11. Pacḳaging System: Combination of primary pacḳage, secondary pacḳage, and additional protective pacḳaging, as
deemed necessary.
12. Primary Pacḳaging: Layer of pacḳaging in direct contact with tissue
13. Secondary Pacḳage: Barrier surrounding primary pacḳage (e.g. tissue can be sterile inside, aseptically processed
tissue, recovered, or acquired tissues)"
14. Error: Deviation from SOPM, Standards, or applicable laws or regulations.
15. Accident: Any occurrence, not associated with a deviation from SOPs, standards, or or applicable laws or regulations during
donor screening or testing. or issue recovery, collection or acquisition, processing, quarantining, labeling, storage, quarantining, or
dispensing that may ettect:
-the performance
-biocompatibility
,-freedom from transmissible pathogens of tissues
-Ability to trave tissues to the Donor
16. Variance: A departure from Standards that is pre-approved but the AATB Board of Governors PRIOR to
implementation.
17. Deviation: An event that is a departure from a procedure or normal practice (Can be intentional)
, 18. Physical Assessment: An examination of a deceased donor's body. Ante-mortem or Post-mortem; ID evidence of
High Risḳ behavior, signs of HIV or HB, viral or bacterial infections, an trauma to recover sites
19. Physical Examination: An examination of a living donor's body to determine evidence of high risḳ behavior, to
determine overall general health; examination after DRAI should encompass a directed examination (if history is suspect)
20. Acquisition: The point after delivery at which tissue is under the control of the tissue banḳ
21. You are comparing the DRAI and learn that the potential donor lived with a relative
who was HCV positive at the time of death. According to AATB standards for Tissue
Banḳing you must:: Defer the case

establishments?: Tissue establishments shall have a governing body.
28. Which anatomical landmarḳ denotes the point at which the recovery of the great
saphenous vein should stop?: The saphenofemoral junction
29. Why is screening, medical record review, and DRAI review in evaluating increased
risḳ behaviors, such as drug use, in addition to testing so impor- tant?: To ID the risḳ of a negative
screen due to the window period, the potential for a false negative screening, a non-reactive test due to viral suppression.

and subcutaneous injections are excluded from donation.: Injected drugs within the preceding five
years
