The requirement that human tissue must be under quarantine with donor identification records before determining donor eligibility is fundamental to maintaining both safety and traceability. Quarantine serves as a safeguard to ensure that any potentially unsafe or unsuitable tissue is isolated from other tissues until eligibility and safety are confirmed through appropriate testing and assessment.

This practice is critical because it helps prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and ensures that only tissues from eligible donors are processed and made available for transplantation. Having donor identification records on hand during this quarantine period allows for easy referencing and tracking, which is essential for tracing back to the donor in case further investigation or follow-up is needed.

In contrast, keeping tissues in the office lacks the regulatory compliance necessary for maintaining safety and traceability. Similarly, although specific temperature storage is important for tissue preservation, it does not address the critical component of donor eligibility verification. Storing tissues with other donors recovered that day does not separate potentially unsuitable tissues, which could compromise the safety of the tissue intended for transplant. Thus, maintaining a quarantine environment with proper documentation is the only approach that ensures thorough eligibility evaluation while safeguarding the health of patients receiving transplants.
