What should I bring with me?

If you’re a first-time plasma donor, you’ll need a current, valid photo ID (must be 18 years old), Social Security Card, and proof of current address (such as a piece of mail postmarked in the past 30 days, or a current lease). Active military are to provide the address where they receive mail and their physical address.

How long does it take to donate plasma?

You should expect your first visit to take 1-2 hours. It will take longer than normal donations because of the initial donor suitability screening, which includes a video, medical history, and an extensive health questionnaire. Return visits will likely take less time.

What to expect when donating plasma?

As a first-time donor, a staff member will greet you at the front desk and check your required documents. You will watch a brief educational video, take a free health screening, and answer a medical questionnaire to assure safety. If you are determined suitable, you can begin donating plasma. Please allow for up to two hours for your first visit.

How should I prepare for my plasma donation?

Make sure that you are well hydrated—drink 6-8 cups of water or juice the day before and the day of your plasma donation. Additionally, eat protein-rich and iron-rich meals at least 3 hours before donating.

How often can I donate plasma?

Octapharma Plasma adheres to all U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines, which permit two plasma donations within a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours in between donations.

When do I come back for my second plasma donation?

It’s important to come back for your second visit. The first time you donate plasma, we test your donation sample to make sure it’s safe to use in life-saving medicines. We cannot use your first plasma donation until after you make your second donation with us. You should return 2 to 14 days after your first visit.

When should I expect my payment? And, how do I receive it?

Most Octapharma donors see payments appear on their prepaid card within 24 hours after a successful plasma donation.
