Donor Profiler

"A donor phenotype classification is a method to curate a cryopreserved red blood cell inventory.

Purpose

  • Analyzes available donor information and classifies donor phenotype creating an individual donor profile.

  • Defines red blood cell (RBC) unit standard of care​

  • Provides a mechanism to create and analyze the donor profile of a service area (collective donor profile)

Main Functions

  • Recommends RBC unit cryopreservation

  • Recommends the degree of typing for a specific donor
    (whether RBCs should be phenotyped in addition to ABO, Rh, and Kell for Kidd, Duffy, MNS, and other blood groups)

  • Identifies donor phenotypes that are in strong demand for both planned and emergency transfusions (based on seven ABO, RhD, K, C/c, E/e antigens)

  • Identifies rare blood types and antigen combinations 
    (i.e., E-e-, C-c-, Jk(a-b-), M-N-)

  • Creates individual IHF donor profile

  • Performs donor registry analysis
