Short Answer
Yes. Platelet and plasma donations can also be recognised with donation certificates when the donation is recorded by a registered and verified BDOI® organisation, such as an eligible blood bank, NGO, hospital, or other participating organisation with certificate functionality.
The certificate is issued by the respective organisation on its official organisation letterhead.
Detailed Explanation
BDOI® recognises that donors may contribute different blood components, including whole blood, platelets, and plasma.
A platelet or plasma donation can be recognised through a donation certificate when the relevant organisation is:
- Registered with BDOI®
- Verified by BDOI®
- Eligible to use the applicable certificate functionality
The certificate should accurately identify the actual donation type. A platelet donation should be recorded as a platelet donation, and a plasma donation should be recorded as a plasma donation rather than as whole-blood donation.
The certificate is issued on the letterhead of the registered and verified organisation responsible for recognising the donation.
Key Points
- Platelet donations can be recognised with donation certificates.
- Plasma donations can be recognised with donation certificates.
- The issuing organisation must be registered with BDOI®.
- The organisation must be verified by BDOI®.
- The certificate is issued on the organisation's official letterhead.
- The correct donation type should always be recorded.
- Certificate availability depends on the applicable BDOI® functionality available to the organisation.
