SCHEDULEU.K.

PART 1U.K.

DefinitionsU.K.

The following definitions apply for the purposes of this Schedule.

1.  “Autologous donation” means blood and blood components collected from an individual and intended solely for subsequent autologous transfusion or other human application to that same individual.U.K.

2.  “Allogeneic donation” means blood and blood components collected from an individual and intended for transfusion to another individual, for use in medical devices or as starting material or raw material for manufacturing into medicinal products.U.K.

3.  “Whole blood” means a single blood donation.U.K.

4.  “Cryopreservation” means prolongation of the storage life of blood components by freezing.U.K.

5.  “Plasma” means the liquid portion of the blood in which the cells are suspended. Plasma may be separated from the cellular portion of a whole blood collection for therapeutic use as fresh-frozen plasma or further processed to cryoprecipitate and cryoprecipitate-depleted plasma for transfusion. It may be used for the manufacture of medicinal products derived from human blood and human plasma or used in the preparation of pooled platelets, or pooled, leucocyte-depleted platelets. It may also be used for re-suspension of red cell preparations for exchange transfusion or perinatal transfusion.U.K.

6.  “Cryoprecipitate” means a plasma component prepared from plasma, fresh-frozen, by freeze-thaw precipitation of proteins and subsequent concentration and re-suspension of the precipitated proteins in a small volume of the plasma.U.K.

7.  “Washed” means a process of removing plasma or storage medium from cellular products by centrifugation, decanting of the supernatant liquid from the cells and addition of an isotonic suspension fluid, which in turn is generally removed and replaced following further centrifugation of the suspension. The centrifugation, decanting, replacing process may be repeated several times.U.K.
