Acquisition - Answer -The point after delivery which the tissue is under 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 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

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. Justifications of tolerance limits shall be
documented by the tissue bank with consideration for the risk associated with the
specific activity scheduled.
Anonymous donor - Answer -A reproductive donor of tissue whose identity is unknown
to the recipient.
Aortoilliac graft - Answer -The distal segment of the abdominal aorta including the
bifurcation and proximal segments of both the left and right common iliac arteries.
Arterial graft - Answer -A segment of peripheral artery that is recovered, processed and
