Donation Tips

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 130 lbs. and be at least 5'1"
  • Women must weigh at least 150 lbs. and be at least 5'5"

For more on double red cell technology, read an article or view more on criteria.

Schedule Double Red

Scheduling an appointment for double reds can be done two ways:

  • Contact Debbie George by phone at 1-800-542-5663 ext: 2895 or via email.
  • Click on specially marked (*) drives.
