SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft document entitled ‘‘Use of
Nucleic Acid Tests to Reduce the Risk
of Transmission of West Nile Virus
From Living Donors of Human Cells,
Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based
Products (HCT/Ps); Draft Guidance for
Industry.’’ The draft guidance document
provides establishments that make
donor eligibility determinations for
donors of HCT/Ps with
recommendations for testing living
donors for WNV. The draft guidance
recommends an FDA-licensed NAT to
test living donors of HCT/Ps for
evidence of infection with WNV. The
guidance does not provide
recommendations regarding testing of
cadaveric HCT/P donors for WNV. FDA
believes that the use of an FDA-licensed
NAT will reduce the risk of
transmission of WNV from living donors
of HCT/Ps and therefore recommends
that you use an FDA-licensed NAT for
testing living donors of HCT/Ps for
infection with WNV. The 2007 Donor
Eligibility Guidance indicated that FDA
may recommend routine use of an
appropriate, licensed donor screening
test(s) to detect acute infections with
WNV using NAT technology, once such
tests were available.
In the Federal Register of October 24,
2013 (78 FR 63476), FDA announced the
availability of the draft guidance
entitled ‘‘Draft Guidance for Industry:
Use of Nucleic Acid Tests to Reduce the
Risk of Transmission of West Nile Virus
from Donors of Human Cells, Tissues,
and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products
(HCT/Ps)’’ dated October 2013 (October
2013 draft guidance). FDA received
several comments on the draft guidance
and those comments were considered as
this draft guidance was developed.
In the Federal Register of February
28, 2007 (72 FR 9007), FDA announced
the availability of the 2007 Donor
Eligibility Guidance. FDA issued a
revised version of this guidance under
the same title, dated August 2007 (2007
Donor Eligibility Guidance).
The draft guidance announced in this
notice replaces the October 2013 draft
guidance and when finalized, will
supplement sections IV.E.
(recommendations 15 and 16), IV.F.
(recommendation 5), and supersede the
‘‘West Nile Virus (WNV)’’ section in
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Appendix 6 of the 2007 Donor
Eligibility Guidance.
The draft guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent the current thinking of FDA
on ‘‘Use of Nucleic Acid Tests to
Reduce the Risk of Transmission of
West Nile Virus from Living Donors of
Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and
Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps); Draft
Guidance for Industry.’’ It does not
establish any rights for any person and
is not binding on FDA or the public.
You can use an alternative approach if
it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.
