A unified design for validation of methods for quality control of blood components

Quality assurance of transfusion media is a fundamental principle of the functioning of all blood service institutions, allowing guaranteeing the safety of the recipient. An integral part of the procuring process of blood components is their laboratory testing, which results reliability and reproducibility can be proved by carrying out of validation of analytical methods. The aim of the study was to define the rules for planning and carrying out validation tests of methods for quality control of blood components, including verification of their compliance with established acceptance criteria. Material and methods. The analysis of the literature about the safety of blood components and the quality of laboratory tests was carried out with an assessment of the applied significance of the information proved. Results and discussion. As a result of the work done, a unified model for confirming of the accuracy of determining of the safety indicators of transfusion media was created, which contributes to improving of the quality of donor biomaterial and the effectiveness of therapy. Conclusions. The presented validation design is relevant for medical organizations working in the sphere of blood donation and its components.
