Our families
and our dear parents
whose inspiration, motivation, blessings and moral support continue to contribute
a great deal to our academic endeavors
&
Everybody striving to contribute to
the blood safety
Trang 7I am extremely happy to know that Dr GP Saluja and Dr GL Singal
have come up with their book “Standard Operating Procedures and
Regulatory Guidelines–Blood Banking” that incorporates the latest
updated procedural guidelines regarding the operation of blood banks This book covers all the aspects of blood transfusion including regulatory guidelines framed under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules, 1945
This book will serve both the student fraternity and the blood bank professionals and will go a long way in achieving the accuracy and proficiency in the various blood bank procedures
I am also confident that this book will broaden the horizon of all those working in blood banks and medical fraternity in understanding the legal issues pertaining to safe blood transfusion

Trang 9Blood transfusion plays an important role in the modern health system of both developing and developed nations across the globe These services are well-organized in the developed countries; while in vastly populated developing countries, these are yet to be brought at par with those available in the developed countries Blood transfusion is an essential component of health care that underpins the management and care of millions of patients each year in both emergency and routine situations Yet an unknown number of patients lose their lives unnecessarily every day because they do not have access to safe blood transfusion Therefore,
it is necessary to ensure the right quality of blood and its components for safe transfusions
Blood transfusion is a multi-step and multi-actor’s process and desired quality results can only be achieved by following standard operating procedures (SOPs) At every step, any lowering of quality would reflect adversely on the final product, particularly when the institutions/individuals do not have the proper knowledge about the requirements for grant/renewal of license to operate the blood banks, SOPs, quality and legal understanding of blood transfusions
I am confident that this book will broaden the horizon of all those working in blood banking, understanding the legal issues and providing safe blood transfusion to the needy patients
Trang 11It gives me immense pleasure to know that Dr GP Saluja and Dr GL Singal
have teamed up to write the book “Standard Operating Procedures and
Regulatory Guidelines–Blood Banking” for the blood bank professionals
in providing and using blood components to make sure that the right blood/blood components is given to the right patient at the right time This can only be achieved when procedures for prescribing, ordering, collecting, storing and administering blood components and clinical policies are based on the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules, 1945
as well as National Blood Policy
The Act sets legally-binding standards for quality and safety in collection, testing, processing, storage and distribution of blood/blood components for which Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are required to be followed for ensuring safe blood transfusion Besides, some of the legal judgments included in the book will help those associated with blood banking in understanding legal situation of the transfusions
I am sure that this book will be of immense benefit to one and all working in this field and help them in achieving their objective of providing adequate, safe, and quality blood/blood components

Trang 13This book “Standard Operating Procedures and Regulatory Guidelines–
Blood Banking” has been designed to provide blood bank technicians,
students undergoing various courses in medical technology, blood bank specialists and residents with a concise and thorough practical and simple procedural guide to all the procedures to check the quality and safety of the blood donated for transfusion
The first section of the book focuses on routine blood bank practices including donor selection, phlebotomy procedure, sample collection, component preparation, blood grouping—both routine and gel technology, screening for the transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs), compatibility testing, storage of blood/blood components, apheresis, labeling, issue and transport of blood units, transfusion of the right blood
to the right patient, quality control/assurance, equipment maintenance and bio-waste disposal
The second section deals with the regulatory guidelines including the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules, 1945, NACO guidelines for the safety of blood/blood components and procedural details as well
as various documents required for processing of application for grant of license under the said Act to operate the blood banks
Some of the judicial pronouncements related to the blood safety have also been included so as to create awareness amongst the blood bank fraternity regarding the various legal issues involved in blood transfusion
The book is a culmination of the tremendous efforts of the dedicated professionals because they care about the blood bank profession, and
it also aims at fostering improved patient care by providing the readers with a basic understanding of the various blood bank procedures and legal issues We express our gratitude to all those associated including

Procedures
Trang 26SCOPE AND APPLICATION
Standard operating procedures are essential documents for ensuring smooth, efficient and lawful functioning/operation of any blood bank These SOPs may be numerous in a particular blood bank defining their functions but there are some SOPs which remain common for all the blood banks, e.g SOP for collection of blood, grouping and cross-matching of blood and issuing procedures, etc, These may also include SOP for policies guiding the rational use of blood and blood components, time-frame for availability of whole blood and its components and instructions in case of established transfusion reaction SOPs are critical sub-elements of the quality system and are essential to ensure that every procedure is undertaken in a standardized way for generation
of consistent results Therefore individual blood bank must develop its own blood bank specific SOPs based on infrastructure available, test procedures to be followed and availability of reagents
RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of the Management/Medical Officer/Technical staff working in the blood bank to frame and follow the SOPs to yield the desired quality results
(SOPs)
Trang 274 Standard Operating Procedures and Regulatory Guidelines-Blood Banking
• Supervision of all the functions like donor selection, phlebotomy, grouping and cross-matching, TTI testing, storage, component preparation, labeling, etc
• Ensure timely indent of reagents, blood bags, gel cards, equipment and other items required in the blood bank
• Testing of blood units for HIV, HBsAg, HCV, VDRL and malarial parasites
Trang 28Standard Operating Procedure for Preparing, Revising and Using 5
• Recording and maintaining of temperature of different blood bank refrigerators
• Informing technical supervisor immediately in the event of breakdown of equipment or any discrepancy in results of tests
• Contact to other blood banks for supply of blood at the time of emergency
• Any other work assigned from time to time by the management or the medical officer in charge of blood bank
• Testing of blood bags for HIV, HBsAg, HCV, VDRL and malarial parasites

Prepared & Issued By Approved By
Each of the SOPs needs to be validated It includes setting up criteria for acceptance of results generated by SOPs, report of a workshop formulating a protocol, undertaking testing using SOPs, comparing the observed results with the predefined criteria and, if matched, declaring that the SOPs have been validated
USE OF SOPs
• Once prepared and approved for implementation, SOPs become the roadmaps for operationalizing the Blood Bank
• Every staff member must have access to all SOPs that affect actions and areas of responsibility
• SOP’s should be followed as approved and maintained by a particular blood bank and if any amendment is required, it has to
be documented and must be made by authorized persons only after following proper procedure
• Any deviation from the SOP must be documented and got approved from authorized person
• All SOPs including the outdated ones are to be retained in the blood bank for the period as per blood bank policy
• Their use is mandatory by all the staff members of the Blood Bank every time they perform any activity in the blood bank
• The licensing and accreditation procedures also demand compulsory use of SOPs
• The SOPs are also used for capacity building in the quality management of blood transfusion services in which emphasis is laid on ensuring consistency in performing various activities so that the safety and quality of blood is guaranteed
Trang 31SCOPE AND APPLICATION

(c) My blood will be tested for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Malarial parasite, HIV/AIDS and venereal diseases
in addition to any other screening tests required to ensure blood safety The medical and personal information and results of testing will be held by the Blood Bank in strict confidence and will not
be disclosed to anyone unless specifically authorized by me in writing or as required by the Govt authority or legal process.
I acknowledge that I have read and understood the information provided on this form about Blood Donation
I have truthfully, completely and accurately answered all the questions on this form.
I hereby voluntarily consent to donate my blood/blood components to be used as directed by the Blood Bank as per policy of the Govt for the blood safety.
General Physical Examination
Trang 37SCOPE AND APPLICATION
This SOP describes performance of physical examination of the donor for confirming fulfillment of the criteria which ensure safety of the donor
as well as of the recipient
• Check and record height and weight of the donor
• Record BP, pulse and temperature of the donor
• Estimate and record the hemoglobin of the donor
Donors are accepted/rejected/deferred on the basis of findings
in Donor Questionnaire and Informed Consent Form by the Medical Officer Record for the deferral donors is to be maintained separately
Donor Screening
Trang 38SCOPE AND APPLICATION
This SOP describes the method for estimation of hemoglobin of blood donors by copper sulfate solution before blood donation for assessing their suitability in order to ensure their safety as well as product quality.Copper sulfate solution is used for testing the hemoglobin con centration of blood donors before blood donation
Trang 3916 Standard Operating Procedures and Regulatory Guidelines-Blood BankingPROCEDURE
i Dissolve 170 gms crystalline CuSO4.5H2O in 1000 ml distilled water
ii Dilute 51 ml of stock solution with distilled water to make it
100 ml Label it as working solution
iii Check and adjust specific gravity of the working solution using urinometer to 1.053 by adding stock solution or distilled water Copper sulfate solution is checked to ensure that a drop of blood sample of predetermined hemoglobin value reacts as expected (sinks/floats)
iv Transfer 30 ml copper sulfate working solution in a Coplin jar
v Clean the fingertip with a spirit swab thoroughly Allow it to dry
vi Puncture the fingertip with a sterile disposable lancet to ensure good free flow of blood Do not squeeze the finger repeatedly to avoid dilution of blood with excess tissue fluid
vii Wipe out the first drop of blood Allow second drop of blood to fall gently from the finger from a height of about 1 cm above the surface
of the copper sulfate solution, into the Coplin jar
viii Observe the drop of blood for 15 seconds
Note
• The working solution is prepared fresh every morning and changed after every 25 tests
• The Coplin jar is kept covered when not in use.
• The lancet and capillaries are disposed off in a container with 1% sodium hypochlorite solution.
INTERPRETATION
• If the drop of blood sinks within 15 seconds, it shows that the donor’s hemoglobin is more than 12.5 gm/dl
• However, if the blood drop floats for more than 15 seconds or sinks mid way, it shows that the donor’s hemoglobin is less than 12.5 gms/dl
• Test the hemoglobin of the donor using Sahli’s method in case the drop sinks slowly, hesitates and then goes to the bottom of the jar.The donors having hemoglobin 12.5 gm/dl and more are accepted for blood donation
The results are entered in the Donor Questionnaire and Informed Consent Form/Donor Register
Trang 40SCOPE AND APPLICATION
This SOP describes the method for hemoglobin estimation of blood donors before blood donation by Sahli’s hemoglobinometer This method is used to re-determine the hemoglobin status of those donors who fail in the copper sulfate solution method
ii Clean the fingertip with a spirit swab thoroughly Allow it to dry iii Puncture the fingertip with a sterile disposable lancet to ensure good free flow of blood Do not squeeze the finger repeatedly to avoid dilution of blood with excess tissue fluid
iv Draw blood up to 20 ul mark in the Hb-pipette Adjust the column carefully without bubbles Wipe excess of the blood on the sides of the pipette by using a dry piece of cotton
