Product catalog summary
Introduction
MDmulticard® is an innovative laboratory tool developed by Grifols for rapid blood typing. It allows for the determination of a patient's ABO Group, Rh (D), Rh phenotype, and K typing in just five minutes using a single drop of blood. This tool is particularly useful in emergency situations where quick and accurate blood typing is critical.

Specifications
The MDmulticard® utilizes lateral flow technology, which is both sensitive and specific, comparable to Column Agglutination Technology. It provides reliable results that are easy to interpret and stable for up to 72 hours after testing. The card includes internal controls to ensure test integrity without additional user intervention.

Procedure
The testing process is straightforward and does not require expert knowledge in immunohematology or specialized equipment. The procedure involves four simple steps: preparing a red blood cell suspension, dispensing the suspension onto the card, adding a diluent, and reading the results after five minutes.

Advantages
MDmulticard® is ideal for emergency situations due to its speed, reliability, and ease of use. It is cost-effective, requiring minimal preparation and no waste of reagents. The card provides information on 10 parameters in a single assay, aiding in the prevention of alloimmunization in critical patients.

Applications
This tool is beneficial for confirming weak phenotypes, typing patients with a positive Direct Antiglobulin Test, identifying double populations, and typing newborns with low sample volumes. It is a valuable complement to routine techniques in complex cases.

Product Variants
The MDmulticard® system offers various models to suit different blood typing protocols, including 10-parameter cards and cards for confirmatory and double determination of Rh phenotype and K.

Compliance
The MDmulticard® system complies with the Directive 98/79/EC of the European Parliament on in vitro diagnostic medical devices and holds CE Mark Certification.

Exemple of a negative result (D): ABSENCE OF RED BAND Exemple of a positive result (c): DISTINCT RED BAND Lateral flow technology is as sensitive and specific as Column Agglutination Technology, and no further testing is required. Unlike conventional tube methods, the MDmulticard® involves little user intervention, so the possibility of error during processing or interpretation of results is greatly reduced. The card includes internal controls (val and ctl) that confirm the test integrity. These controls run automatically and no additional efforts are needed. Positive Val spot (valid result)...
