Instructions
PRODUCT EXPIRATION / INJECTION For Administration: See the Banner Intranet Policies & Procedures under "WIS: RHo(D) Immunoglobulin Workup and Administration (Prevention of GAM Isoimmunization)." The expiration date of the product is noted on the vial. Postpartum Rh Immune Globulin should be given within 72 hours of the time of the delivery or miscarriage. The patient can still derive some benefit even after 72 hours. Special Blood Bank Identification process is not required for RHIG testing. However, specimens collected without the Blood Bank Identification process cannot be used for later crossmatch testing.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
RHIG Antenatal: RH Immune globulin should be given to an Rh Negative woman during pregnancy to prevent the development of the Rh antibody (Anti-D) by the mother while she is pregnant.
RHIG postpartum: RH Immune globulin should be given to an Rh Negative woman who delivers an Rh Positive infant or has a miscarriage/abortion of a fetus within 72 hours. This will prevent the development of the Rh antibody (Anti-D) by the mother. Blood Bank testing will determine the number of vials (dosage).
