CBER 17 Autologous Donations Labels 21 CFR (i) and (j) Information identifying the patient, e.g. – Name, – Blood Group, – Hospital, – Identification Number Date of donation If applicable, FOR AUTOLOGOUS USE ONLY May use a tie tag attached to the container

CBER 18 Autologous Donations Labels (cont.) (i)(4) If donor fails to meet any Whole Blood donor suitability requirements, FOR AUTOLOGOUS USE ONLY label replaces the Blood Group label (h)(2)(ii)(B): Components that have reactive infectious disease screening tests must be labeled with the BIOHAZARD legend

CBER 19 Autologous Donations Labels (cont.) (d) If there is no cross over allowed and the units are not shipped anywhere else, then no infectious disease testing is required and the unit can be labeled, DONOR UNTESTED If facilities cross over autologous units or ship to facilities that allow cross over, then all units must be tested for infectious diseases and labeled according to (i)

CBER 20 Autologous Donations Labels (cont.) (d) If products are shipped to another facility that does not allow cross over, you must assure that the first donation in each 30-day period is tested. – Tested units: Label according to – Untested units: Label as DONOR TESTED WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS
