Medical Screening
PLEASE NOTE: Your eligibility will be determined at your physical screening or at your next visit to BioLife Plasma Services. We may not be able to provide all eligibility requirements by phone.
To assess your health prior to the first plasma donation and at least annually thereafter, our medical staff will conduct a medical history interview, a physical examination, and a blood test.
The medical history interview consists of a series of questions about your past and present health history, including questions regarding possible exposure to certain infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.
In addition, prior to each plasma donation, you will perform a self-administered electronic questionnaire using a touch screen system. Upon completing the electronic questionnaire, you will undergo a brief eligibility screening, which includes the determination of your weight, blood pressure, pulse, and temperature. This screening also includes a test for anemia (hematocrit) and protein level, which requires just a few drops of blood from your finger.
The items below do not cover all medications or medical conditions and the eligibility rules may have changed since this information was last updated. Additionally, some responses are confidential and can only take place when the donor is on-site at a BioLife Plasma services plasmapheresis facility
