7. Examine the tube no. 1 <strong>for</strong> haemolysis or The satellite blood centre should maintain the record<br />

also issue a cross-match report along with the blood<br />

INTERPRETATION :<br />
No haemolysis or agglutination indicates<br />
compatible cross-match, while haemolysis or The clinician in charge of the patient should be<br />
agglutination indicates incompatible cross-match. advised to send the reaction <strong>for</strong>m completely filled,<br />
