Efforts are made to have publications of the AABB consistent in regard to acceptable practices. However, for several reasons, they may not be. First, as new developments in the practice of blood banking occur, changes may be recommended to the Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services. It is not possible, however, to revise each publication at the time such a change is adopted. Thus, it is essential that the most recent edition of the Standards be consulted as a reference in regard to current acceptable practices. Second, the views expressed in this publication represent the opinions of authors. The publication of this book does not constitute an endorsement by the AABB of any view expressed herein, and the AABB expressly disclaims any liability arising from any inaccuracy or misstatement.

Manual was the work of many dedicated individuals. In addition to the chapter authors, I would like to thank my three associate editors: Brenda Grossman, Teresa Harris, and Chris Hillyer. Their efforts and long hours in revising and rewriting chapters during the review process made my job immeasurably easier. Teresa, in particular, took the lead in revising the methods sections, a job she is eminently more qualified to undertake than I. If you enjoy the content of the 17th edition, all credit should go to the associate editors and the authors. Laurie Munk, Jennifer Boyer, Jay Pennington, and their colleagues are an unmatched publication resource. Their knowledge of transfusion medicine is encyclopedic, matched only by their grammatical acumen. If the text reads well, it is due to their efforts. Should you find problems with the 17th edition, however, the blame resides with me. We would also like to acknowledge the members of the following committees and program units for their expert review of chapters, methods, and appendices for the 17th edition of the Technical Manual.

Preface

H E E D I T O R S A R E pleased to present the 17th edition of the Technical Manual. This is the second edition to use the revised format, which includes listing authorship for each chapter. In preparing the 17th edition, we carefully considered the comments received after publication of the 16th edition, both from readers and from authors. Many believed that the new format was successful in bringing the necessary levels of expertise to the preparation of each chapter. However, they also suggested a number of changes that have now been incorporated into the present edition. For example, Chapter 10 was expanded through the addition of several pages of basic and applied immunology as a primer for later immunohematology chapters. A section on hemovigilance was added to Chapter 27 in keeping with AABBs expanding commitment to this important quality and safety activity. Another significant change was the inclusion of several Key Points at the end of each chapter, which should be useful for both students and experienced readers alike. We believe that with the revised format a modest amount of author rotation is beneficial. Thus, for the 17th edition we recruited new authors for three chapters; additional authorship changes were also made for five other chapters. These changes should help to keep the text of the 17th edition fresh while also maintaining continuity with earlier editions. One aspect of the Technical Manual that has not changed is the commitment of the AABB and the editors to extensive, multi-layered technical review. Each chapter was reviewed and revised at least twice by an editor. The chapters were also submitted to sub-

ject matter-appropriate committees for detailed content review (see list in Acknowledgments). All chapters were then subjected to additional regulatory, AABB standards, legal, and editorial review prior to publication. Finally, as noted above, many highly knowledgeable readers functioned as an ad hoc post-publication review committee for the 16th edition by bringing errors and omissions to the editors notice. We have carefully considered each of the issues that was raised and where appropriate included revised text in the 17th edition. Because the field of blood banking, transfusion medicine, and cellular therapy is complex, detail-oriented, and continues to evolve, we once again invite all readers to contact us if they should find omissions, errors, and inconsistencies in the 17th edition, or if they would like to suggest ways to improve the next edition of the Technical Manual. We value your opinions and look to the readership for assistance in keeping this valuable resource up to date with our dynamically evolving field. It is important for readers to realize that, in the opinions of the chapter authors and the editors, the methods chosen for inclusion in the 17th edition represent best technical practices. However, these methods are not the only approaches that fulfill the requirements of AABB Standards; readers may choose to use other approaches. Furthermore, should you find that any method or statement in the Technical Manual is in conflict with the Standards, the authority of the Standards supersedes that of the Technical Manual. John D. Roback, MD, PhD Chief Editor
