I am getting al lot of recalls. When a blood center notifies the hospital that a donor test reactive for HIV or HCV, do they perform a lookback on all donor blood products dating back 1 or 10 years? If so do they recall all blood products that are expired or just the in-dated products? If the donor confirm positive do you they notify the hospital about expired and / or in-dated products?

Are apheresis platelet donors who have tested positive for HLA -specific antibodies are now permitted to donate Apheresis Platelets in Platelet Additive Solution only?

1.I believe you would have to get a variance to collect concurrent plasma. 21 CFR 640.65: Allow an infrequent plasmapheresis collection (every 28 days or less frequently) . Donors may donate without a physical examination or plasma or protein tests.

Hi Safetrace User, Is anyone willing to share their duplicate donor merger procedure. Thank you!
