At-a-glance
Kidney transplant programs now have the ability to perform temporary inactivation of multiple transplant candidates simultaneously for the reason of “COVID-19 Precaution”.
A temporary inactivation means that the transplant program has determined that a candidate currently should not receive organ offers for a particular reason. The transplant program may reactivate the candidate at any time, with no loss of prior waiting time.
What you need to do
Directions were included in an e-mail sent March 27 to staff at all kidney transplant programs and are posted in a system notice in Secure Enterprise. In addition, step-by-step instructions for this process are available in online help in UNetSM. The transplant program may reactivate candidates’ active status whenever it determines they will benefit from receiving organ offers.
