Donation Types…
You can give a donation of either “Power Red” or of “Blood.” When you register, you’ll be asked to select one of these types. According to the Red Cross website, here are the differences:
Power Red: A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor. These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg, B Neg, or O blood.
Blood: The most common type of donation, during which approximately a pint of ‘whole blood’ is given. This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour.
