Abstract
The standards of the American Association of Blood Banks define a blood bank as an organization that, collects, stores and processes human blood. In contrast, a transfusion service tests the blood of the intended recipient and is concerned with the transfusion of the blood and it’s components. Blood banking embraces a variety of functions including the recruitment and selection of blood donors, collection and typing of blood, preparation of blood components, testing of the blood for transfusion transmitted diseases, distribution of the blood to the transfusing facility, pretrasnfusion testing and issuance of the blood to the patient, consultation on antibody related problems and on indications for transfusion, and investigation of adverse reactions to transfusion. The first and most important component in blood banking is the donor, without this individual and his blood, there would be no place to start. We all feel that the donor is unique and different. Donors are selected by history,physical examination and laboratory testing to protect themselves and the recipient of their blood. Donor selection criteria are based up on the code of federal regulations of the food and drug administration (C.F.R.) and the standards for blood.
