Double Red Cell Info
In a traditional blood donation, donors give whole blood—which consists of red cells, plasma and platelets. With the automated process called double red cell donation, donors can give just red cells—but two units of red cells—and that’s the component of blood that is in the greatest demand.According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines, to be eligible to donate double red cells:
- Men must weigh at least 150 lbs. and be at least 5'1"
- Women must weigh at least 175 lbs., and be at least 5'5"
