OPTN Contractor
UNOS
OPO must perform these 4 things & report the resulting information to all receiving OPOs or transplant hospitals:
- Attempt to obtain the deceased donor’s medical and behavioral history from one or more individuals familiar with the donor ( UDRAI )
- Review the deceased donor’s medical record.
- Complete a physical examination of the deceased donor, including the donor’s vital signs.
- Document in the deceased donor medical record if any of this information is not available and the reason it is not available.
UDRAI for each potential deceased donor must include all of the following 3 things
- Any testing used to identify the presence of transmissible diseases or malignancies or any other known condition that may be transmitted by the deceased donor organ and may reasonably impact the recipient.
- Whether the potential deceased donor has factors associated with an increased risk for disease transmission, including blood-borne pathogens.
- Whether the potential deceased donor has a history of prior exposure or treatment with nonrecombinant Human Pituitary Derived Growth Hormone (HPDGH). If so, the potential deceased donor has an increased risk of prion disease and the host OPO must communicate this information to all transplant programs receiving organs from the donor.
PHS Increased Risk
If the deceased donor meets the criteria for increased risk for HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C transmission set forth in the current U.S. Public Health Services (PHS) Guideline or the host OPO cannot obtain the information necessary to make this determination, the host OPO must identify the donor as having increased risk for transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C and communicate this information to all transplant programs receiving organs from the deceased donor.
What blood samples for deceased donor serological screening should be used?
OPOs must use qualified (non-hemodiluted) blood samples. If a qualified sample is not available for testing, a hemodiluted sample may be used for deceased donor screening tests.
What must you do if you use hemodiluted/ non qualified blood samples for serological screening?
PHS Increased Risk
OPO must treat the deceased donor as presenting an increased risk for disease transmission
Hemodilution proof:
OPO must document in the deceased donor medical record a complete history of-
All blood products and intravenous fluid transfusions the deceased donor received since admission to the donor hospital.
OPO must assess all potential deceased donor blood samples obtained for serological screening tests using what method?
Hemodilution using a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved hemodilution calculation.
Deceased Donor Blood Type Determination Requirements(4)
- Be drawn on two separate occasions (minimum 5min apart)
- Have different collection times
- Be submitted as separate samples
- Have results indicating the same blood type
What ABO requires subtyping?
A
host OPO must document either that subtyping was completed or the reason it could not be completed.
What ABO is subtyping optional?
AB
Requirements for subtyping (4)
-
1. Be tested on PRE PRBC transfusion samples*
2. Be drawn on two separate occasions
3. Have different collection times
4. Be submitted as separate samples
What must you do if you receive conflicting subtype results?
Subtype results must NOT BE REPORTED to UNOS
Allocate based off primary blood type.
The deceased donor is not eligible for a match run until the host OPO completes ABO verification and reporting as follows:
-Two different qualified health care professionals, must each make an independent report of the donor’s blood type as well as subtype (if applicable) to UNOS.
- Both qualified health care professionals must use all blood type and subtype determination source documents to verify they:
a. Contain blood type and subtype results for the donor
b. Indicate the SAME blood type and subtype on the two test results
c. Match the result reported to UNOS
