ANNEX

ORGAN AND DONOR CHARACTERISATION

PART A

Minimum data set

Minimum data – information for the characterisation of organs and donors, which has to be collected for each donation in accordance with second subparagraph of Article 7(1) and without prejudice to Article 7(2).

Minimum data set

The establishment where the procurement takes place and other general data

Type of donor

Blood group

Gender

Cause of death

Date of death

Date of birth or estimated age

Weight

Height

Past or present history of IV drug abuse

Past or present history of malignant neoplasia

Present history of other transmissible disease

HIV; HCV; HBV tests

Basic information to evaluate the function of the donated organ

PART B

Complementary data set

Complementary data – information for the characterisation of organs and donors to be collected in addition to minimum data specified in Part A, based on the decision of the medical team, taking into account the availability of such information and the particular circumstances of the case, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 7(1).

Complementary data set

General data

Contact details of the procurement organisation/the establishment where the procurement takes place necessary for coordination, allocation and traceability of the organs from donors to recipients and vice versa.

Donor data

Demographic and anthropometrical data required in order to guarantee an appropriate matching between the donor/organ and the recipient.

Donor medical history

Medical history of the donor, in particular the conditions which might affect the suitability of the organs for transplantation and imply the risk of disease transmission.

Physical and clinical data

Data from clinical examination which are necessary for the evaluation of the physiological maintenance of the potential donor as well as any finding revealing conditions which remained undetected during the examination of the donor’s medical history and which might affect the suitability of organs for transplantation or might imply the risk of disease transmission.

Laboratory parameters

Data needed for the assessment of the functional characterisation of the organs and for the detection of potentially transmissible diseases and of possible contraindications with respect to organ donation.

Image tests

Image explorations necessary for the assessment of the anatomical status of the organs for transplantation.

Therapy

Treatments administered to the donor and relevant for the assessment of the functional status of the organs and the suitability for organ donation, in particular the use of antibiotics, inotropic support or transfusion therapy.
