4. 7 Survey Participants All are Tissue Banks in Canada accredited by AATB o All of them recover, process, store and distribute tissue o 5 Tissue Banks were inspected by agencies in 2007  3 AATB  4 ISO  1 CAP  1 Other (identity not specified)

5. Was your tissue bank inspected in 2007? Yes = 5 (71.4%)

6. Inspected by Whom

7. Recovery (includes referral, screening, consent, &/or recovery)

8. Recovery How many tissue donors did your Tissue Bank recover for transplantation? Total = 795 o Deceased = 50.3%  How many had an autopsy performed? 35% o Living = 49.7% How many tissue donors were also organ donors? 28.8% How many tissue donors were also ocular donors? 33.8%

16. Processing

17. # of Tissue Banks = 7 o Process bone = 6 o Process soft tissue = 6 o Process skin = 4 o Process cardiac and/or vascular = 4 o Process tissue from Living Donors = 4 ? Total donors processed = 665 Average graft yield per donor = 21 Processing

18. # of Musculoskeletal Donors = 233 o Bone = 295 o Cartilage = 1 o Osteoarticular (fresh) = 5

19. # of Soft Tissue Donors = 174 o Tendons = 138 o Ligaments = 24 o Fascia = 129 o Pericardium = 5 Processing

20. # of Cardiac and/or Vascular Donors = 170 o Heart Valves = 146 o Non-valved conduits = 44 o Artery = 1 Processing

21. # of Skin Donors = 146 o Thin = 144 o Thick = 2 Processing

22. Use of Radiation No Tissue Banks treated tissues with radiation prior to processing (non-terminal irradiation). 1 Tissue Bank treated tissues with Gamma radiation (above 2.5 Mrads) as a final treatment. Musculoskeletal and soft tissue grafts were primarily treated with antibiotics during processing.

23. Infectious Disease Testing

Of those who did, these %s are from their experience.

25. Distribution

26. All 7 Tissue Banks distributed tissue from deceased donors: Soft tissue = 7 MS = 6 Cardiac = 4 Skin = 4 5 Tissue Banks distributed tissue from living donors. 99% of tissues were distributed directly to Hospitals/Medical Facilities.
