4 6. PROCEDURE 6.1. GENERAL Héma-Québec ensures that the mother has consented to and has been medically qualified prior to the cord blood collection. The cord blood bag must not leave the delivery room or the operating room before all labeling has been completed. Use only one cord blood kit per collection. Thermoregulator bags must remain in the shipping box provided. Collection kits, collection bags and files should be kept in a restricted area at room temperature COLLECTION PREPARATION DOCUMENT PREPARATION Upon the mother s arrival for delivery, have her file in hand and ensure that it includes: A copy of the ENR Consent to cord blood donation form (or ENR Consent to Directed Cord Blood Donation for a directed donation) The Collecte de sang de cordon collection form or Collecte de Sang de Cordon Dirigé for directed donation Donation number labels Cord blood identification labels IND or «Courrier» Étiquette Prélèvement or «Courrier» Étiquette Prélèvement Dirigé In the event anything is missing, notify a Cord Blood Bank counselor. Addressograph the collection form Collecte de sang de cordon or Collecte de sang de cordon Dirigé with the mother s hospital card making sure it matches the information previously printed on this form. Transfer the copy of the consent form to the patient s hospital file COLLECTION MATERIAL PREPARATION Verify the contents of the collection kit: Two plastic (Ziploc) bags One removable clamp Page 4 of 9

5 Using proper aseptic techniques, place a sterile field on a mobile table. On the sterile field, place a sterile bowl that contains gauze pads and disinfectant solution. Make sure the collection bag has not expired. Tear open the aluminum envelope and make sure to keep the transparent plastic bag containing the collection bag during the collection COMPLETION OR INTERRUPTION OF COLLECTION Once the collection process is complete, ensure that the needle protector is locked in place, covering the needle. Unlock the clamp and let the blood flow down into the bag (by gravity), then relock as close to the needle as possible. Clip the removable clamp on the tubing as close to the needle as possible. Gently mix the blood bag contents with the anticoagulant in order to avoid blood clots by inverting the top and bottom of the bag 4-5 times. Fill out sections 1 and 2 of the Collecte de sang de cordon or Collecte de sang de cordon dirigé form. Complete the following information on the «Commentaire» section of that form: If the collection procedure was interrupted or if a problem arose with the mother or the baby during birth. Presence of information such as: 6.4. LABELING For the mother: abnormal vital signs, signs of at-risk behaviours, signs of viral or bacterial infection (such as septicemia), past medical history or any other information which may be deemed pertinent to the cord blood collection. For the baby: presence of physical anomalies such as additional digits (toes or fingers), missing digits or any visible congenital anomalies. Labeling must be performed in the mother s presence. Verify concordance of the Donation number label already on the Collecte de sang de cordon or Collecte de sang de cordon dirigé form with the identification labels IND or «Courrier» Étiquette Prélèvement (or Courrier Étiquette Prélèvement Dirigé) and the series of Donation number labels. Page 5 of 9

6 Complete the identification label and glue it on top of the cord blood bag label without covering the bar code lot number. Make sure that no part of the identification label is pasted directly onto the plastic bag itself (see example in Appendix) PACKAGING AND SHIPPING PACKAGING OF THE CORD BLOOD BAG Place the cord blood bag into a plastic (Ziploc) bag; expel any air and seal. Put all remaining labels and the Collecte de sang de cordon form as well as any unused material into the other plastic bag. Place the bag containing the cord blood bag and the plastic bag containing the remaining labels and documents in the padded shipping envelope, then seal the envelope SHIPPING TO HÉMA-QUÉBEC Immediately place the padded shipping envelope on the thermoregulator bags provided in the shipping box (up to a maximum of five collection kits per box). Fasten the strap on the shipping box. Secure the box by affixing a tamper-evident seal to the strap. Carry the box to the location designated for outgoing parcels. Ship the box to Héma-Québec as soon as possible. For Montreal hospitals, notify the courier service (stated on the waybill) and make sure they sign the waybill. For Québec hospitals, notify Héma-Québec at Québec facility. Page 6 of 9
