Re: Petsmart sued over infected hamster cause of 3 deaths

UNOS, United Network of Organ Sharing, sets up the regulations on what tests are performed for a cadaveric transplant match.

http://www.unos.org/whatWeDo/organCenter.asp

When a problem occurs like this, they do investigate their policies. They keep stats on an enormous amount of things pre and post operatively, for the rest of a recipients life.

We have an entire transplant database set up with people who do nothing but input data that goes to UNOS. I doubt this incident has escaped them.

(Yeah yeah, I work in organ transplant)
