Confirm ABO Blood Group at patient bedside

Safety Test ABO is a medical in vitro diagnostic device for professional use to confirm ABO blood group compatibility before a transfusion, at the patient’s bedside. This testing comes in addition to patient identity checking and comparison between group on blood bag label and the patient’s group.

The procedure is based on haemagglutination’s principles. Red blood cells carry antigens and agglutinate in the presence of test sera (reagents) carrying corresponding antibodies (colored reagents are dried out on the card’s wells).

Safety Test ABO (Ref 79069) includes 100 single-use tests packed separately. A single test of Safety Test ABO consists of:

• 1 Safety Card AB is individually packed in a sealed package
  1 vial of NaCl 0,9% (physiological saline)
  1 fingerprick lancet
  1 segment opener
  4 spatulas
