AABB Standards for Blood Banks

AABB Standards are guidelines set by the American Association of Blood Banks to ensure blood banks operate safely and effectively. They cover key areas like donor screening, blood collection, testing for diseases, storage, and transportation of blood products. The goal is to ensure that blood and blood components are safe, pure, and reliable for patients. These standards help prevent infections, ensure proper record-keeping, and promote quality control across all processes involved in blood banking, ultimately protecting patient health and maintaining public trust in blood services.
