Evaluation of the Galileo Echo™ Automated Blood Bank Instrument for  Pre-transfusion Testing Jimmy Lowery MT(ASCP), April Johnson MT(ASCP), Patricia Bouillon MT(ASCP)SH, Leslie Fugate MT(ASCP), Heather Bonner MT(ASCP) Willis-Knighton Health System, Shreveport, LA Results ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Conclusion The Galileo Echo automated blood bank analyzer has performed consistently and is a welcome addition to our lab for pre-transfusion testing.  We have achieved our main objective, which was pre-transfusion testing standardization across WKHS.  As for our goal to decrease the number of antibody identification workups which are referred out, we are currently still evaluating and validating the Galileo Echo for antibody identification, but the data collected so far has been promising. Background Willis-Knighton Health System (WKHS) is a 900+ bed healthcare system consisting of Willis-Knighton Medical Center (WKMC) and 3 satellite facilities; WK Pierremont Health Center (WKP), Willis-Knighton South (WKS) and WK Bossier Health Center (WKB).  Prior to implementation of the Galileo Echo™ (ImmucorGamma, Inc. Norcross, GA), Gel Test™ method (Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ) was utilized for antibody screens at all three satellite facilities while antibody screens were done at WKMC using tube LISS method (Panoscreen®, ImmucorGamma, Inc. Norcross, GA).  Tube hemagglutination was used at all 4 sites for ABO/Rh testing.  Weak D testing was performed at all 4 sites using tube method.  At the satellite facilities, all positive screens are referred to a local reference lab for antibody identification (ID).  At WKMC and at the local reference lab, antibody ID is performed using tube LISS method (Panocell®, ImmucorGamma, Inc. Norcross, GA).  The main goal when considering blood bank automation and the Galileo Echo was standardization across WKHS for pre-transfusion testing.  The Galileo Echo would also allow for more antibody identification workups to be done in-house, resulting in lower reference laboratory costs.  As a laboratory system which depends largely on “generalist” technologists, blood bank automation would allow routine pre-transfusion testing to be more seamlessly integrated into our laboratory workflow. ,[object Object],References ImmucorGamma Galileo Echo Operator Manual,  © 2007 ImmucorGamma Galileo Echo Validation Guide, ©2007 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Galileo Echo image courtesy of Immucor, Inc. ©2009
