AABB Standards

AABB Standards refer to the set of guidelines established by the AABB organization (formerly the American Association of Blood Banks) to ensure the safety, quality, and effectiveness of blood transfusions and related processes. These standards cover aspects like donor screening, blood collection, testing, processing, storage, and transfusion practices. The goal is to minimize risks such as infections or incompatibilities, ensuring that blood and blood products are safe and reliable for patients. Blood banks and hospitals follow these rigorous standards to maintain high levels of quality and safety in transfusion services.
