Overview
The system of quality assurance of blood products is set up in such a way as to guarantee product safety and microbiological purity. Microbiological control of all processes during the manufacture of blood products serves to verify the functionality of this quality control system. The authors provide an overview of the legislative requirements for ensuring quality control of blood products, the requirements for control laboratories and they present a short overview of the activities of a control laboratory and the findings of bacterial contaminants in blood products and the manufacturing environment in the years 2011 and 2012.
Key words:
blood products, control of environment, sterility, control laboratory, bacterial contamination
