Abstract
Quality system assurance is the coordinated effort of all individuals working within the blood banks to produce the highest quality of products and services. It should include two main items: safe operating systems and quality system essentials. Operating systems include all operations and procedures performed in the blood transfusion center. starting from the process of safety blood donation ending by the final disposition of the blood or the blood component prepared Safety blood donation can be divided into five processes that are directly related to the donor: recruitment of a safe donor, donor screening process, safe blood collection with safe bag and venipuncture, safe post-donation process, and testing of donated blood. Optimum conditions of storage and transportation of blood and components should be standardized and strictly supervised Finally, adverse effects of blood transfusion should be anticipated and specific measures to be taken should be defined. Quality system essentials are the tools needed to perform all processes and procedures in the transfusion service, so as to provide blood and blood components that are safe, pure, potent and effective they comprise: The organization of the blood bank that includes all elements needed for its operation The suppliers that provide materials to the facility should be well selected. For evaluating the used quality assurance program internal and external assessments must be performed on basis of a proper quality assessment plan to detect areas where improvements can be made. Facility design and maintenance are critical to ensure that operational needs are met and that the work environment is safe for both staff and visitors. Precautions of protecting the laboratory workers against biological hazards, chemical hazards, fire, electricity, irradiation, compressed gases, and bad environmental conditions should be well-known.
