The information collection
requirements help prevent the transmission of communicable diseases
through human tissue transplantation by requiring that written SOPs
be prepared and followed for the following: (1) infectious disease
testing; (2) determining the medical history of the donor; (3)
designating and identifying quarantined tissue; and (4) preventing
infectious disease contamination or cross-contamination of tissue
during processing. The regulations require maintenance of records
of all significant steps in the infectious disease testing, and
screening, and require that these records be made available for FDA
inspection. Adequate donor screening and testing must be recorded
so that the suitability of the tissue can be determined. If FDA is
unable to ascertain how a tissue donor was screened or tested, or
if the tissue was distributed in violation of the regulations, then
recall, retention, and/or destruction orders may be issued by FDA
in accordance with codified administrative procedures.
