Short Answer
Only a small amount of blood is outside your body at any one time during apheresis.
Detailed Explanation
The apheresis machine processes blood in small volumes. As soon as platelets are separated, the remaining blood components are returned to you before the next cycle begins.
The amount of blood circulating outside your body is carefully controlled and is well within safe medical limits.
