When was the AATB founded? - CORRECT ANSWER The American Association
of Tissue Banks (AATB) was founded in 1976 as a voluntary, scientific, and educational

procedures that would increase donation and provide safe, transplantable tissues of
uniform high quality in quantities sufficient to meet national needs.
What does AATB stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER American Association of
Tissue Banks
When were the first AATB guidelines published - CORRECT ANSWER A book of
"Proceedings" from the first annual meeting was published in 1978 that offered a detailed
overview of current tissue banking practices and described the ethics of donation and
transplantation.
When was the first edition of AATB's Standards for Tissue Banking published? -
CORRECT ANSWER 1984
When was the voluntary accreditation program for tissue banks first launched? -

What is the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act? - CORRECT ANSWER The Uniform
Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA or the Act) was passed in the US in 1968 and has since
been revised in 1987 and in 2006. The Act sets a regulatory framework for the donation
of organs, tissues, and other human body parts in the US. The UAGA helps regulate body
donations to science, medicine, and education.
What is the mission of the AATB? - CORRECT ANSWER A mission of the AATB
is to establish and promulgate standards to provide tissue banks with performance
requirements intended to prevent disease transmission and support quality measures that
assist clinical performance of transplanted tissue. Furthermore, the AATB fosters
education and research, and promotes quality and safety in cell and tissue banking and
transplantation.
These Standards establish performance requirements for - CORRECT ANSWER
informed consent or authorization, donor eligibility assessment through donor screening
and testing, as well as for the recovery, processing, storage, packaging, labeling, and
distribution of transplantable human tissue
(A) - CORRECT ANSWER autologous tissue
(BT) - CORRECT ANSWER birth tissue
(C) - CORRECT ANSWER cardiac tissue
(CT) - CORRECT ANSWER cellular tissue

What 3 things are required to request a variance to the standards? - CORRECT
ANSWER 1) A request for variance or modification including the particular standard
number(s) that applies to the request;
2) Justification of the alternative procedure(s), policy or process that assure(s)
equivalency to the intent of Standards;
3) Supporting information such as worksheets, records, data, or other information (e.g.,
validation of the protocol to be used in the proposed variance, including the scientific
data and quality assurance steps).
ACCIDENT - CORRECT ANSWER Any occurrence, not associated with a
deviation from standard operating procedures (SOPs), standards, or applicable laws and
regulations, during donor screening or testing, or tissue recovery, collection or

acquisition, processing, quarantining, labeling, storage, distribution, or dispensing that
may affect the performance, biocompatibility, or freedom from transmissible pathogens
of the tissue or the ability to trace tissue to the donor.
ACQUISITION (BT) - CORRECT ANSWER The point after delivery at which
tissue is under the control of the tissue bank.
ADEQUATE INFORMATION - CORRECT ANSWER - Information sufficient for
the donor, the authorizing person or the living donor to make a voluntary decision
regarding the gift of tissues for transplantation, therapy, research and/or education. The
parameters of what constitutes adequate information must include ''Core Elements''
contained in D2.400 or D3.400, and such additional information as the donor, authorizing
person, or living donor requests or which the donation coordinator reasonably believes
the donor, authorizing person or living donor should know. When the donor is
authorizing the gift of tissue, publicly available information concerning the scope and use
of the gift shall be deemed adequate information.
ADVERSE OUTCOME - CORRECT ANSWER An undesirable effect or untoward
complication in a recipient consequent to or reasonably related to tissue transplantation.
ALLOGENEIC - CORRECT ANSWER Used as an adjective to modify donation,
tissue, donor or recipient when transplantation is intended for a genetically different
person.
