Standards for Blood Banks and
Transfusion Services,
25th edition
Eective Date: May 1, 2008
The 25th edition of
Standards for Blood Banks
and Transfusion Services
details the latest standards
of practice in blood banking
and transfusion medicine.
As in the past, a quality
management system is the
framework of the standards,
with each of the 10 chapter headings representing one of the 10 Quality
System Essentials.
Signifcant changes:
Requirement for implementation of ISBT 128.
Requirement for use of diversion pouches for collection of platelets.
Requirement for West Nile virus RNA testing, per seasonal criteria.
Revised record retention periods.
Revised requirements for allogeneic donor qualifcation.
In 1957, AABB published the rst edition of Standards for Blood Banks
and Transfusion Services. The Standards were instituted in 1958 and
AABBs Accreditation Program came into existence. More than 50 years
and 25 editions later, AABB continues to be a leader in standard setting
and accreditation. AABBs Standards and Accreditation Programs have
evolved over time but are still supported by the work of volunteers and
continue to strive for improvement in the quality and safety of blood
collection, processing, storage and transfusion activities.

Edited by
Sally V. Rudmann, PhD
Solving serologic problems and teaching others
how to solve these problems can present
a challenge to even the most experienced
technologists. Those so-called expert
immunohematologic problem-solvers may
never have had the opportunity to step back and
evaluate how they approach a problem and the
steps they take to resolve it. The frst chapter
reviews the problem-solving process, including
in what manner an individual approaches
any problem. In the remaining chapters, the
problem-solving model is applied to many types
of serologic problems and is emphasized through
case studies.
Highlights:
Resolution of ABO and Rh typing
discrepancies.
Evaluation of positive direct
antiglobulin tests.
Antibody identifcation.
Monoclonal reagents.
Application of patient clinical
information to solve a problem.

The Transfusion Committee:
Putting Patient Safety First
Edited by Sunita Saxena, MD,
and Ira A. Shulman, MD
Although the establishment of hospital
committees to review blood usage is not a new
concept, it has become increasingly important
for transfusion committees to assume a far
greater role in blood management. Evolving
regulations for blood utilization monitoring and
an increased emphasis on patient safety make
in-house transfusion committees essential.
This publication provides updated information
on the committees composition, function
and implementation and will be useful both
for facilities with established transfusion
committees and for those seeking to create
one. Several helpful forms are included on the
accompanying CD-ROM for downloading and
customizing by individual facilities.
Topics:
Justifcation for a dedicated transfusion
committee.
Committee organization and function.
The impact of accrediting organizations.
Relationships with blood centers.
Managing conficts of interest within the
committee.
Quality tools for the transfusion committee.

Guidelines for the
Laboratory Evaluation
of Transfusion Reactions
Committee by Robertson Davenport, MD
While infectious transfusion complications
are often the focus of patients, physicians,
blood transfusion professionals and regulatory
agencies, nonviral and immunologically based
complications are the most prevalent risks
for a transfusion recipient. The diagnosis and
evaluation of any transfusion reaction is a matter of clinical judgment by
a physician trained in the adverse efects of transfusion. Negative testing
results should not be interpreted as defnitely excluding a transfusion reaction
if there is a strong clinical suspicion that the patients symptoms are related
to blood transfusion. The laboratory evaluation of suspected transfusion
reactions is critical not only to the health and well being of the patient, but
also to the process of improvement through corrective and preventive actions.

blood and blood components, causing the
residual risk of transfusion-transmitted disease
to be predominantly bacterial or parasitic in
nature. This state-of-the-art reference is intended to further help health-

of blood. Chapters are composed by recognized leaders in their felds
and cover bacteria, syphilis, malaria, Chagas disease and other parasitic

reduction. Emphasis is also placed on avoidance and detection of bacterial
contamination, and the implementation and cost-efectiveness of strategies
to reduce and limit its occurrence.

Strategies for Centralized
Blood Services
Edited by Marcus B. Simpson, MD
The value of centralized transfusion
services has been demonstrated by their
increased ef ciency, improved resource
management, cost reduction and
enhanced quality. This volume examines
how such ef ciency is achieved with up-
to-date and in-depth discussions of both
US and non-US networks: Puget Sound
Blood Center in Seattle, the Institute for
Transfusion Medicine in Pittsburgh, Florida Blood Services at Tampa Bay, and
the Hemominas Foundation in Brazil. Because areas with diferent needs
require diferent designs, the variation among these systems is instructive.
The critical issues for success in centralized networks are discussed in the
context of these systems for example, geography, logistics, competitive
viability and fnancial concerns. Separate chapters focus on informatics,
legal, regulatory and quality considerations, as well as the changing value
propositions for centralized networks today. The book serves as the felds
primary resource on this distinctive delivery model.

Guidelines for Pneumatic
Tube Delivery Systems:
Validation and Use to
Transport Blood Components
Committee by Monique Mohammed, MS, MT(ASCP)
SBB; Roger Richard, MS, MT(AMT); and Lynne Uhl, MD
Many hospitals and transfusion services are
now using pneumatic tube delivery systems
as a means of delivering blood products
faster and more ef ciently. To ensure product safety and the maintenance
of quality, system validation is key. The goal of this Guideline is to provide
direction when considering pneumatic tube technology for blood component
distribution. For facilities currently using this technology, this serves as a
comparison between legacy methods and those addressed by the current
validation. For institutions using legacy pneumatic tube systems, this
document can help direct procedures needed to maintain long-term quality
assurance goals.

Prepared and updated by members of the
AABB Interorganizational Task Force on Domestic Disasters and Acts of
Terrorism, this handbook assists community blood centers, hospital blood
banks and transfusion services in preparing for and responding to domestic
disasters and national acts of terrorism that afect the blood supply.
The Handbook contains two major areas of focus:
Preparation strategies to implement before an event.
Activation procedures once an event has occurred.
Included as an addition to the Handbook is the Disaster Operations
Handbook Hospital Supplement prepared especially for transfusion services
and for hospitals that do not collect allogeneic blood. The supplement will
help facilities prepare for their role in providing blood for transfusion in the
event of a disaster. Instructions for working with local blood centers to assess
the efects of a disaster on the local blood supply are also included.

Guidelines for Donor
Hemoglobin Determination
Developed for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee
by Ritchard G. Cable, MD, and Julie L. Houseworth, MD
Anemia in prospective blood donors may indicate an underlying disease, may
result in an inefective blood product, and may cause harm to the recipient.
Thus, the measurement of donor hemoglobin as a means of determining
donor eligibility is of paramount importance. This Guideline identifes
several of the methods currently in use for determining hemoglobin levels.
The advantages, disadvantages, technical aspects and quality assurance
considerations of each method are described, so that collection personnel can
choose a particular method that ensures protection of the donor and a safe
and efective product for the recipient.
