In a case of imminent or recent death of a potential organ or tissue donor, the medical and professional services director of an institution, or the person designated by that director, must diligently notify one of the organizations that coordinate organ or tissue donations and that are designated by the Minister in accordance with section 10.3.4 of the Act respecting the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (chapter M-19.2).

The medical and professional services director verifies the following elements with the organization and may, for that purpose, send the organization any necessary information concerning the potential donor:

(1)  the person’s eligibility for organ or tissue donation; and

(2)  whether the potential donor’s consent for the post-mortem removal of organs or tissues is recorded in the consent registry established by the Ordre des notaires du Québec and in the national information filing system established under section 76.

Where consent has been given for organ or tissue donation, the medical and professional services director also sends such an organization any information concerning the potential donor and that is necessary for coordinating such a donation.

The medical and professional services director, or the person that director designates, is informed of the imminent or recent death of a potential organ or tissue donor in accordance with the procedure established by the institution.
