By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on March 07, 2025
The United Hospital Center Blood Bank recently passed its United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection, underscoring the facility’s adherence to stringent regulatory and quality standards.
The FDA has progressively strengthened the overlapping safeguards protecting patients from unsuitable blood and blood products for years. The FDA inspects all blood facilities at least every two years. Blood establishments are now held to quality standards comparable to those expected of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
