Cornea retrieval, grading and allocation, on the eye bank’s own register.
For an eye bank, in a hospital or on its own. A donor is recorded with the consent — who gave it, their relationship, when and the form’s reference — and the cause of death as certified; no cornea gets on the register without one. Each eye retrieved is logged with the bank’s tissue code, how it was taken and by whom, and the minutes from death to retrieval are computed. Preservation is in one of the bank’s own media, each with how many days it keeps a cornea usable and its source (the manufacturer’s instructions or the bank’s SOP); those days are copied onto the cornea as its usable-until. Grading is on the bank’s own scale, with the endothelial cell density as measured and the slit lamp findings as written. The medical director releases a cornea only once it is preserved, graded and every test the bank requires is recorded non-reactive for the donor — the reasons it cannot yet be released are named — and nothing is issued past its usable-until. A released cornea is issued to a surgeon and hospital for a named recipient, and the outcome comes back: used on a date, or returned, with any adverse reaction. On the day a released cornea reaches its usable-until, whoever may release or issue it hears so on WhatsApp. On the phone, the shelf with its usable-until times and the release.
