Ordering Information
|
Please note this test has to be requested for purposes of red cell transfusion and that just a Neonatal Blood Group and DAT will not suffice for red cell transfusion purposes. Please note that the neonatal group and screen is valid for a period of 4 months from the date of birth of the neonate unless the mother has a clinically significant antibody, in which case the neonatal group and screen will be only valid for a period of three days from testing. |
