Consent for meds derived from blood products

Does any site consent patients for medications derived from blood products (e.g., IVIG, Kcentra) to cover for the risk that the med may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses. There is also the possibility that unknown infectious agents may be present in such products.

Appreciate your feedback.
