New in the 21st edition
For the first time, all changes with respect to the previous edition are compiled in a change log, accompanied by supporting background documents, both published alongside the 21st edition. The terminology used has been standardised, harmonising in particular the use of the terms “must” and “should”, and inclusive language has been introduced.
Other highlights of the latest edition include:
• new and updated standards on data-processing systems in the GPGs;
• changes in donor selection criteria related to haemoglobin, iron stores, allergy and anaphylaxis, cancer and malignancies, interventions and treatments, acupuncture, tattooing, body piercing, and aesthetic medical procedures, surgery and dental treatment;
• the recommended frequency for monitoring of donor IgG levels has been reduced while the permitted annual donation frequency with regard to plasmapheresis remains unchanged from the previous edition;
• the recommendation of glucose measurement instead of pH as a more appropriate quality indicator for platelets in additive solution.
