Quality Systems in the Blood Bank Environment

This edition updates the quality systems concept and examples provided in the original publication. Each section of the text presents the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, the AABB standards, and the ISO 9001, correlated directly with the AABB Quality Systems Essentials. Both general and blood bank-specific examples are provided, as are the samples of forms useful for documenting the facility's quality system. The book should serve as a practical tool to advancing the reader's quality system implementation. In addition, facilities should find this information helpful in understanding and complying with the new AABB Accreditation Program.
