History of blood bankingEarly 1970s• Hospitals accepted both paid and volunteer blood donors
• Recipients frequently developed hepatitis following transfusions
• Correlation made between paid donors and one or more positive test results for hepatitis
Mid 1970s• FDA instituted a new rule – blood from paid donors needed to be
labeled accordingly
• Many hospitals no longer wanted blood from paid donors
