Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Three European Directives published in 2004 and 2006 require Member States to take a series of regulatory actions to ensure appropriate quality and safety of tissues and cells. These directives define responsibilities to inspect and certify centers, to put vigilance systems in place and to publish information on certified centers and their activities. A European-funded project led by the Italian National Transplant Centre has supported Member States in the development of common guidelines for inspection, tools for vigilance, and training for inspectors. In Italy, inspections are conducted every 2 years at each tissue bank, and a vigilance system has been launched. Information on Italian centers and their activity is published in the Eurocet Registry. |
