The donor notification process is
intended to prevent further donations from donors who have been
deferred for positive test results for markers of communicable
disease agents as prescribed in Sec. 610.41 or for failing to
satisfy the donor suitability criteria under Section 640.3 or
640.63 prior to collection. Since autologous donors donate blood or
blood components for their own use per prescription by their
physician, reactive test results are sent to the referring
physician. Awareness of reactive test results will aid the
referring physician in the treatment and counseling of the
autologous donor.
