What is one criterion for donor eligibility according to AATB standards?

One criterion for donor eligibility according to AATB (American Association of Tissue Banks) standards is that donors must be free from communicable diseases. This is crucial as the transmission of infectious diseases through tissue transplantation can pose significant health risks to recipients. Ensuring that donors do not have communicable diseases helps to safeguard the safety of the tissue supply and protects the health of those who receive transplant tissues.

This standard is part of rigorous screening processes that aim to assess donor health and minimize risks associated with tissue transplantation. By confirming that donors are free from such diseases, tissue banks can maintain high safety standards and ensure the integrity of the donated tissues.
