This document provides guidance for printing text and coding red blood cell antigen test results on the affixed blood label. It gives a recommended hierarchy to order the test results on the label, and also recommends font styles to differentiate between upper-case and lower-case letters (when the difference between the 2 is based only on size). This guidance document applies to US facilities but can be used in other countries.
Main sections:
- Background
- Order of antigens
- Antigen text font size and superscripts
- Test results to print
- User of separators
- Use of reverse printing
- Label text examples
- Electronically-Readable Red Cell Antigen Test Results
- Appendix A - List of antigen names, alternative names and ISBT codes
