Donor Chlamydia trachomatis/Neisseria gonorrhoeae RNA, TMA
Also known as: C. trachomatis/GC, Donor, Donor, C. trachomatis/N.gonorrhoeae, DONOR TESTING ONLY
Use
This test is intended for donor screening of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae nucleic acid (RNA), using transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) assays. It is performed in accordance with FDA requirements for donor testing where, until specific FDA-approved donor screening assays are available for these pathogens in HCT/P donors, diagnostic-grade tests labeled for detection in asymptomatic, low-prevalence populations are used as part of the RCDAD screening panel. It screens potential donors of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products for these sexually transmitted pathogens in a donor context.

Limitations
As donor testing, this test must use unmodified FDA-licensed or cleared diagnostic assays; any lab-developed modifications are prohibited. It is applicable only in low-prevalence, asymptomatic donor populations and is not a replacement for diagnostic testing in symptomatic individuals.
