Article R1211-16 of the French Public Health Code

The analyses provided for in article R. 1211-14 are supplemented, depending on the nature of the samples envisaged, by other medical biology analyses designed to diagnose transmissible infectious diseases, the results of which, even if they reveal a risk of transmission or if they are not yet known at the time of the transplant, do not prohibit the transplant.

The list of infectious diseases and the conditions under which the tests are carried out are set by an order of the Minister for Health.

Before deciding to carry out a transplant, the doctor assesses in each case whether the expected benefit outweighs the foreseeable risk involved.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R1211-16

Les analyses prévues à l’article R. 1211-14 sont complétées, en fonction de la nature des prélèvements envisagés, par d’autres analyses de biologie médicale destinées à faire le diagnostic de maladies infectieuses transmissibles dont le résultat, même s’il fait ressortir un risque de transmission ou s’il n’est pas encore connu au moment de la greffe, n’interdit pas cette greffe.

La liste des maladies infectieuses ainsi que les conditions de réalisation des analyses sont fixées par un arrêté du ministre chargé de la santé.

Le médecin, avant de décider de greffer, évalue dans chaque cas si le bénéfice escompté l’emporte sur le risque prévisible encouru.
