I'm in the process of updating our lookback policies and I'm having trouble determining what infectious disease markers actually REQUIRE (per FDA regulations) a lookback.

So far, I have HIV, HCV and Zika.

What WNV, HTLV or HBV???

Does anyone know if these are REQUIRED look-backs??

Thanks

We did a lot of work developing the attached charts.  It does not include ZIKA, we are modifying it now for that.  This is a small excerpt from a long SOP.

Cliff, would you mind emailing me that chart?  I can't get it to open in the forum.  thanks!

 At our work when donors test positive for any other test other than HBC core there is some sort of look back required. If a donor has in date products to retrieve that piece is still performed but follow up investigation on the transfusion facility side is not required at our blood center for HepB core only. All other tests I assume do. There are  other exceptions and time frames depending on other tests like HTLV or WNV etc.
