What health screenings must donors undergo before donating at CSL Plasma?

Donors at CSL Plasma must complete a health questionnaire and undergo a physical examination before they can donate. This process is essential for ensuring safety for both the donor and the recipient of the plasma. The health questionnaire collects important information about the donor’s medical history, lifestyle, and any potential risk factors that could affect the donation process or the quality of the plasma.

The physical examination includes vital checks such as measuring height, weight, and vital signs like temperature and pulse, which helps in assessing the donor's overall health and suitability for donation on that particular day. By adhering to these guidelines, CSL Plasma can maintain a high standard of safety and health for all involved in the plasma donation process.

While other options might include health-related assessments, they do not encompass the comprehensive approach required by CSL Plasma. For example, a mental health evaluation, while important, is not a standard procedure for plasma donation assessments. Similarly, blood pressure checks and vision tests are not sufficient alone to determine the overall health and suitability of a donor.
