What is an automated split blood donation?
Automated collection of one or more blood components is called apheresis. A "split" product, commonly used in conjunction with platelet and/or plasma collections occurs when sufficient product is collected during one apheresis procedure, where two or more components are produced, each meeting quality assurance guidelines for content.
What is -apheresis?
Apheresis is a process in which blood is withdrawn from a patient, and the blood is then separated into plasma, platelets, and erythrocytes. The actual plasma, at times is then frozen, the plasma itself is paste-like in consistency and holds a larger concentration of red blood cells in nature. the plasma, if re-admitted into the body, allows the patient to have a "red-blood cell over-dose" and thus can help carry out more oxygen and perform automatic functions more efficiently. In recent news, Olympic runners have been accused of this so called "blood doping" because it allows the athletes to endure a natural "high" causing them to have an unfair advantage over the other runners due to there elevated blood platelet counts. Now, the Olympics association has mandated that athletes also undergo a red-blood cell count along with other drug test to assure legitimacy.

What does an apheresis technician do?
An Apheresis Technician collects platelets and plasma use on patients who suffer from TTP or low platelet count, and certain types of cancer. It is collected using different systems. One uses two needles, one in each arm, where blood is drawn from one arm and the given back to the donor through a vein on the other arm. The other uses only one needle, and it draws the blood and gives it back ( the red blood cells) back in cycles.
