Abstract

Many steps are required to ensure safe and efficacious autologous and allogeneic human tissue transplants. These steps start with appropriate donor screening and testing, proceed through tissue recovery, processing, packaging/labeling, storage, distribution, and implantation. Tissue tracking through this sequence is critical to ensure the ability to respond appropriately to tissue recalls and adverse events. The entities that perform the various steps typically include an organization that recovers tissue from the donor, a tissue bank that processes the tissue, and a tissue service that manages the steps that take place at the implanting facility. This chapter provides a review of important concepts and regulations related to this process, with a focus on elements that are important for hospital-based tissue services.
