What should you do if step 3 has been completed?

Completing step 3 typically indicates that a critical process has been finalized and a follow-up action is necessary to ensure the procedure continues smoothly. Documenting the completion in the PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) is pivotal for maintaining accurate records and ensuring that all necessary information about the donor's session is logged in the system. This record-keeping is essential for tracking procedures and outcomes, ensuring compliance with regulations, and providing necessary data for future reference.

While other actions may seem relevant, directly disconnecting the donors afterwards does not encompass the broader responsibility involved in finalizing processes and maintaining accurate documentation. Properly documenting ensures that every interaction and event is traceable, which is essential in any clinical or plasma donation setting. This detailed log helps in audits, quality assurance, and enhances the overall integrity of the plasma donation process.
