1 year deferral
MSM
1 year deferral
HIV window period for NAT
9 days
HCV window period for NAT
8 days
HCV window period EIA
70 day window
MP-NAT and WNV/ZIKA
low viral titers can be missed with mini-pooled testing, each sample must be tested individually so positive test is not missed. ID-NAT
ID-NAT
individual NAT
postive with EIA or Chlia-first time
recorded as initially reactive- must be repeated, upon repeat positive-confirmed through other testing platform/different manufacturer if available
anti-HCV test positive first time
confirmatory testing is HCV NAT or 2nd manufacturers EIA/ChLIA assay
HIV-1 antibody positive first time
confirmatory testing is Western blot or immunofluorescence assay
HIV-2 positive
confirmatory testing additional anti-HIV-2 supplemental assay required
T. cruzii positve antibody test
confirmatory test done by recombinant antigen based immunoblot assay.
Anti-Hbc positive test first time
deferall not necessary 2 independent tests are positve- then permanent deferral, some donor centers make deferral after 1st positive, this is not required.
When EIA test is positive
must repeat in duplicate if both duplicates are negative- considered negative, if either of these is positive this is considered a positive for this unit, unit discarded, donor indefintely deferred.
How many infectious disease are mandatory for testing? what are they?
- HIV, HCV, HBV, HTLV, WNV, ZIKA, T. cruzii, syphilis
How many of the 8 mandatory tests have an EIA/Chlia test? Which ones?
- anti-HIV 1/2, HBsag, anti-HBc, anti-HCV, HTLV 1/12, T. cruzii antibody
confirmatory testing of T. cruzii, positive
antibody positive needs to be confirmed by recombinant antigen-based immunoblot assay.
most common viral transmission agent via transfusion
HBV
