Section 490.230  Number of Blood Banks Permitted to Operate

a)         The medical director of a blood bank shall not direct more than three blood banks and/or laboratories.  This limitation does not preclude a director from serving additional blood banks as a consultant, general supervisor, or acting director.  Blood bank drawing stations licensed under this Act do not count with respect to this limitation (See Section 6-103 of the Act).

b)         The medical director of a blood bank must actively participate in the activities and programs of the blood bank; therefore, attendance of brief duration sufficing only for signature of reports or other nominal administrative duties will not constitute compliance with Section 6-103 of the Act.
