Questions and Answers | A+ Score
Assured
ACCIDENT - 🧠 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) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The point after delivery at which
tissue is under the control of the tissue bank.
,ADEQUATE INFORMATION - 🧠 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 H7.710 or H8.300, 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 - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An undesirable effect or untoward
complication in a recipient consequent to or reasonably related to tissue
transplantation.
ALLOGENEIC - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Used as an adjective to modify donation,
tissue, donor or recipient when transplantation is intended for a genetically
different person.
ALLOGRAFT - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Tissue intended for transplantation into a
genetically different person.
,ANNUAL - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A frequency of activity defined by each tissue
bank as 12 months including reasonable tolerance limits (up to 3 months).
Justification for the tolerance limits shall be documented by the tissue bank
with consideration for the risk associated with the specific activity
scheduled.
ANONYMOUS DONOR (R) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A reproductive donor of
tissue whose identity is unknown to the recipient (R).
AORTOILIAC GRAFT (C) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The distal segment of the
abdominal aorta including the bifurcation and proximal segments of both
the left and right common iliac arteries.
APPROPRIATE MEASURES (R) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Using available
resources to accomplish screening or testing. May be employed If the
donor of reproductive tissue cannot be tested due to death or inability to be
located.
ARTERIAL GRAFT (V) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A segment of peripheral artery
that is recovered, processed and preserved.
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (R) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The placement of
semen within the reproductive tract of a recipient (R).

, ASEPTIC PROCESSING - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The processing of tissue using
aseptic techniques where tissue, containers and/or devices are handled in
a controlled environment in which the air supply, materials, equipment and
personnel are regulated to prevent microbial contamination of tissue.
ASEPTIC RECOVERY - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The recovery of tissue using
methods that restrict or minimize contamination with microorganisms from
the donor, environment, recovery personnel, and/or equipment.
ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROCEDURE (R) - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔A medical procedure intended to result in conception,
including, but not limited to, therapeutic insemination, in-vitro fertilization
(including intracytoplasmic sperm injection), and gamete intrafallopian
transfer.
ASYSTOLE - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The reference time for cardiac death. A
documented pronounced time of death is used as asystole when life-saving
procedures have been attempted and there were signs of, or
documentation of, recent life (e.g., witnessed event, agonal respirations,
pulseless electrical activity). If a death was not witnessed, asystole must be
determined by the last time known alive. Asystole will be 'cross clamp time'
if the tissue donor was also a solid organ donor.
