Blood bank technologist, Andrea, working the night shift, has to perform a type and screen on a sample from an emergency patient. She realizes the red cell reagents expired at midnight. The new lot of red cell reagents have not been opened, and daily quality control of reagents is normally performed in her lab at 7 AM by the day shift tech. May Andrea use the new reagents knowing they will be tested for quality later that morning? What should Andrea do?
