Description: This publication, which applies to the transplantation of organs, tissues and cells of human origin for therapeutic purposes, aims is to provide guidance for all those involved in order to maximize the quality of organs, tissues and cells and to minimize risks, and thereby increase the success rate of transplants. It includes safety and quality assurance standards for procurement, preservation, processing and distribution of organs, tissues and cells of human origin (allogenic and autologous) used for transplantation purposes. An addendum has been added to this edition, in order to specifically address criteria for preventing the transmission of neoplastic diseases in organ donation. This addendum was finalized in the framework of the European Committee (Partial Agreement) on Organ Transplantation (CD-P-TO), a new committee operating under the aegis of the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) since 2007.--Publisher's description.
