Testing Algorithm
Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
Includes identification of ABO and Rh blood group antigens. If indicated, antibody identification will be performed. If ABO/Rh discrepancy is detected, the ABO/Rh problem test may be ordered to result the final ABO/Rh interpretation.
Method Name

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
ABO and Rh blood group antigens identified
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Standard ABO/Rh type will be reported. Routine types include: O pos, O neg, A pos, A neg, B pos, B neg, AB pos and AB neg. Any relevant discrepancies will be noted.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Clinical evaluation of antibodies identified is necessary to determine their potential for harm to the patient at this time and to assess appropriate action to be taken in the future.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Agglutination of patient red cells with an antiserum represents the presence of the corresponding antigen on the red cells. Agglutination of patient plasma with reagent red blood cells represents the presence of the corresponding antibodies.(Fung MK, Eder AF, Spitalnik SL, Westhoff CM, eds. Technical Manual. 19th ed. AABB; 2017)

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

Test Classification
Provides information regarding the medical device classification for laboratory test kits and reagents. Tests may be classified as cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used per manufacturer instructions, or as products that do not undergo full FDA review and approval, and are then labeled as an Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) product.
This test has been cleared, approved, or is exempt by the US Food and Drug Administration and is used per manufacturer's instructions. Performance characteristics were verified by Mayo Clinic in a manner consistent with CLIA requirements.
