Abstract: To date, the proliferation of life science and medical research involving human participants in Chinese blood collection and supply institutions necessitates the eatablishemnt of medical ethics committees, which conduct ethical reviews to ensure that medical research trials adhere to ethical and legal standards, safeguarding the safety, health, privacy and other rights of study subjects. Taking the Ethics Committee of Nanjing Red Cross Blood Center as a case study, we aimed to explore the standardization process of medical ethics committees within blood collection and supply institutions by evaluating their accomplishments and shortcomings, and we sought to offer insights into the ethical considerations regarding medical device clinical trials using blood samples and donor information from these institutions, thus better protecting the rights and interests of research participants, and fostering the healthy and sustainable growth of blood transfusion medical research within the sector.
