Quality & Safety of the blood supply

  • Collection and Testing Procedures

  • Taking a careful and current medical history from each donor

  • Performing a mini physical examination on each donor

  • Performing various laboratory tests on donated blood to detect potentially infectious agents 

  • State-of-the-art on-site testing

A positive result in any of these infectious disease tests may result in that unit being discarded:

  • RBC Ab (Red Blood Cell Antibody)

  • Syphilis

  • HBsAg (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen)
    HBcAb (Hepatitis B Core Antibody)

  • HCV Ab (Hepatitis C Virus Antibody)
    HIV-1/2 ANTIBODY (Human Immunodeficiency Type 1 and Type 2 Virus Antibody).

 Bacterial Testing of Platelets Bacterial Detection is a quality control test done on units of platelets to check for the presence of bacteria. Platelets are especially susceptible to growth of bacteria because, unlike other blood products that are stored refrigerated or frozen, they are stored near room temperature.
