Processing and Distribution of Semen for Assisted Conception Regulations — Amendment
Donor Semen Special Access Programme (Schedule No. 1238)
This early notice provides an opportunity for the public to comment on a proposal to amend the Processing and Distribution of Semen for Assisted Conception Regulations (Semen Regulations). The proposed amendment would authorize, under certain conditions, special access to donor semen that otherwise would be unavailable.
The Semen Regulations set out safety standards which aim at decreasing the risk of infectious disease transmission through donor semen when used in Assisted Conception (AC). The Semen Regulations prohibit the distribution and importation for distribution of donor semen that has not been processed in accordance with prescribed safety standards for donor screening (including testing), laboratory controls, labelling and quarantine.
Specific sections of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) Guidelines for Therapeutic Donor Insemination (TDI), hereafter referred to as the Guidelines, are incorporated by reference into the Semen Regulations, as amended from time to time. The incorporation by reference of these sections of the Guidelines into the Semen Regulations makes adherence to them mandatory.
On March 14, 2000, the CFAS issued a revised year 2000 version of its Guidelines which superseded the previous 1996 version. The 2000 Guidelines contain several changes, including expanded criteria for donor screening and updated testing methods. The change in the Guidelines which most significantly affects the qualification of donor semen is the inclusion of the Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAT). This test is now the sole acceptable method for detecting chlamydia and is a relatively new technology that was not required in the past. Consequently, the NAT was not used by most semen processors. Therefore, most of the donor semen processed prior to the implementation of the 2000 Guidelines cannot be distributed because it does not meet the new updated regulatory requirements.
Donor semen that does not meet the Semen Regulations, and by direct reference, the 2000 Guidelines, has been placed under detention and may only be re-qualified and acceptable for distribution if it can be brought into compliance with the Semen Regulations by, for instance, using a validated NAT kit for testing the semen itself.
It is important to note that re-qualification may not always be possible. As an example, a test may be required to be performed on a urine sample at the time of donation and there may be no test currently available to test the semen directly or the donor may no longer be available for retesting.
This current situation is problematic to some Canadians who want, for various reasons, to have access to donor semen currently placed under detention. For example, a woman or a couple who have had a child through TDI may wish to have another child using semen from the same donor so that the children would be genetic siblings. However, if the donor semen has been processed prior to the implementation of the new updated regulatory requirements and does not meet these new requirements, it may not be available for use in AC. In many cases, the original donor may no longer be available to provide further donations.
To address this problem, and to respond to the desire of Canadians to make informed choices with respect to the formation of their families, Health Canada's Therapeutic Products Programme will be proposing a regulatory amendment to authorize, under certain conditions, special access to donor semen.
The proposed Donor Semen Special Access Programme (DSSAP) would allow physicians to gain access, on a case by case basis, to donor semen for use in AC that does not meet the normal requirements of Semen Regulations. It is proposed that special access to the semen of a donor collected on a given date would be authorized by Health Canada's Therapeutic Products Programme provided the following proposed conditions are met:
(A) the needs of the patient cannot be met using donor semen that has been processed in accordance with the Semen Regulations, and by direct reference with the CFAS 2000 Guidelines;
(B) there is no evidence that the requested donor semen is contaminated with an infectious agent;
(C) serological testing for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) — I and II antibody, Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibody, and Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) have been performed with respect to the requested donor semen and the result of the tests are negative; and
(D) the application for special access, made by the physician, is accompanied by the following information:
(ii) a signed attestation from the physician that the patient has been fully informed of the risks associated with the requested donor semen; and
(iii) a consent form signed by the patient indicating that the patient understands and accepts the risks associated with the use of the requested donor semen.
DSSAP authorization would then permit the distribution or importation for distribution of the requested donor semen for use by the patient in respect of whom the physician made the application. The ultimate decision to use donor semen obtained through DSSAP would remain with the patient and her physician. DSSAP is not intended to be a mechanism to promote or encourage the use of donor semen that is non-compliant with the Semen Regulations, but rather to provide access to donor semen in exceptional circumstances.
Comments on this notice may be sent to Chantal Trépanier, Policy Division, Therapeutic Products Programme, 1600 Scott Street, 2nd Floor, Address Locator 3102C5, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 1B6, by May 15, 2000, or by Email to: chantal_trepanier@ hc-sc.gc.ca or by facsimile to the responsible officer at (613) 951-6458. All comments should cite Canada Gazette, Part I, and the date of the publication of this notice. The comments received will be taken into consideration in the development of the proposed regulatory amendment which should be the subject of consultation during the summer 2000.
The representations should also stipulate those parts of the representations/comments that should not be disclosed pursuant to the Access to Information Act and, in particular, pursuant to sections 19 and 20 of that Act, the reason why those parts should not be disclosed and the period during which they should remain undisclosed. The representations should also stipulate those parts of the representations for which there is consent to disclosure pursuant to the Access to Information Act.
