NAT Background • All blood collection centers were contacted in regard to their testing experience 1999-2007 (questionnaire, 2008) • 4,5 mio RBCs / year • German Red Cross 7 centers 75% • Hospital assoc. 75 centers 20% • Private 5 centers 5% • NAT-assays • CE marked screening NATs • CE marked diagnostic NATs validated for sensitivity etc • Validated in-house NATs
NAT Background • Mandatory NATs for all blood / plasma donations • Definition of minimal NAT sensitivity limit (ID) • 01.04.1999 HCV-NAT 5.000 IU / ml ( = 20.000 cps / ml) • 01.05.2004 HIV1-NAT 10.000 IU / ml ( = 5.000 cps / ml)

Conclusions Challenges for Pathogen Testing Virus safety with routine measures high safety margins achieved testing experience limitations low virus level may be NAT neg vulnerability mismatches unpredictable sensitivity levels (HCV, HIV) appear asreasonable compromise for low incidence population
