I (name of mother), on behalf of myself and my unborn Child ("my Child") hereby grant permission to Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center (ADSCC) to receive, process and test cord blood taken from the placenta and umbilical cord of my child following delivery and/or Cord Tissue. The Cord Blood and/or Cord Tissue will be processed, cryopreserved and privately stored for future medical application.

 

The decision to collect the Cord Blood, Cord Tissue and/ or placenta should be made by the medical team attending the birth. ADSCC will provide the Collection Kit for the Services I have chosen. Only Blood and Tissue procured using an appropriate ADSCC kit will be processed. The Collection Kit must only be used by a trained and licensed healthcare professional or phlebotomist.

 

I understand that there is no guarantee or assurance of the success of the collection procedure or that the Cord Blood and/or Cord Tissue or placenta will be suitable for processing by ADSCC. I understand that the collection procedure should cause me no discomfort or pain nor interfere with the birth. I understand that I should discuss with my medical team any concerns that I have about the collection procedure and any risks that it may present to my child or me.

 

I understand that my participation in the Cord Blood and/or Cord Tissue collection procedure is voluntary and that I may stop such collection at any time and withdraw my consent. Stopping collection will not affect my child or my treatment in any way.

 

I am aware that my treating physician is required to test a sample of my own blood to confirm the suitability of the Cord Blood and/ or Cord Tissue or placenta for storage. My primary physician will conduct PCR and serology testing on the primary maternal blood sample in accordance with the relevant regulations and guidelines applicable to human tissue and cell banks. I understand that such tests may reveal that I am suffering from a disease of which I was previously unaware.

 

I have completed the Mother’s Medical History and agree to provide ADSCC with any further, relevant information if my child later develops a disease that may affect the storage of the Cord Blood and/or Cord Tissue, placenta sample.

 

I understand that the effectiveness and success of using stem cells for specific therapeutic treatments depends on the circumstances of each individual case. Even if the Cord Blood Stem Cells and/or Cord Tissue, placenta is successfully stored and are capable of use in therapeutic treatments, the success of such treatments cannot be guaranteed.

I understand that the provision of services by ADSCC is subject to its Terms and Conditions which have been provided to me and to which I agree.

 

I have fully understood the information provided. I have had the opportunity to ask questions to my primary physician and have been provided with satisfactory answers. I confirm all the information I have provided is true to the best of my knowledge.

Occasionally, the processing of Cord Blood and/or Cord and placental Tissue can result in leftover material which is disposed of as clinical waste. In order for us to improve our processes and methodology, it may be useful for us to be able to use this leftover material for quality control, validation purposes, research and manufacturing or other purposes as we see fit. Do you agree to any excess material being used in this way?


Please tick "YES" or "NO"

Please sign under each section to store (1) cord blood, or (2) cord tissue, or (3) placental tissue or all (1 to 3):
