We're currently tracking Baxter FloSeal in the blood/tissue bank. FloSeal is considered a blood derivative by the FDA. We want to transfer oversight of this product to the OR. The standards interpretation group from TJC indicated that compliance surveys are based on the department which is managing them and if OR was managing this product they would need to follow: TJC Laboratory standard QSA.05.01.01 and AABB standards 5.1.6 and 6.2.3. We're not TJC accredited, so I was hoping someone would be willing to share a copy of that particular standard. Thanks!

We are just completing a week of hosting The Joint Commission and I have a question. The inspector was not pleased that our two hospitals were issuing donor units for transfusion without placing the donor units in individual plastic zip lock bags and I understand that this will be a formal finding and that they are recommending a risk assessment. I know of no requlatory requirement do to issue in a plastic bag. I have seen this practice in some facilities, but know of nothing that would drive this. We do realize that there is a concern if the unit were to be dropped and it burst. Thoughts please? Thanks in advance!
