This new blood donor center opened on June 24, 2008 at noon. This clinic has what is known as Automated Donations
In this form of blood donation, the donor's blood is collected using an automated blood collection system that separates the blood into its components, the red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Depending upon the type of donation, one component is kept while the rest are returned to the donor.You can donate a part of your blood: Red cells, platelets or plasma.
The advantages of automated blood donations are:
Only the blood component needed is removed with the rest being returned to the donor.
Donors can donate more frequently, depending upon the blood component collected.
The donor can help more people in need by donating more frequently and by donating more during each donation.
Automated blood donations take longer than donating whole blood (1-1/2 to 2 hours). Because of this, we provide wireless Internet access, televisions and movies for the donor to watch during the donation.
