Blood donation is a healthy habit that helps blood renewal and it is not hazardous at all. The volume of blood collected from a donor is about 450ml (8% - 12% of the donor blood volume), this blood volume is compensated within 24hrs of donation and the body replaces the lost red cells within several weeks (4-6weeks). Eligible healthy donors (age 18 to 60 years, having Hb >12gm/dl and weight >45) males can donate blood every 4 months’ interval and females every 6 months’ interval. Platelet Apheresis donor’s age should be 18 to 60 years’ weight >50kg and has not taken the medicine Plavix/Ticlid for the last 14 days.
Prior to blood donation, we do a screening process of the donor which consists of confidential medical examinations including medical history, hemoglobin examination, blood pressure, weight, pulse, and temperature check. Then, a small amount of blood sample is taken for grouping, checking for infectious diseases, and cross-matching. If all tests are okay, then the donor is asked to donate blood. All our materials used in blood donation are strictly sterile and disposable.
Single Donor Apheresis Platelet (SDP) is prepared by connecting the donor to a machine and selectively collecting the platelet and returning the remaining blood components back to the donor.
