Paragraph 3. Requirements for biochemical testing of donor blood samples

      43. The testing of ALT activity in a sample of donated blood taken during donation is carried out by one of the methods allowed for use on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

      The results of the testing are evaluated in accordance with the instructions of the reagent manufacturer.

      An increase in ALT above the norm is the basis for recognizing the received blood products as an absolute faulty and for withdrawal of the donor for 1 month, followed by a control examination.

      44. Determination of the amount of total protein in donors of plasma is carried out in blood samples from each donation by one of the methods allowed for use on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

      The results of the testing are evaluated in accordance with the instructions of the reagent manufacturer.

      If there are deviations in the biochemical parameters, admission to subsequent donations is made in accordance with the criteria for temporary withdrawal from donation of blood and its components, established in Appendix 3 to these Requirements.

Paragraph 4. Requirements for immunohematological examination of donor blood samples

      45. Immunohematological examination of donor blood samples is performed using the following methods:

      column agglutination in automated and (or) semi- automated laboratory diagnostic systems;

      in a liquid-phase system on a plane and (or) in test tubes with reagents with monoclonal antibodies.

      Laboratory studies and interpretation of studies results are carried out in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of reagents and equipment.

      46. In the absence of an automated information system, immunohematological examination of donated blood is performed in two stages:

      1) the first - before blood donation, when in the presence of the donor, the blood group is determined by the ABO system by direct reaction, Rh-affiliation, presence of the Kell antigen;

      2) the second – after donation, when a sample of donor blood from a test tube (vacuum) taken during blood donation is examined.

      In the presence of an automated information system, immunohematological examination of the donor before donation is not carried out with the established blood group.

      47. The blood group of the donor according to the ABO system is considered established and is not determined at the initial stage of testing before donation, if a 2-fold testing was conducted during different donations using automated technologies in the absence of discrepancies in the results of the testing.

      The phenotype of the donor on the Rhesus system and its Rh-affiliation is considered established and is not determined at the initial stage of testing before donation, if a 2-fold testing was conducted during different donations using automated technologies in the absence of discrepancies in the results of the testing.

      Presence or absence of the Kell antigen in the donor is considered established and is not determined at the initial stage of testing before donation, if a 2-fold testing was conducted during different donations using automated technologies and using anti-K reagents. If there is no discrepancy in the results of the testing, the testing of K antigen is not required for subsequent donations. When K antigen is detected, the donor is attracted to plasma or cell donations (except for red blood cells), and Kell - positive erythrocytesare disposed.

      48. Selection of a sample of donated blood for immunohematological testing is carried out during donation in a disposable vacuum tube with a filler allowed in the instructions for reagents or in a vacuum tube with ethylene-diamine-tetraacetic acid (hereinafter - EDTA).

      The label of the test tube contains the following information: surname and initials of the donor, date of birth, date of blood sample collection, and the donation bar code (if there is an automated information system).

      Immune hematological testing of blood samples with signs of hemolysis, chilese are not conducted.

      49. Storage of samples of donated blood is carried out at a temperature mode of +2 +80 C in accordance with the instructions of manufacturers of reagents, test tubes.

      After conducting immunohematological studies, the test tubes are stored in the above conditions for at least 2 days.

      50. A confirmatory testing of the group, Rh affiliation, is performed in blood samples from all donations.

      51. When confirming the group affiliation testing using the ABO system, a double (cross) reaction is performed:

      testing of the presence of group antigens on erythrocytes with reagents with IgM anti-A, IgM anti- B, IgM anti-AB antibodies;

      testing of the presence of regular anti-erythrocyte antibodies in blood serum by standard erythrocytes of groups A and B.

      The results of the testing are taken into account in accordance with the instructions of the reagents manufacturer.

      The standard set of group markers for donated blood is considered to be:

      in group O antigens A and B are absent, anti-A and anti - B antibodies are present;

      in group A antigen A or A2 and anti-B antibodies are present;

      in group B antigen B and anti-A antibodies are present;

      in group AB antigens A and B are present, and anti-A and anti - B antibodies are absent.

      If non-standard combinations of group markers are detected, the donor blood is rejected due to its biological characteristics.

      52. The confirming testing of the donor's phenotype according to the Rh system and its Rh affiliation is performed in stages:

      1) Rh affiliation is determined – the presence of antigen D is studied by an anti-D-super reagent containing complete antibodies (IgM class).

      When the antigen D is detected on the studied red blood cells, the blood sample is recognized as Rh-positive, and the person whose blood was tested is recognized as a Rh-positive donor;

      2) a blood sample which erythrocytes do not detect antigen D is further examined by an anti-D reagent containing incomplete antibodies (IgG class) in order to detect weak and variant forms of antigen D, while, in doubtful cases, the testing is performed using an indirect antiglobulin test (NAGT), as well as by anti - C and anti - E reagents to detect the presence of other antigens of system Rh - C and E on red blood cells.

      A blood sample which erythrocytes do not detect antigen D, but antigens C and/or E are detected is recognized as Rh-positive, and the person whose blood was tested is recognized as a Rh- positive donor, but a Rh- negative recipient.

      A blood sample which erythrocytes do not detect antigens D, C, E of the Rh system is recognized as Rh-negative, and the person whose blood was tested is recognized as a Rh- negative donor.

      53. Screening of irregular alloimmune anti-erythrocyte antibodies (hereinafter- antibodies screening) in the serum of donor blood samples is performed regardless of the Rh – affiliation of the donor. Clinically significant anti-erythrocyte irregular antibodies are detected in the antiglobulin test.

      Antibodies screening in blood samples collected from donors making irregular donations is performed at each donation.

      Antibodies screening in blood samples collected from donors making regular donations is performed once a year, and if there is information about transfusions and (or) pregnancy in the period up to 12 months after the last donation, it is performed out of turn.

      To testing irregular alloimmune anti - erythrocyte antibodies, a panel of three samples of group O test-erythrocytes with the phenotypes ccDEE, CCDee, and ccdeeK is used. Freshly prepared or canned test erythrocytes are used.

      54. Determination of the specificity of irregular alloimmune anti-erythrocyte antibodies is performed using a panel of test-red blood cells, including at least 10 samples, consisting of a combination of phenotypes that allows to determine the specificity of the main clinically significant antibodies: D, C. Cw, c, E, e, K, k, Fya, Fyb, Jka, Jkb, S, s, M, Lea, P14.

      55. If irregular IgM IgG anti-erythrocyte antibodies or hemolysins are detected in a sample of donor blood, the donor's whole blood or plasma is not used for transfusion, while preparation of washed or defrosted erythrocytes is allowed.

      If irregular IgM IgG anti-erythrocyte antibodies or hemolysins are detected, the donor blood is rejected due to its biological characteristics.

      56. Determination of other blood group antigens is performed when forming a register of phenotyped donors, intended for selection of blood components for sensitized patients.

      When forming a database of donor phenotypes, the Rh-Hr system antigens are additionally determined in blood samples: c(hr'), e(hr"), CW and other antigen systems: Lea, Fya, Jka, S.

Paragraph 5. Requirements for the testing of markers of
hemotransmissive infections in donor blood samples

      57. A laboratory testing for presence of markers of hemotransmissive infections (hereinafter- HTI): HIV-1,2, HBV, HCV, syphilis of donated blood samples at each donation of blood and its components.

      The blood sample of the HSC donor is additionally examined for markers of cytomegalovirus infection, toxoplasmosis, T- lymphotropic virus of type I, II in the medical organization that sends the donor for donation.

      The list of studied infectious markers is expanded according to epidemiological indications by the decision of local management bodies in the field of healthcare.

      58. Selection of samples of donated blood for laboratory testing for infectious markers is carried out in disposable vacuum tubes during the donation of blood or components.

      The tightness of test tubes with samples of donated blood is observed at all stages from blood collection to the moment of laboratory testing.

      Storage of donor blood samples is performed in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of diagnostic reagents and vacuum tubes.

      59. Test tubes with samples of donated blood are subjected to centrifugation. The centrifuge mode is selected in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of vacuum tubes. Repeated centrifugation of test tubes is carried out in accordance with the instructions of the reagent manufacturer.

      60. Equipment and diagnostic reagents registered and approved for use in the Republic of Kazakhstan are used for laboratory testing of donor blood samples.

      61. Laboratory testing of donor blood samples for infectious markers is performed using the following methods:

      1) immunological testing of HTI markers;

      2) molecular biological testing using nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT testing).

      62. Immunological testing of donor blood samples is divided into screening (serological screening) and repeated testing, which are performed by immunoassay (IA) methods (chemiluminescent; enzyme immunoassay) and confirming testing, which is performed by the same methods, as well as immunoblotting (IB) and (or) hemagglutination reaction (RHA)/particle agglutination (RA) and other methods allowed for use on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

      63. Laboratory testing of donor blood samples for markers of HIV-1,2, HBV, HCV, syphilis is carried out in two stages on automatic closed-type analyzers:

      Stage I-serological screening for markers of HIV-1,2, HCV, HBV, syphilis is performed by chemiluminescent immunoassays;

      Stage II-NAT-testing of donor blood samples for the presence of HIV-1,2 RNA, HCV and HBV DNA is performed with a negative result at stage I.

      If it is necessary to obtain an emergency result on the infectious safety of donor blood samples, serological screening and NAT testing are performed in parallel.

      Receiving negative results of studies of donor blood samples during serological screening and NAT testing is a reason to recognize the blood of donors as uninfected in relation to the studied infections.

      64. The following GTI markers are examined during serological screening of donor blood samples:

      1) HIV-1,2 antibodies and p24 antigen in a combined test;

      2) surface HBV antigen (HBsAg) in a test with a sensitivity of at least 0.5 IU/ml of the antigen;

      3) HCV antibodies or HCV antibodies and antigen in a combined test;

      4) total (general) antibodies to the pathogen of syphilis.

      65. The following serological screening results are established:

      1) negative - coefficient of positivity of the tested blood sample is less than 0.8;

      2) primary-reactive (or "in operation") - coefficient of positivity of the test blood sample is higher than 0.8

      66. Blood components obtained from donation, in the blood sample of which, according to the result of serological screening, a "primary - reactive" result is established are utilized.

      Tactics in relation to the donor is determined by the results of repeated and confirmatory immunological testing of the sample.

      67. When receiving a serological screening of the primary reactive result for HIV-1,2 markers, two repeated studies of the blood sample are performed:

      first repeated - with preservation of the conditions of the first setting with the same diagnostic reagents;

      2) sterility control is applied to: medical instruments, dressings, tableware (bottles, vials, ampoules), test tubes, pipettes and other products;

      3) sterility is checked by flushing or by immersion of the sterilized product or part of it in nutrient media;

      4) when flushing, simultaneous seeding of products (or their individual nodes and components) is performed in 2 test tubes containing at least 10 ml of the above-mentioned nutrient medium. The container is filled with a volume of medium sufficient for complete immersion of the sample;

      5) crops are kept in a thermostat: one tube with a thioglycol medium at a temperature in the range from +350C to +370C, the second tube with a thioglycol medium is incubated at + 220C to +250C, for eight days. When the nutrient medium becomes cloudy, smears are made, which are colored by Gram, and microscopy is performed.

      122. Control of microbial contamination of the air of aseptic boxes and individual industrial premises (determination of the number of colonies of forming microorganisms (CFU) contained in 1 m3 of room air) is carried out by examining the air by aspiration and sedimentation method.

      Air samples are taken by aspiration method using the Krotov device, PUB, POV-1 and other similar models. The speed of drawing air through the device is 25 liters/ minutes.

      To determine the total content of microorganisms, 100 liters of air is passed, and to determine the St. Aureus 250 liters of air is passed.

      If there are no samplers, it is allowed to test the microflora of indoor air by sedimentation (settling) of microflora on Petri dishes with agar media.

      Selection of samples is performed on 2 cups of meat-peptone agar (MPA) for 10 minutes to determine the total air contamination and on yolk-salt agar (YSA) for 20 minutes to determine the content of St. Аureus.

      Selection of air samples is performed in compliance with the following conditions:

      1) the level of sampling height should correspond to the height of the working table;

      2) closed windows and doors;

      3) not earlier than 30 minutes after wet cleaning of the room and switching off the germicidal lamps.

      Seedings are incubated at a temperature of +35oC to + 37oC for 24 hours, then left for 24 hours at a temperature in the range of +22oC to +25oC. Then, the total number of grown colonies on 2 Petri dishes are counted and recalculated to the number of microorganisms in 1 m3 of air, the arithmetic mean value (the sum of the number of bacteria grown on 2 Petri dishes) is calculated which is divided by 2, the resulting number is multiplied by 80 (with diameter of Petri dishes 9 cm - square of the cup is 80 cm2) and in this case the number of colonies in 1 m3 of air is obtained.

      Example of calculation: on 2 cups with a diameter of 9 cm, 7 colonies grew, first the arithmetic mean of the total number of colonies in both cups is calculated, by adding the number of colonies in both cups and dividing the resulting amount by the number of cups (in this example by 2), then the resulting value (7) is multiplied by the area of the cup (in this example, 80 cm2), as a result, the number of colony-forming units is determined in this example, this number was 560 CFU/ m3). If the cup diameter is 8 cm, the multiplier is 100; the presence and quantity of mold fungi is specified separately.

      123. To detect St. Аureus seeding on one of the nutrient media is conducted: yolk-salt, milk-salt or milk-yolk-salt agar or on other nutrient media registered and allowed for use on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

      After incubation, the cups are viewed to determine the nature and massiveness of the growth of colonies, followed by removal of Staphylococcus colonies forming an iridescent corolla and pigmented colonies from dense salt media to a slanted nutrient agar. In the absence of pigmented colonies and colonies with positive lecitovitellase activity on the cups, non-pigmented colonies and colonies with no lecitovitellase activity, similar in morphology to Staphylococcus, are removed for testing. At least 2 colonies of various types are selected.

      Tubes with seedings are placed in a thermostat at a temperature from + 35°C to +37°C for 18-20 hours. After daily incubation, the morphology, tinctorial properties (Gram stain) and the presence of plasma-coagulating activity and flake-forming factor are checked in the selected strains.

      To identify coagulase-positive staphylococci, 2-3 available tests are used in addition to the plasma coagulation reaction.

      The belonging of culture with a typical morphology, plasma-coagulating activity, in the absence of pigment and flocculation, to the type of coagulase-positive staphylococci is determined by the table.

      6) temperature mode of refrigerators;

      7) control samples using obviously sterile preparations.

      127. Every day, the surfaces and equipment of the box and pre-box are subjected to a thorough wet cleaning with sterile rags using any disinfectants and detergents registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan and authorized for use by bodies and institutions of State sanitary and epidemiological supervision. The working solution of disinfectants and detergents is prepared in concentration in accordance with approved guidelines.

      The rate of consumption of disinfectants is 100-150 ml/m2.

      128. The box is processed in rubber gloves and a gauze mask, and if necessary - in a respirator.

      129. To disinfect the air in the box, bactericidal lamps are used at the rate of 2-2. 5 watts of power per cubic meter, which are turned on no earlier than 30 minutes after the end of wet cleaning. Irradiation is conducted for 1.5-2 hours. The time of operation of bactericidal lamps is recorded in special journals. The use of bactericidal lamps must comply with their technical data according to the passport.

      130. General cleaning of the box is carried out once a week with disinfectants in the concentration specified in the instructions for viral and fungal infections. After the general cleaning, the bactericidal lamps are switched on for 2 hours.

      131. If fungi and mold are found in the air of boxes, an extraordinary general cleaning shall be carried out.

      132. Alternation of disinfectants is performed to prevent the appearance of resistant forms of microorganisms.

      133. Test tubes (bottles, flasks) with bacterial growth of products are utilized after disinfection.

      After work, nutrient media without bacterial growth are collected in containers and after decontamination are drained into the sewer.

      134. Used laboratory utensils (Petri dishes, test tubes, flasks, bottles, etc.) and rubber pears are placed in a 4% solution of hydrogen peroxide with 0.5% detergent or any disinfectant with a washing effect registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In pipettes, before immersion in the solution, this solution is pre-sucked using a rubber canister. Exposure is maintained to ensure reliable disinfection and pre-sterilization cleaning. Dishes are washed with ruffs in the same solution and repeatedly (8-10 times) rinsed first with ordinary running water until the smell of the disinfectant is completely removed, and then with purified water, after which they are further processed.

      135. Dishes are dried at room temperature (cold drying) or in a dry cabinet at a temperature of + 85-900C. The dried dishes are viewed in the light. The glass must be completely transparent without any frosted coating or spots. Dry dishes are closed (stoppers are inserted into test tubes, bottles, lids are selected for Petri dishes) and placed in pencil cases or wrapped in paper. For flasks and bottles, the neck is additionally wrapped with paper caps.

      136. Dishes are sterilized with dry hot air at a temperature of 1800C-1900C-60 minutes, at a temperature of 1600C-1700C-150 minutes, or with saturated steam under excessive pressure at 2.0 (±0.2) kgf/cm2 /+132 +1340 S / - 20-22 minutes, at 1.1 (±0.2) kgf / cm2 /+1200C - + 1220C/ - 45-48 minutes.

      137. Preparation of nutrient media for testings (cooking, bottling, sterilization, storage) is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

      Control of each prepared batch of nutrient media after autoclaving provides for an assessment of their quality by sterility by thermostating control samples (at least 2 % of the batch) for 48 hours.

      138. Control samples of a thioglycol medium intended to detect bacteria are incubated for 48 hours at a temperature of +35 to +370C.

      139. The profitability analysis is carried out by visual inspection of the samples. During thermostating, the growth of microorganisms should not be observed. In the case of sprouting (turbidity) of the medium in the samples left for control, the entire batch is rejected. Samples of media kept in a thermostat are not used for testings.

      140. Simultaneously with the tested samples of products, parallel control of nutrient media (at least one sample of each nutrient medium) is carried out during the entire period of their thermostating.

      Note:

      When donating plasma (including immune) - plasma is prepared in a volume of no more than 20 liters per year, taking into account the anticoagulant. After each 20 consecutive plasma or platelet donations, the donor shall be given a rest for period of one month.

      When donating erythrocytes by apheresis, erythrocytes are prepared within a year in a volume identical to the loss of erythrocytes during the donation of whole blood for the same period.

      The interval between procedures in exceptional circumstances (in the absence of a donor with the required blood group) is reduced at the discretion of the doctor conducting medical examination of the donor.

      The procedure of plasmapheresis with the failed return of erythrocytes to the donor at intervals between different types of donations of blood and its components is equivalent to the donation of the whole blood.

      Preparation of blood in small doses is carried out no more than 3 times a week in the amount of 10-30 milliliters of whole blood.

      Maximum frequency of blood donation:

      for men donors – 6 doses in a volume of 450 ml ± 10% per year;

      for female donors-4 doses of 450 ml ± 10% per year.

      The frequency and multiplicity of peripheral blood HSC donations is determined in accordance with the initial level in the peripheral blood of CD34+ in the amount of 20 cells per microliter or more and the level of CD34+ cells in the final product of at least 2x10 6 per kilogram of body weight of the recipient.

12. Fresh frozen plasma

      Definition

      Fresh frozen plasma (hereinafter - FFP ) - a component of blood obtained from a dose of the Blood whole or by plasmapheresis method.

      Preparation

      FFP is obtained by freezing plasma under conditions that preserve labile clotting factors - within the first 6 hours after preparation, but no later than 18 hours if the dose was cooled immediately after preparation. If the plasma dose was cooled using special validated equipment to a temperature between + 20°C and + 24°C, shelf-life before freezing is extended to 24 hours. Freezing is carried out in a system that provides a temperature of -30°C for 1 hour.

      Before freezing, the plasma is subjected to leucofiltration, while the content of leukocytes is less than 1x106. FFP can be quarantined to eliminate the risk associated with the "window period", while the FFP is recognized as quarantined after repeated examination of the donor for infection markers - surface antigen for hepatitis B, anti - HIV and anti - HCV 6 months after blood donation. When using the polymerase chain reaction method for diagnostics, the quarantine period is reduced to 4 months.

      Compliance of FFP and its varieties used as Human plasma for fractionation with the specifications set out in the articles of the Pharmacopoeia is ensured.

      Compliance of FFP for clinical use with the requirements of this section is ensured.

      Using

      FFP for clinical use is defrosted before use at a temperature from + 34°C to +37°C in specialized devices.
