The plasma donation process – what
to expect
During your first visit, you will undergo a detailed health screening, and after the results are evaluated (within 1–2 weeks), you can participate in your first plasma donation.
Here’s how the process works:
- Registration: When you arrive, the process begins with administration. Your documents will be checked and you will complete a short health questionnaire.
- Medical examination: You will undergo a quick examination to determine whether you are eligible to donate plasma. The following will be checked:
- Blood pressure
- Hemoglobin and iron levels
- General health condition
- Depending on the results of the medical examination, you may begin plasma donation the same day.
- Plasma donation: The plasma donation procedure itself takes about 45–60 minutes. A special machine separates the plasma from the other blood components and returns the blood cells to your body to support rapid recovery. The entire process is completely painless, and during the donation you can relax, read, or watch a movie.
