Transfusion Transmitted Infections (TTI) Screening

Transfusion Transmitted Infections (TTI) Screening is a crucial process in blood banking that ensures the safety of donated blood. Before blood is used for transfusions, it undergoes tests to check for infectious diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis, which could be passed on to the recipient. This screening helps protect patients from potential infections that could arise from receiving contaminated blood. By identifying and excluding unsafe blood donations, healthcare providers aim to ensure transfusions are as safe as possible for patients in need.
