Allowash XG is a patented and proprietary tissue sterilization process that removes greater than 99 percent of bone marrow, lipids and blood elements from the internal bone matrix. Since the introduction of Allowash in 1995, LifeNet Health has delivered over two million allograft bio-implants with no incident of disease transmission in tissues screened and processed by us.

Focus on Quality:
Donor Eligibility Criteria


LifeNet Health is committed to ensuring that only safe and effective tissue is released for transplantation. Our guidelines for donor suitability are based on the guidelines of the FDA and AATB. In some cases, however, our own guidelines are even more stringent than required.

New Information: New Donor ID Format

Effective January 1, 2010, LifeNet Health has implemented a “Donor ID” structural change to accommodate an anticipated increase in the number of tissue donors.

• The assigned Donor ID is still seven characters in length; however, it no longer includes a hyphen.


• The first two digits still identify the current year; the third digit is initially the number “1.” The remaining characters begin with “0001” and will be incremented by one with each successive donor.

For 2010, the first donor number appears as “ 1010001,” the second is “1010002,” followed by “1010003,” etc.

After donor number “1019999” is assigned, the next Donor ID will be “1020000,” then “1020001,” etc.

There are no changes to the Graft ID or serial number at this time—it still consists of the Donor ID, followed by a sequential identifier.

Examples- MS/Skin 1019812-024, 1010134S-001
Examples- CV: 1010108HV-01, 1012123V-0
