Record Retention for Shipping Documents

Recommended Posts

We get our blood products from several suppliers. I swear in years past I've seen in the AABB standards that we must keep these paper shipping documents (the attestation that says the units were packed appropriately at XXXX time and date, etc) for a certain amount of time. My previous employer only kept these for 1 year. My current employer has been keeping these for 10 years. I would love to not have all these paper documents taking up valuable storage space any longer! 

I cannot find in the 33rd standards these specific documents listed in the 6.2A table. I'm wondering if it got removed entirely? I see standard 4.3 stating that all products must be received, inspected and tested as appropriate, and this is all recorded in our computer system of course, and kept the requisite 10 years. 

Does anyone know, or how long do you keep these for?
