You are reviewing the Draft QC Summary Report by comparing the information on the report to each supply and piece of equipment. What 2 things are you verifying as a part of this review?
The documentation of supplies and equipment has been accurately entered into eBDR.
Results from all assets that are needed for the drive appear on the report.
What complications need to be captured in the Reaction Module?
All of them.
If the donor refuses the deferral letter, what do you do?
Click "Donor Comments."
Record that the donor refused the letter.
What actions do you take when you are attempting to collect sample tubes and one of the tubes does not fill?
Deface the DIN on the empty sample tube and discard.
Obtain a new tube.
Affix a tube DIN.
Collect the sample tube.
The first hemoglobin test result, for a male donor, is 13.2g/dL. How do you proceed?
Inform the donor they can donate WB today or come back another day to donate Power Reds.
The hemoglobin test should not be repeated if the first test result qualifies the donor for any procedure.
What 2 tiles can be used to check that the drive has been closed and the EOD files have successfully sent?
Drive closed: Drive Monitor tile to ensure there is a “Drive End Time” displayed.
Files sent: Site Master Dashboard tile to ensure that the “Collected Data Files” with today’s date have a green check mark displayed in the status column.
When do you ask the donor if they are allergic to the arm preparation?
After selecting the arm in the phlebotomy device, before beginning the scrub countdown timer on the bed scale.
When taking a donor's pulse rhythm, when would you continue counting for an additional 30 seconds (for a total of 60 seconds)?
If any irregularity is felt within the first 30 seconds.
When discontinuing a WB donor, you notice a product DIN has been incorrectly affixed to the bag. What do you do?
Complete a component investigation form (CIF) (11.4.frm300/FRM-0000096).
Complete a Special Handling tie tag and attach.
Mark “Hold for Further Evaluation.”
Notify the drive lead.
Priming the kit occurs when what 3 things are true?
An eligible donor has been received in the donation chair.
The donor’s identity in the phlebotomy device has been ensured.
The donor’s venous access has been determined to be adequate to support the collection procedure.
A staff informs you that they accidentally scanned out a good unit as QNS. They did not deface the base label of the bag or the sample tubes. How do you manage this unit?
When the completion code is incorrectly selected as QNS or Contaminated, it MUST NOT be changed. These units must be managed as QNS or Contaminated whether or not the bag is defaced.
When shipping, the eBDR screen the BCM is compared against prior to reconciling the BCM with the units in the transporter.
What is Extraction Setup.
Q29 has an unexpected response.
What is the definition of residency?
Residence is defined as a continuous stay of longer than 5 years in a country or countries having any malaria-endemic area.
How would you manage a situation where 500 mL or greater was collected when the correct target volume is 470 mL?
Determine the weight of the donor.
If the donor weighs 155 lb. or greater, then no further actions are needed.
If the donor weighs less than 155 lb, then:
Manage the product as a discard.
Select “Contaminated” as the Completion code.
Deface the base label of the primary bag with “Discard.”
Deface the DIN on each tube and any associated materials with “X.”
Notify the drive lead.
When does the MQC test need to be ordered?
A QC message displays.
The component volume exceeded the
expected range.
2RBC range: 558 mL to 682 mL
Single RBC range: 279 mL to 341 mL
The Procedure Complete screen is blank.
A single unit is collected.
On the first Monday (and first day of use for the master server after the first Monday), what do you do if you see the “red ball” when opening Site Master Setup (SMS)?
Run SMS.
If after running SMS, the ball is still red, staff will need to contact Process Technical Support. This is an indication that the new configuration files have not downloaded.
When is the helpful tips for your donation flyer (LD-5906) provided to the donor?
Once labeling is complete.
If the initial blood pressure or pulse rate is unacceptable, how will you proceed with the donor?
Document both results in eBDR.
Wait a period of time before repeating the test.
Repeat the test (BP and pulse).
Document both results from the repeat measurement.
Determine donor eligibility based on both results from the second measurement.
Select the same reason for repeating for both tests.
What actions do you take when “Begin Draw” (start time) was selected at the Complete Draw (fast draw)?
Notify the drive lead to obtain the registration time in electronic Blood Donation Registration (eBDR).
Complete the Special Handling tie tag and attach.
Mark “Slow Bleed.”
Using the phlebotomy device, select “Info > Comments > Incorrect Start Time.”
Enter the start time.
Select “Submit Comment.”
Ensure the comments are displayed.
Select “Continue” to accept.
A donor is discontinued during the second draw cycle and the rinseback was not completed. How will you complete the phlebotomy documentation?
Product Type: Single RBC
Outcome Code: N1
Initial Product Volume Loss: 470
Test: Machine QC
How would you manage a blood exposure to a staff, donor or volunteer?
Flush the site with water.
Report the incident immediately to a supervisor.
Assist them in calling UCBLOOD (877-822-5663) to report the exposure.
Notify the regional medical director or physician on
call of the exposure.
If the exposure is to a donor… then document the complication in the reaction module (15.4.ref702/REF-0001637).

values to choose from? What are they and when would you select each?
483mL - final volume collected is 499mL or less
533mL - final volume collected is 500mL or greater
