AABB Accreditation The AABB (American Association of Blood Banks) Accreditation Program strives to improve the quality and safety of collecting, processing, testing, distributing and administering blood and blood products. It assesses the quality and operational systems in place at the cord blood banking facility and ensures it's compliance with Standards, Code of Federal Regulations and federal guidance documents.This independent assessment of a facility's operations helps the facility to prepare for other inspections and serves as a valuable tool to improve both compliance and operations. AABB Accreditation is usually granted for collection, processing, testing, distribution and administration of blood and blood components; hematopoietic progenitor cell activities; cord blood activities; perioperative activities; parentage testing activities; immunohematology reference laboratories and SBB schools.
The Research and Development division of LifeCell has been recognized by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Govt. of India. This certification endorses our adherence to research protocols and processes has been formally recognized by the Govt. Moreover this certification serves as a boost to promote further research in Stem Cell and to collaborate with other national institutions of excellence.
It was a team of 7 Doctors from College of American Pathologists (CAP) to test and certify our quality practices. The accreditation certified is called CAP Accreditation in terms of the authority on certification they provide on the Pathological Tests ,like Haematology, Microbiology, Serology and Flow Cytometry which ensures reliability of results and superior customer care. The distinguished team had an interaction with the Heads of the department as well as the Technologists while scrutinising the Standard Operating Procedures, posters, safety and most importantly the competencies of the Staff as well as their continuous training.Now, the great news is that, the CAP Auditors were impressed with our quality of service and practices.
US FDA Standards The United States Food & Drug Administration (US FDA) is the largest governmental regulatory body responsible for the protection of public health. During the early years of cord blood banking, the only regulation that the FDA imposed was mandatory screening for certain diseases such as HIV. But since 2005, the US FDA has framed a full body of regulations outlining the procedures and methods that banks and laboratories must follow. These regulations cover the appropriate collection, processing, packaging, labeling and distribution of cord blood stem cells. In the United States, it is therefore mandatory for all cord blood banks to adhere to the FDA's regulations, which ensure the safe handling and storage of cord blood stem cells. And when a cord blood bank also has AABB Accreditation, it is further evidence of the bank's commitment to quality.
