We implemented a routine CMV pool screening procedure for plasma for the identification of CMV DNA-positive donors, and we evaluated the sensitivities and performance of different CMV DNA amplification systems. Minipools (MPs) of samples from 18,405 individual donors (54,451 donations) were screened for CMV DNA using the RealStar CMV PCR assay (Altona Diagnostic Technologies), with a minimum detection limit of 11.14 IU\/ml. DNA was extracted with a high-volume protocol (4.8 ml, Chemagic Viral 5K kit; PerkinElmer) for blood donor pool screening (MP-nucleic acid testing [NAT]) and with the Nuclisens easyMAG system (0.5 ml; bioM\u00e9rieux) for individual donation (ID)-NAT. In total, six CMV DNA-positive donors (0.03%) were identified by routine CMV screening, with DNA concentrations ranging from 4.35 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>to 4.30 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>IU\/ml. Five donors already showed seroconversion and detectable IgA, IgM, and\/or IgG antibody titers (IgA<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/IgM<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/IgG<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>or IgA<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/IgM<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/IgG<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>), and one donor showed no CMV-specific antibodies. Comparison of three commercial assays, i.e., the RealStar CMV PCR kit, the Sentosa SA CMV quantitative PCR kit (Vela Diagnostics), and the CMV R-gene PCR kit (bioM\u00e9rieux), for MP-NAT and ID-NAT showed comparably good analytical sensitivities, ranging from 10.23 to 11.14 IU\/ml (MP-NAT) or from 37.66 to 57.94 IU\/ml (ID-NAT). The clinical relevance of transfusion-associated CMV infections requires further investigation, and the evaluated methods present powerful basic tools providing sensitive possibilities for viral testing. The application of CMV MP-NAT facilitated the identification of one donor with a window-phase donation during acute primary CMV infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.01091-15","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,23]],"date-time":"2015-07-23T01:40:23Z","timestamp":1437615623000},"page":"3219-3225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Systematic Evaluation of Different Nucleic Acid Amplification Assays for Cytomegalovirus Detection: Feasibility of Blood Donor Screening"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Vollmer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Laboratoriums- und Transfusionsmedizin, Herz- und Diabeteszentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen, Universit\u00e4tsklinik der Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Knabbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Laboratoriums- und Transfusionsmedizin, Herz- und Diabeteszentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen, Universit\u00e4tsklinik der Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Dreier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Laboratoriums- und Transfusionsmedizin, Herz- und Diabeteszentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen, Universit\u00e4tsklinik der Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bmt.1702538"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1537-2995.1993.33793325057.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0042-9007.2004.00388.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tmrv.2005.02.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000357102"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2183","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.12199","article-title":"The impact of donor cytomegalovirus DNA on transfusion strategies for at-risk patients","volume":"53","author":"Ziemann M","year":"2013","unstructured":"Ziemann M, Juhl D, Gorg S, Hennig H. 2013.
