HAEMONETICS….

What is it?

A double red cell donation! Put a spin on your giving

And save more lives!

Try an automated donation – give double red blood cells (red blood cells account for more than 60% of all transfusions!). Automation allows a single donor to give more red blood cells at a regular visit to the blood drive. Blood is drawn from your arm and passed through a blood cell separator which collects the targeted component (in this case – red blood cells). The remaining blood components are then returned to you through the same needle.

Who Can Be A Haemonetic Donor:

• 112 days between donations for double red cell donors
• hematocrit of 40% or greater (38% required for whole blood donation)
• males are 5’1” and weigh 150lbs.+; females are 5’5” and weigh 175lbs.+

If you have successfully donated blood before and meet the above requirements, you are an ideal candidate for haemonetics!

Make your next donation a double!
