RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE:
​
Save the Cord Foundation and WellSky are proud to welcome Paul Eldridge, Ph.D. as our featured speaker for our next edition of Share the Science on January 16th, 2020. 

​Share the Science is a free webinar series focused on the cord blood industry and the latest research in this field.  As always, we invite both health professionals and the general public to join us for this unique online educational series. Learn more about this exciting educational series here.

Learn how to transition to the new NetCord-FACT Cord Blood Standards

The Seventh Edition NetCord-FACT (Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy) International Standards for cord blood collection, banking, and release take effect January 15th, 2020. If you haven't had time to fully digest the updated standards, or have questions about preparing your organization to meet them, join Paul Eldridge, PhD, in this installment of the Share the Science webinar series.

Comprised of one steering committee, three subcommittees, and a total of 30 representatives, the committee for the new NetCord-FACT International Standards began their development process in January 2018. The Standards contain important additions and changes to requirements to reflect current processes typical in a cord blood bank. These changes maintain the relevance of the Standards in the cord blood field. The committee’s commitment, expertise, and experience is invaluable to the development of these Standards.

In this timely webinar, Dr. Eldridge, Director of Advanced Cellular Therapeutics Facility at University of North Carolina Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program and chair of the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) standards committee, will review the significant changes to the Seventh Edition of the NetCord-FACT Cord Blood Standards. He will also provide examples for effective implementation.

What will you learn during this webinar?

Attend to learn the major content changes to the NetCord-FACT International Cord Blood Standards, including:
  • Full implementation of ISBT 128 and Eurocode
  • Partial label at distribution for administration
  • Detached segments
  • Testing and specification requirements
  • Accreditation of HLA typing laboratories

You will also learn specific changes applicable to parts B, C, D, and E of the NetCord-FACT International Cord Blood Standards.

Additional Materials

The FACT Standards webpage was updated with the new Cord Blood Standards, accompanying Accreditation Manual, and other associated documents. These are available to download for free at: http://www.factwebsite.org/cbstandards/. Printed copies can be purchased online at the FACT Store.

There is a new tool highlighting the changes.  A redlined compare document highlighting edits from the 6th to 7th edition is now available.
