Critical-care courier for organ procurement organizations and tissue banks. carGO Health provides temperature-controlled transport with documented chain-of-custody for tissues, corneas, bone grafts, and other transplant materials.
Organ procurement organizations (OPOs) and tissue banks handle materials where transport failures have direct patient consequences. Corneas, bone grafts, skin grafts, cardiovascular tissue, and other transplant materials must be transported at precise temperatures with complete documentation. Regulatory requirements from AATB, FDA, and state agencies demand audit-ready records for every shipment.
The time-sensitivity varies—corneas have limited viability windows, while processed bone grafts have longer shelf lives—but the documentation and handling standards are consistently rigorous across all tissue types.
Temperature-controlled transport of processed tissues, bone grafts, corneas, and other transplant materials between banks, hospitals, and surgical centers.
Time-sensitive transport of recovered donor tissues from hospitals to processing facilities.
Scheduled and on-demand distribution of tissue products to hospital surgical departments.
AATB-Aligned Documentation: Chain-of-custody, temperature logs, and transport records meet AATB accreditation standards.
24/7 Availability: Donor recoveries and urgent surgical needs don’t follow business hours.
NYBC Partnership: We partner with the New York Blood Center—organizations at the intersection of banking and distribution trust our platform.
Temperature Expertise: Ambient, refrigerated, and frozen transport with documented monitoring.
100% Medical Focus: Transplant materials handled by couriers dedicated exclusively to medical transport.
Tissue banks operate under regulatory frameworks from the FDA (21 CFR Parts 1270 and 1271), AATB (American Association of Tissue Banks), and state health departments. Transport documentation is a critical component of tissue bank compliance—every shipment must be traceable from donor procurement through processing, storage, and distribution to the surgical facility. carGO Health's chain-of-custody system provides this traceability with digital records that satisfy AATB accreditation requirements.
Temperature requirements vary by tissue type. Fresh tissues for transplant require refrigerated transport. Cryopreserved tissues—including heart valves, skin grafts, and musculoskeletal allografts—require frozen or cryogenic transport. Lyophilized tissue products travel at ambient temperature. Our temperature-controlled capabilities span every range tissue banks require, with continuous monitoring and documentation throughout transit.
