Tissue Referral Criteria

Midwest Transplant Network is proud to support and partner with our tissue and eye partners to provide lifesaving and life-enhancing gifts as we honor our tissue and eye donor heroes.

Thank you for calling MTN within 60 minutes of asystole for all deaths. Tissue criteria may change quickly; therefore, it is important to call on all circulatory deaths regardless of:

• Age

• Comorbidities (i.e., COVID, cancer, sepsis, etc.)

• Cause of death

• Coroner/medical examiner or police involvement

• Previous imminent referral

Your timely communication preserves donation options for patients, families and those awaiting a lifesaving or life-enhancing gift.
