applies in cases where a prospective donor who has made an anatomical

gift or whose donation status has not been ascertained is in a hospital.

The hospital shall not withdraw any measures that are necessary to

maintain the medical suitability of the part until the procurement

set forth in section forty-three hundred one of this article of the

decision, or has ascertained that the individual expressed a contrary

intent. The procurement organization shall act expeditiously with
