What does "AS" stand for? First I thought it could mean "abdominal sonography" but that doesn't make sense since there is a "transabdominal/transvaginal sonography" further up on the list already.

antibody screen
Antikörper-Suchtest scheint mir am wahrscheinlichsten zu sein. Ich habe eben in einem (deutschen) Mutterpass nachgesehen. Da sind ein Antikörper-Suchtest und zwei Antikörper-Suchtest-Kontrollen vorgesehen.
Blood Type and Rh Status and Antibody Screen
Blood tests will check your blood type, your Rh status, and an antibody screen. Your blood type needs to be checked so that a potential mix-up of bloods can be averted if there is a need for a transfusion. Rh negative women need to be identified in advance so that they can be considered as candidates for RhoGAM, an immunoglobulin that is given at 28 weeks of pregnancy and within 72 hours of delivery in order for the mother to keep from becoming Rh sensitized. Occasionally, RhoGAM is also given when there is a potential risk for fetal blood to mix with the mother's blood, such as in a car accident or in amniocentesis.
Why it's important (RhoGAM): Giving this medication prevents the mother's body from mounting an antibody response against an Rh positive baby in future pregnancies. An antibody screen detects antibodies, both Rh and less common types, that may occur in the fetus or newborn.
Why it's important (antibody screen): Antibodies have the potential for causing blood disease in the fetus and newborn.

Der Antikörper-Suchtest
Bei diesem Test wird untersucht, ob sich im mütterlichen Blut Antikörper gegen Blutgruppen-Antigene gebildet haben, die dem Ungeborenen schaden könnten. Ein negativer Antikörper-Suchtest ist der Normalfall. Dieser Suchtest wird im Laufe der Schwangerschaft mindestens ein weiteres Mal durchgeführt - sollte der Titer positiv sein ggf. auch noch häufiger. Lassen sich bei Rh-negativen Müttern - wie es natürlich erwünscht und erhofft ist - bis zur 28./30. Woche keine spezifischen Antikörper nachweisen, so wird eine Anti-D-Prophylaxe durchgeführt

: with MMUlr; in any case, you can go with antibody screen since it makes 100% sense, even if they meant sth else [ which is unlikely]. Nobody can blame you.
