  • Monitor donor safety during the screening and donation process, identifying and reporting adverse reactions to medical staff.

  • Explain the donation process, plasma center policies, and donor safety guidelines in a clear and professional manner.

  • Maintain accurate donor records and ensure all documentation meets cGMP and regulatory requirements.

  • Operate internal computer systems, including the National Donor Deferral Registry (NDDR) and Cross Donation Check System (CDCS), according to approved guidelines.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked work area, including updating supply lot numbers when new lots are introduced.

  • Support the plasmapheresis process by preparing collection machines, monitoring donor comfort, and assisting with disconnection procedures when needed.

  • Participate in center audits by providing accurate records and compliance documentation.

  • Work collaboratively with other staff to meet production goals and maintain a positive donor experience.

  • Answer donor and public inquiries in a courteous and knowledgeable manner, transferring calls as necessary.
