Must not donate.

If safety and quality of the donation is unlikely to be affected, discuss with Designated Clinical Support Officer. See ‘additional information’ section.

When the cause of an illness is not clear, there is an unknown risk to any recipient of donated material.

In certain circumstances, the aetiology could be multi-factorial, although it is not clearly established, there are no concerns relating to person to person transmission. In these cases, cells could be accepted for clinical use, based on current available evidence, after taking into consideration the impact of the donation on the donor’s health.

To clarify that if the safety and quality of the tissues and cells is not impacted, donation can be permitted.
