21 CFR 1271 Regulations

The requirements for CGTP are found in subparts C and D of 21 CFR 1271 that govern the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture of HCT/Ps. This includes, but is not limited to, all the activities and tissue processing steps involved in the recovery, donor screening, donor testing, processing, storage, labeling, packaging and distribution of HCT/Ps as delineated in a guidance issued by the FDA in 2011. The 21 CFR 1271 good tissue practices for HCT/Ps function in tandem with the 21 CFR 1270 guidelines for the use of human tissues intended for transplantation.
