Notice Pursuant to the National
Cooperative Research and Production
Act of 1993—Foundation for the
Accreditation of Cellular Therapy
Notice is hereby given that, on
September 15, 2004, pursuant to section
6(a) of the National Cooperative
Research and Production Act of 1993,
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (‘‘the Act’’),
Foundation for the Accreditation of
Cellular Therapy (‘‘FACT’’) has filed
written notification simultaneously with
the Attorney General and the Federal
Trade Commission disclosing (1) the
name and principal place of business of
the standards development organization
and (2) the nature and scope of its
standards development activities. The
notifications were filed for the purpose
of invoking the Act’s provisions limiting
the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to
actual damages under specified
circumstances.
Pursuant to section 6(b) of the Act, the
name and principal place of business of
the standards development organization
is: Foundation for the Accreditation of
Cellular Therapy, Omaha, NE. The
nature and scope of FACT’s standards
development activities are: development
of certain standards for medical
facilities engaged in blood, bone marrow
and cord blood transplantation in then
treatment of human disease. FACT’s
standards apply to all sources of
hematopoietic progenitor cells and all
phases of collection, processing, and
administration of these cells. The
standards encompass, but are not
limited to, cells isolated from bone
marrow or peripheral blood and any
variety of manipulations including
removal or enrichment of various cell
populations, expansion of
hematopoietic cell populations,
cryopreservation, and infusion. The
Standards fall into the following
categories: (1) Clinical Program
Standards; (2) Hematopoietic Progenitor
Cell Collection Standards; (3) Donor and
Cell Collection Standards; and (4)
Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell
Processing Standards. FACT’s standards
have been made available to health
institutions, health professionals,

clinical laboratories, health facilities,
and other interested members of the
scientific and medical community and
public. FACT’s voluntary standards are
designed to provide minimum quality
and safety guidelines for facilities and
professionals performing hematopoietic
progenitor cell therapy or providing
related services. FACT has established a
voluntary accreditation program for
medical facilities that seek FACT
certification of compliance with these
standards. The goal of FACT’s
accreditation program is to ensure that
both the laboratory and clinical aspects
of hematopoietic cell transplantion are
conducted in accordance with the Fact
standards.
FACT has also developed cord blood
bank standards. These standards were
developed by consensus with
representatives of NETCORD, individual
members of ISCT, and other
professionals active in cord blood
banking. The cord blood bank standards
fall into the following categories: (1)
Cord Blood Bank Standards; (2) Cord
Blood Donor and Collection Standards;
(3) Cord Blood Processing Standards;
and (4) Selection, Release and Shipping
of Cord Blood Units. Such standards are
designed to provide minimum
guidelines for facilities and individuals
performing cord blood collection,
processing, testing, banking, selection
and release or providing support
services for such procedures.
