Revised Recommendations Regarding Invalidation of Test Results of Licensed and 510(k) Cleared Bloodborne Pathogen Assays Used to Test Donors
- 0 downloads
- Version 1.0.0
Docket Number: 99D-2213 Issued by: Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research To reduce infectious disease transmission by blood and blood products, donor samples from blood donations are tested for markers of pathogenic bloodborne infections, including antibodies, antigens, and nucleic acids that may indicate the presence of etiologic agents such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), syphilis, and others. The validity of screening and supplemental (confirmatory) test assay results is determined by the performance of test kit manufacturer supplied reagents labeled as Acontrols@, used in accordance with the test kit instructions. -

“Computer Crossmatch” (Computerized Analysis of the Compatibility between the Donor’s Cell Type and the Recipient’s Serum or Plasma Type)
- 1 download
- Version 1.0.0
Docket Number: FDA-2007-D-0019 Issued by: Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research "Computer crossmatch" is a process used to ensure that blood released for transfusion is compatible with the intended recipient.1 We, FDA, are issuing this guidance to assist you, blood establishments that perform compatibility testing using a computer crossmatch system to perform computerized matching of blood, consistent with current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements in 21 CFR Parts 210, 211 and 606. Blood establishments must have standard operating procedures (SOPs) "to demonstrate incompatibility between the donor’s cell type and the recipient’s serum or plasma type" under the compatibility testing requirements in 21 CFR 606.151(c). This guidance describes practices that we believe satisfy the requirements in 21 CFR 606.151(c) to help ensure detection of an incompatible crossmatch when using a computerized system for matching a donor’s cell type with a recipient’s serum or plasma type. -

Use of Sterile Connecting Devices in Blood Bank Practices
- 3 downloads
- Version 1.0.0
Docket Number: FDA-2022-D-0486 Issued by: Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Sterile connecting devices produce sterile welds between two pieces of compatible tubing. This procedure permits sterile connection of a variety of containers and tube diameters. This guidance describes recommended practices and procedures for use of these devices. This guidance does not address the data or information that a manufacturer of a sterile connecting device must submit to FDA in order to obtain approval or clearance for marketing. It is also important to note that the use of an approved or cleared sterile connecting device for purposes not authorized in the labeling may cause the device to be considered adulterated and misbranded under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. -
Efficacy Studies to Support Marketing of Fibrin Sealant Products Manufactured for Commercial Use
- 0 downloads
- Version 1.0.0
Docket Number: 97D-0528 Issued by: Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research This document pertains to commercially-produced fibrin sealants composed of purified, virus-inactivated/removed human fibrinogen and human or bovine thrombin, with or without added components such as virus-inactivated/removed human factor XIII and/or aprotinin. A number of such products are currently available in Europe and Canada as hemostasis agents. Although manufacturers and clinicians in the United States have been actively engaged in the development and testing of fibrin sealants, only one fibrin sealant product has been licensed in this country. This document outlines the agency's current position with regard to clinical data used to support licensure of safe and effective commercially-produced fibrin sealants in the United States. -

Additional Recommendations for Testing Whole Blood, Blood Components, Source Plasma and Source Leukocytes for Antibody to Hepatitis C Virus Encoded Antigen (Anti-HCV)
- 0 downloads
- Version 1.0.0
Docket Number: FDA-2022-D-0498 Issued by: Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research On April 23, 1992, August 5, 1993, and August 19, 1993, FDA issued memoranda to all registered blood and plasma establishments, which provided recommendations for testing for antibody to Hepatitis C Virus Encoded Antigen (anti-HCV). This memorandum supplements those previous memoranda by transmitting additional recommendations for testing for antibody to anti-HCV in blood establishments. (See attached recommendations.) In a public meeting of the Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) on March 21, 1996, after review and discussion of the relevant information available, concern was expressed that the use of a supplemental test for anti-HCV that uses fewer antigens than the screening test for anti-HCV may cause uncertainties. In particular, the Committee discussed its concern that the use of the Chiron RIBA HCV 2.0 Immunoblot Assay (SIA) as a supplemental test for anti-HCV should not be used for donor re-entry if the Ortho™ HCV Version 3.0 ELISA Test System was used as a screening test. FDA has considered the BPAC concerns and sets forth in the attached recommendations donor re-entry and counseling procedures that should be used in this situation. -
