A person authorized to make an anatomical gift under NRS 451.566 may make an anatomical gift by a document of gift signed by the person making the gift or by that person s oral communication that is electronically recorded or is contemporaneously reduced to a record and signed by the natural person receiving the oral communication.

3. A revocation under subsection 2 is effective only if, before an incision has been made to remove a part from the donor s body or before invasive procedures have begun to prepare the recipient, the procurement organization, transplant hospital or physician or technician knows of the revocation.
