1 Automation and standardisation of NIPD Tobias J. Legler Dept. of Transfusion Medicine, University Medical Center Göttingen Certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2000 SAFE FINAL GENERAL ASSEMBLYin TARRAGONA 29 th /30 th May 2008

2 SAFE: RHD NIPD Standardisation Questions 1. Which reference material of a higher order can we use to determine the analytical sensitivity of RHD NIPD? 2. Is there a reference measurement procedure? 3. Which is the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the most promising (automated) technology platforms compared with the current gold standard serology? 4. How can we test repeatability, consistency and uniformity in an external Quality Assurance scheme? 5. Which internal control can we use for RHD NIPD screening?

3 RhD/SRY reference material of higher order Evelyn Tait Standards, Standardisation and Current Limitations of NIPD

8 Quality Assurance scheme The International Blood Group Reference Laboratory (IBGRL, SAFE partner no. 26)* in Bristol, UK, ( organizes RHD NIPD Workshops on behalf of the International Society for Blood Transfusion (ISPD) and the International Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) every two years since 2004 (2006, 2008). Voluntary testing for other bloodgroups (RhC/c, Kell) is possible.

9 SAFE: RHD NIPD Standardisation workflow 1. A reference measurement procedure was determined 2. The reference protocol was adapted in collaborative multicenter experiments and discussion workshops 3. A reference material of a higher order for the determination of the analytical sensitivity was agreed in a workshop 4. Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were determined for the most promising technology platforms in large-scale singlecentre studies 5. A Quality Assurance scheme for gauging levels of repeatability, consistency and uniformity was established 6. Agreement was obtained in a discussion workshop that the internal control is not mandatory for RHD NIPD screening.

13 Cost-effectiveness (WP6) data kindly provided by A. Haverkamp Costs for RHD NIPD in small scale Costs for RHD NIPD in large scale Break-even Price NIPD vs. General antenatal anti-d RhD related costs now in Germany per pregancy RhD related costs with NIPD

14 Conclusions The consensus process was facilitated by travel grants, wet workshop grants, confidential agreements, and biobanking grants from the European Commission. SAFE stimulated a lot of collaborative actions, research and spreading of excellence Ongoing of funding is appreciated
