Use of Red Blood Cells Stored in Saline Suspension for Immediate Spin Crossmatch
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to validate a procedure for using red blood cell suspensions stored for up to 10 days in an immediate spin crossmatch. Ten group A and 10 group B SAG-M donor unit segments were opened on day 0. The red cells were divided into 2 tubes and each diluted with saline to a 3% to 5% cell suspension. The cell suspensions were tested using a standard immediate spin technique against pooled group A, group B, and group O plasma each day for 10 days. One set of cells was stored refrigerated as a 3% to 5% cell suspension. Saline was removed from the parallel set of cells before storage. All 480 tests that were expected to be negative were negative. On 2 separate occasions 1+ or 2+ reactions that disappeared before the cell button was completely resuspended were noted. All 960 tests that were expected to be positive were positive. All but 4 results were graded as 3+ or 4+. Four 2+ reactions occurred with 2 units that were typed as A1 negative. Our results indicate that cells stored refrigerated in normal saline as a 3% to 5% cell suspension may be used for immediate spin crossmatch for up to 10 days.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
