DESCRIPTION
Most organ donors are also tissue donors. Requirements for testing for transmissible diseases are very different between organ and tissue donors which presents potentials for delays, discrepant replicate test results and communication failures. This teleconference will present the distinct clinical and regulatory requirements for donor testing for organ and tissue donors and the frequently encountered complications caused by the differences.
