38. Comparison of Solid-Phase Antibody Screening Tests with Pooled Red Cells in Blood Donors Reference: Vox Sang 1996;71:37-42 Solid-phase antibody screening in 10,008 blood donors Technique number of Detection of donors with donors detected IgG Antibodies (n=41) IgG a nonspecific b sensitivity specificity test % % efficiency c Capture R Ready Screen 40 61 97.6 99.39 1.40 Solidscreen II (polyspecific AHG) 39 11 95.1 99.88 1.89 Solidscreen II – (Anti-IgG) 38 2 92.7 99.98 1.95 Total d 41 67 a Correct positive test result: IgG antibody with blood group specificity detected. b False-positive test result: nonspecific positive reactions with all panel cells including the autocontrol. c The test efficiency (result validity) is the sum of the predictive values for positive and negative test results. A value of 2.0 indicates an optimal test efficiency.
