To provide supply & equipment to collect, test and transfuse 50 blood bags.
The new Collection testing and transfusion kit 2021 is specially designed for emergency settings where ... transfusion is crucial. It contains all the necessary supply & equipment needed to collect blood, test it against HIV, Malaria, Hep B and C, and syphilis, make sure of the blood grouping, and ensure transfusion.
The equipment such as blood bags, IV transfusion set and vacutainer blood collection tubes are from BD or Fresenius Kabi, also available as single item in the WHO catalogue.
The provision of safe and efficacious blood and blood components for transfusion or manufacturing use involves a number of processes, from the selection of ... donors and the collection, processing and testing of blood donations to the testing of patient samples, the issue of compatible blood and its administration to the patient. There is a risk of error in each process in this “transfusion chain” and a failure at any of these stages can have serious implications for the recipients of blood and blood products. Thus, while blood transfusion can be life-saving, there are associated risks, particularly the transmission of bloodborne infections.
Screening for transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs) to exclude blood donations at risk of transmitting infection from donors to recipients is a critical part of the process of ensuring that transfusion is as safe as possible. Effective screening for evidence of the presence of the most common and dangerous TTIs can reduce the risk of transmission to very low levels.

simplified HCV service delivery (decentralization, integration and task sharing)
HCV diagnostics – use of point-of-care (POC) HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) assays and reflex HCV RNA testing.
These guidelines also update existing chapters without new recommendations, such as the inclusion of new manufacturers’ protocols on the use of dried blood spot (DBS) for HCV RNA testing and new data to inform the limit of detection for HCV RNA assays as a test of cure, in addition to their use for diagnosis.
