§482.98(d)(1) The independent living donor advocate or independent living donor advocate
team must not be involved in transplantation activities on a routine basis.
Guideline §482.98(d)(1)
In order to maintain an unbiased approach to evaluating a donor’s understanding of their decision
to donate, a program’s assigned ILDA must not have routine involvement in transplant-related
activities for any given organ type. “Routine” means any active involvement in transplant
activity that are regularly performed or transplant activities that occur on a fixed schedule for any
given organ type. Performing transplant activities on special occasions would not be considered
routine, however if the assigned ILDA takes on responsibilities towards transplantation, he or
she would no longer meet this requirement.
