§ 1271.50 How do I determine whether a donor is eligible?
(a) Determination based on screening and testing.

A responsible person, as defined in § 1271.3(t), must determine and document the eligibility of a cell or tissue donor.
(b) Eligible donor. A donor is eligible under these provisions only if:
(1) Donor screening in accordance with § 1271.75 indicates that the donor:
(i) Is free from risk factors for, and clinical evidence of, infection due to relevant communicable disease agents and diseases; and
(ii) Is free from communicable disease risks associated with xenotransplantation; and
(2) The results of donor testing for relevant communicable disease agents in accordance with §§ 1271.80 and 1271.85 are negative or nonreactive, except as provided in § 1271.80(d)(1).
