Two units of packed red (blood) cells were cross-matched...
Two units of packed red (blood) cells (abbr. PRBC) were cross-matched and collected/called off/retrieved...(make your choice).
Red cell concentrate is also possible, but less frequent (at least in my perception).

German term (edited):
Zwei EK werden gekreuzt
two red cell concentrates were cross-matched
Ein Erythrozyten-Konzentrat (EK) ist eine aus roten Blutzellen (Erythrozyten) bestehende „Blutkonserve“. Wenn umgangssprachlich von „Bluttransfusion“ gesprochen wird, sind meist Erythrozytenkonzentrate gemeint.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrozyten-Konzentrat
Erythrozytenkonzentrat (EK)
Dieses enthält die Erythrozyten (roten Blutkörperchen) einer einzelnen Vollblutspende bzw. einer Apheresespende aufgeschwemmt in additiver Lösung.

Yes, Siegfried, 'ordered' seems like a better fit than 'obtained'. 'Packed cells' is also good. Thanks a lot.

Two erythrocyte concentrates are crossmatched and datamatched.
"Von der Blutbank werden sofort bis 4 Erythrozytenkonzentrate der Blutgruppe 0 Rh negativ (D negativ), ungekreuzt (d.h. ohne Vorliegen der Ergebnisse der Blutgruppenbestimmung und der Verträglichkeitsprobe) bereitgestellt."
EK bedeutet Erythrozytenkonzentrate. (siehe Link)
"Im Labor der Blutbank wird nach Erhalt der Patientenblutprobe die Blutgruppe bestimmt, der Antikörpersuchtest sowie die Kreuzprobe mit den notfallmäßig ausgegebenen Erythrozytenkonzentraten durchgeführt. Parallel können, falls angefordert, weitere EK für diesen Patienten gekreuzt werden."
Prior to transfusion, a crossmatch is performed as a final check for incompatibility. (Link 2)

2 units of PRC/PRBC are cross-matched and released on request
EK = Erythrozytenkonzentrat = packed red cells (PRC)/packed red blood cells (PRBC)
kreuzen = cross-match
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/medical_general/...
Transfuse two units of packed red blood cells
immediately. Use cross matched blood if
available; otherwise use type specific or O
negative packed red blood cells. Call the blood
bank with the patient’s name, medical record
number and DOB to request the two units.
Bring a “request for release of blood” form for
cross matched blood.
http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:DwrrIxpHJccJ:www.h...
A median of 2 units of packed red cells was cross-matched per patient. Twenty-three patients (21.7%) required a transfusion in the postoperative period. Fourteen of these patients required a second cross-match sample because their transfusion occurred more than 48 h after the original request.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1491372
Once a blood order was made, surgeons usually requested
preparation of at least 1 unit of packed red cells. The
blood bank followed the type and screen policy,
whereby units were not crossmatched until an actual
need for transfusion occurred.
