Must I encode the donation type in the ABO/Rh data structure (data structure 002)?
Your autologous units must be encoded in the donation type as part of the ABO data structure (data structure 002). If a directed unit cannot be crossed over, it should be encoded in the ABO/Rh data structure. If a directed unit may be crossed over, it should not be encoded in the ABO/Rh data structure in the U.S.
