Abstract: | BNOT was created and regulated in 1977 and started its operation in 1978 according to the Decree No. 86/1977. By the Decree
248/005 is transformed in the National Institute of Donation and Transplantation of Cells, Tissues and Organs (Instituto Nacional
de Donación y Trasplante de Células, Tejidos y órganos—INDT). The organisation has been operating within the State University
Medical School and the Public Health Secretary and it is the governmental organisation responsible for the regulation, policy
and management of donation and transplantation in Uruguay. By the Decree 160/2006 is responsible for human cells and tissues
regulation too. The participation of the INDT in the IAEA program facilitated the introduction of the radiation sterilisation
technique for the first time in the country. The radiation sterilisation of tissues processed by INDT (ex BNOT), was initially
carried out in the 60 Cobalt Industrial Plant in the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina and now is carried out
in INDT, using a Gamma Cell 220 Excel, which was provided by the IAEA through the national project URU/7/005. The results
of the implementation of tissues, quality control and quality management system, are showed. |
