Donors are normal healthy individuals 18 to 65 years of age who are qualified in accordance with current regulations and requirements for donors of blood components. These requirements include screening with the Uniform Donor History questionnaire developed by the AABB and accepted by the FDA.

Subjects are prescreened for evidence of transmissible infectious diseases with the standard panel of tests used to screen blood products for transfusion acceptability.

Specific subjects may be requested for product collection. Subjects may donate as often as every two weeks and up to 24 times during any 12-month period.

Consistent with the intended use of the product and the customer’s requirements, plateletpheresis products are usually packaged and shipped on the date of collection for overnight delivery. Products are packaged to ensure temperature maintenance of between 20°C and 24°C during shipment. Continuous temperature monitoring and data tracking devices are available at the customer’s request.
