(a) before taking the blood from a donor obtained a statement from the donor which is in the approved form and published in the Government Gazette; and (b) before supplying the blood or a blood product— (i) caused a sample; or (ii) in the case of a blood product, caused a sample of each unit of blood from which the product was derived— to be tested in a manner which is approved by the Secretary and published in the Government Gazette for the presence of HIV, Hepatitis C or a prescribed disease (as the case may be); and (c) obtained a negative result from that test or each of tests.
