Abstract: This expert consensus consists of two parts: blood quality inspection and environmental hygiene quality inspection in the blood collection and supply system. The part of blood quality inspection specifies the sampling principles and frequencies for different blood products, clarifies requirements for sampling methods, specimen retention and disposal, and introduces the testing methods, quality standards, result application and analysis for each parameter of blood quality inspection. The part of environmental hygiene quality inspection classifies the environments of blood collection and supply service sites, stipulates the monitoring frequencies and quality standards for different environmental hygiene quality inspection items (including disinfection of air, object surfaces, hand hygiene, skin at puncture sites, blood storage and transportation equipment, as well as items such as high-pressure sterilization effect monitoring and sewage monitoring), clarifies the sampling quantity and requirements for different quality inspection items, and introduces pre-sampling preparation, sampling process, specific testing methods, as well as analysis and utilization of inspection results.
