We currently do skin grafts with AlloSource. We have a surgeon that wants to bank the left over skin. According to the package insert the skin is only good for 24 hours once thawed. However, he says at the other hospital he does surgery's for they allow him to keep them 7-10 days in a special solution. My question is what is the liability of not following package insert? Any comment will help

The Joint commission standard TS.03.01.01 states "the organization follows the tissue suppliers' or manufactuers' written directions for transporting, handling, storing, and using tissue"

If he can get written directions to do that from the supplier or manufactuer then it is ok, otherwise it is not acceptable according to The Joint Commission.
