Event category selection

Please remember that

[LIST][*]Whole blood collection[*]Apheresis collection[*]Donor selection[*]Testing of donations[*]Processing[/LIST]
categories are for SAEs relating ONLY to Blood Establishment processes. These should never be used when reporting a hospital blood bank SAE. The only exception to this are the few transfusion labs, authorised as Blood Establishments, that also perform secondary processing such as their own irradiation.

Thanks

Could you clarify if there are specific guidelines or additional examples for accurately categorizing SAEs when secondary processing, like irradiation, is conducted by hospital blood banks? This could help ensure precise reporting and prevent any confusion between Blood Establishment and HBB processes.
