◉ 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.
◉ 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.
◉ AUDIT. Answer: A documented review of procedures, records,
personnel functions, equipment, materials, facilities, and/or
suppliers to evaluate adherence to the SOPM, standards, applicable
laws and regulations.
◉ AUDIT TRAIL. Answer: A process that captures details such as
additions, deletions, or alterations of information in an electronic
record without obliterating the original record.
◉ An audit trail. Answer: facilitates the reconstruction of the course
of such details relating to the electronic record.
◉ AUTHORIZATION. Answer: Permission given after adequate
information concerning the donation, recovery and use of tissues is
conveyed.
◉ AUTHORIZING PERSON. Answer: Upon the death of the donor, the
person, other than the donor, authorized by law to make an
anatomical gift.
