Verification typing (CT) date of the cord blood unit. Definition: CT (Confirmatory Typing) is repeat DNA typing after registration. For the CT to be completed, loci A, B, and DRB1 must all be retested and confirmed consistent with registration typing. The CT completion date is the latest date when A, B, and DRB1 are all complete. If the loci are not all tested at the same time, this date will be the date the last locus was tested. (Unit verification typing date) CB_CT_COMPLETE_DATE Optional D8

Maternal serum available for CBU? (Maternal serum available) MAT_SER_AVA Optional A1

The alternative match list result (ALM_RES) returns a set of donors that is not kept up-to-date by the repeat search process. Therefore it should be sent blocked - stressing the contrast to DONOR_CB messages which form a continuous process. If the ALM_RES is empty, a NO_RES message has to be sent instead:

NO_RES:
...
D_ID = ’<hub code> followed by any valid characters’,
REQ_TYPE = ’ALM’,
REASON = ’OT’,
...

Example:
NO_RES:
...
D_ID = ’DE-unspecific’,
REQ_TYPE = ’ALM’,
REASON = ’OT’,
...
