§482.94(b)(3) Notifying the OPTN no later than 24 hours after a patient’s removal from
the program’s waiting list.
Guideline §482.94(b)(3)
For the purpose of this Standard, the 24 hour period to notify the OPTN of a patient’s removal
begins at the time of the patient’s death; transplantation; the patient’s decision to be removed
from the list; or notification of death or transplantation from an outside source (family or another
transplant hospital if the patient was listed with more than one transplant program).
The OPTN is considered to have been automatically notified once the patient is removed from
the waitlist in UNET by the transplant program. No additional notification is required by the
transplant program to the OPTN.
