How do you eliminate bad bones from Allograft procedures. Legal considerations.

Bone allografts that are also excluded should include bodies with a history of any condition that can affect the quality and long-term performance of the bone tissue including Bone cancer, Old, or brittle bones. Also, tissues with culture results yielding bacterial contamination like Clostridium and Streptococcus pyogene should be discarded. And, body banks should exclude bone collection from donors where autopsy reveals occult disease.

The tests run to find these problems should include tests for:

• Cytomegalovirus
  
• Epstein-Barr virus
  
• West Nile Virus
  
• Chagas disease
  
• Toxoplasmosis
  
• Malaria
  

Donors should be additionally screened for:

• Sepsis
  
• Vaccinia (smallpox vaccination)
  
• Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
  
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD)
