The Blood Bank of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, San Bernardino, CA, was not cited for any 483 violations following a 2003 inspection, but did receive a one-item 483 in 2005 because SOPs for the collection and processing of blood and blood components for homologous homologous /ho·mol·o·gous/ (ho-mol´ah-gus)

"Donor records, quality control records, equipment maintenance and service records, training records, storage records, blood product deviation reports and computer records were reviewed since the last inspection with no significant problems noted."

The report stated that two mobile operations were checked during this inspection. One was located at a strip mall parking lot in a large motor home with five donor beds and two donor history- and screening- booths. The other was operated in a hotel in a large room with six beds. "Both mobiles collected only allogeneic allogeneic /al·lo·ge·ne·ic/ (-je-ne´ik)

LaFave reviewed 10 donor records at each location with no significant problems noted. Also, "approximately 10 donations were observed at each location and no problems noted."

In the second inspection, LaFave noted that the donor sign-in SOP stated on page five: "At each donation, ask donor to present some form of recent picture identification," and "make certain that the donor matches the name and picture on his/her ID," the EIR stated. This was not performed by any staff observed.

The facility's management agreed that this was a problem and would make corrections, including retraining re·train
