® is a device for the confirmation of ABO compatibility between the patient and the blood unit to be transfused. Based on the M-TRAP® technology, it allows an easy and simple confirmation, safer for both user and patient. The red blood cells tested, carrying an antigen, interact with the related antibodies, revealing a red spot (positive reaction). The red blood cells that do not carry the antigen do not interact with the antibodies and cross the membrane. The spot will appear light green or white (negative reaction). If the red blood cells tested interact with the associated antibodies, the blood deposit remains. Red blood cells carry the desired antigens. It is a positive reaction. If the red blood cells tested do not interact with the associated antibodies, the blood deposit disappears. Red blood cells do not carry the desired antigens. It is a negative reaction
