Regulated under PHS 361 [21 CFR 1270 & 1271]: Human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products. Creates a unified registration and listing system for establishments that manufacture HCT/Ps and establishes donor eligibility, current good tissue practice, and other procedures to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases by HCT/Ps. Among other criteria, HCT/Ps are required to be minimally manipulated and intended for homologous use. Homologous use means the repair, reconstruction, replacement, or supplementation of a recipient’s cells or tissues with an HCT/P that performs the same basic function or functions in the recipient as in the donor.
