Further, the guidance is intended to notify blood establishments that collect blood and blood components that FDA has licensed a supplemental test for antibodies to T. cruzi and further testing of donations found repeatedly reactive to a screening test for T. cruzi is therefore required. The draft guidance does not apply to the collection of Source Plasma.
