What steps are required if plasma is collected into an unlabeled container?

If plasma is collected into an unlabeled container, obtaining a pre-printed label and completing the Product Donation Application (PDA) is essential because proper labeling is crucial for traceability, identification, and ensuring the correct processing of the plasma. By following this procedure, you help maintain the integrity of the sample and ensure it is associated with the correct donor information, reducing the risk of errors in processing or misidentification.

Proper labeling also complies with regulatory standards and protocols that are in place to safeguard the safety of both the donors and recipients of the plasma. It is necessary to adhere to these protocols to support effective operations within the plasma collection facility.
