Short Answer
Yes. Under the current BDOI® Humanity Score™ methodology, platelet donation (apheresis) has its own scoring range of 1–4 Humanity Score™ points per donation.
Detailed Explanation
BDOI® recognises different types of blood and blood-component donations separately.
A platelet donation is therefore not automatically scored in the same way as a whole-blood donation.
Under the current BDOI® methodology:
Platelet Donation (Apheresis): 1–4 points per donation.
The applicable score contributes to the donor's lifetime BDOI Humanity Score™ according to the BDOI® scoring methodology.
The score assigned to a donation should be based on the applicable BDOI® rules rather than the donor choosing the number of points themselves.
Key Points
- Platelet donation has its own scoring category.
- The current range is 1–4 points per platelet donation.
- Platelet donations can contribute to the lifetime Humanity Score™.
- The correct donation type should be recorded.
- Donors should not manually assign their own score.
❤️ Motivation
Every platelet donation is a powerful act of humanity. Your contribution deserves to be recorded accurately. ❤️
