Abstract
The primary goal in transfusion medicine and cellular therapies is to promote high
standards of quality and produce ever safer and more efficacious products. The establishment
of a transfusion service quality management system, which includes several organizational
structures, responsibilities, policies, processes, procedures, and resources, is now
mandatory and widely regulated worldwide. In this review, we summarize the current
knowledge on the quality system in transfusion medicine as applied to the production
of blood components, including red blood cells, platelets, and fresh frozen plasma.
