Blood Donor Screening for Transfusion-Transmissible Infections

All the collected blood units were screened for TTIs in accordance with national donor screening guidelines. For serological testing, the automated chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay analyzer ARCHITECT i2000 system (CMIA, Abbott Diagnostic, USA), with validated commercially available assays, was used for the detection of HBsAg (ARCHITECT HBsAg Qualitative), Anti-HCV (ARCHITECT Anti-HCV), HIV p24 antigen and anti-HIV-1&2 (ARCHITECT HIV Ag/Ab Combo), anti-HBc (ARCHITECT Anti-HBc II), and Anti-HBs (ARCHITECT Anti-HBs). All procedures were carried out according to the manufacturer's instruction, and the results were expressed as a signal to cut-off (S/CO), and S/CO > 1.0 was considered reactive. In addition to CMIA, blood units were also tested in parallel by individual nucleic acid test (ID-NAT) for HBV-DNA, HCV-RNA and HIV-1&2-RNA using The Procleix Ultrio Elite assay on the Panther system (Grifols, Spain) as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions. For initially reactive samples, the Ultrio Elite discriminatory assays for HIV-1/2, HCV, or HBV were performed.

Blood counts were determined at the Central Laboratory of the University Hospital Essen according to routine procedures. For HIV-1/2 diagnostics, the screening tests Architect HIV Ag/Ab Combo (chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA); Abbott, Wiesbaden, Germany) and Elecsys HIV combi PT (electrochemiluminescence immunoassay; Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) were utilized. Further, the confirmatory test INNO-LIA HIV I/II Score (line-immunoassay; Fujirebio, Hannover, Germany) and RealTime HIV-1 m2000sp (qPCR; Abbott, Wiesbaden, Germany) were employed. The presence of an EBV infection was assessed using the chemiluminescence immunoassays (CLIAs) Liaison EBV IgM, VCA IgG, and EBNA IgG (all DiaSorin, Dietzenbach, Germany). SARS-CoV-2-specific Abs were measured using the SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG ELISA (DiaSorin) and the CLIA Liaison SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS IgG assay (DiaSorin) for spike-specific Abs (IgG S), while the CMIA SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay (Abbott) was used for nucleocapsid (N)-specific Abs (IgG N).

Serological examinations for Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBc), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Treponema pallidum exposure were performed on Alinity s analyzer using following Alinity s assays: HIV Ag/Ab Combo, Anti-HBc, Anti-HCV and Syphilis reagent kit (Abbott, North Chicago, IL, USA). Direct detection of Human immunodeficiency virus, Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus in blood samples was performed on Cobas 6800 System with Roche Cobas MPX kit (Roche Diagnostics International AG, Rotkreuz, Switzerland). All assays and appliances were used according to manufacturer instructions.

Improving HIV Testing Rates in Healthcare Settings

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
During both the standard and enhanced testing phases, patients could be offered HIV testing directly by their providers, by HIV counselors responding to orders placed by providers in the EMR, or by counselors approaching patients without an order. In accordance with MMC policy, all offers were opt-in.
From September 1st, 2013 until May 17, 2014 specimens underwent third generation HIV testing (Siemens Medical Diagnostics) with reactive results confirmed by Western blot. From May 18, 2014 to March 31, 2015 specimens underwent fourth generation testing with the HIV Ag/Ab Combo (Abbott). Reactive results were confirmed by HIV 1/2 Multispot (Bio-Rad) or, for those with nonreactive or indeterminate Multispot results, by qualitative viral load (Aptima). Because the transition from third to fourth generation testing occurred while the EMR prompt was active, the prompt was suspended for re-programming. Therefore, the total study period comprised two periods of standard testing alternating with two periods of enhanced testing.
The number of HIV counselors on staff was constant throughout the study. Counselors worked weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and responded to EMR orders placed outside of these hours on the next business day. All counselors were bilingual in English and Spanish.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
