54 Introduction Expeditious FXM assay giving consistent inter-lab results is critical for successful and safe national organ sharing. In order to understand the degree and nature of variability in FXM testing across Canada, national proficiency testing (PT) program was established. PT surveys are designed and organized by the National PT Committee which has representation from all 13 Canadian HLA Laboratories. 3 PT surveys organized since September Liwski et al ASHI 2012
55 Objectives To determine the extent of variability in FXM procedure/results across Canada. To identify factors that influence FXM results. Liwski et al ASHI 2012
56 PT Survey 1 design 13 labs asked to perform flow crossmatches: Two Donor Cells Three Test Sera FXM interpretation and raw data were collected and analyzed. Questionnaire, specific information regarding FXM assay. Liwski et al ASHI 2012

61 Conclusions, PT Survey 1 Significant variability in FXM results Differences in FXM protocols. Factors that contribute to variability +/-Pronase Cell numbers and sera/cell volume ratios Washing technique Liwski et al ASHI 2012
62 Questions Can we improve reproducibility of FXM results through standardization of FXM protocol/reagents? Which protocol to choose as a gold standard Liwski et al ASHI 2012
