THE DONOR SCREENING PROCESS

All our donors undergo the following tests and assessments as part of the donor screening
process. If a donor applicant fails an assessment, he is unable to become a donor.

Genetic Risk Assessment

Our Medical Team reviews the family medical history of the donor applicant,
going back at least three generations. We also carry out genetic tests to screen
the applicant for common inheritable conditions.

Physical Examination
A specially trained GP examines the donor candidate from head to toe, checking
all body systems, and asks a wealth of diagnostic questions to ensure that the
donor applicant displays no sign of health problems.

Biochemical Balances and Infectious Diseases

We do blood and urine tests to assess the health of the donor applicant’s main
organs. Among others, we check cholesterol levels, liver enzyme levels and
kidney values. We also screen for common infectious diseases.

Psychological Assessment
The donor screening process takes several months during which we speak to
the donor multiple times. If we experience erratic or aggressive behaviour, we
disqualify the donor applicant.

European Sperm Bank is an authorised tissue establishment

under the Danish Tissue Act which implements Directives
2004/23/EC, 2006/17/EC, 2006/86/EC and 2015/565/EU.

Initial and recurrent donor suitability assessment was performed

by trained staff in accordance with standard operating
procedures.

GENETIC SCREENING

This donor has undergone genetic screening and chromosome analysis. We have found no
genetic mutations related to any of the conditions listed below, nor any chromosomal
abnormalities. Please note that the genetic screening is not a diagnostic test, so there could be a
small remaining risk of the donor being a carrier.

You can learn more about genetic screening on our website – including your options for
screening your own genes to minimise the risk of genetic conditions affecting your child.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The infectious diseases listed below can be transmitted through sperm, so the donor was
screened for these conditions before being approved to donate. As an approved donor, he
continues to get tested every three months.

If the donor travels to a region affected by a harmful virus like Zika virus or West Nile virus, we
perform additional testing to ensure that he did not contract the virus.

Hepatitis B virus Hepatitis C virus HIV 1/2

Negative Negative Negative

HTLV I/II Syphilis Chlamydia

Negative Negative Negative

Gonorrhoea

Negative
