Welcome to Octapharma Plasma in Cleveland, OH, your trusted destination for plasma donation. Located at 656 E 105th St, our center is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and rewarding experience for all donors. Whether you're a first-time donor or a returning one, we are here to guide you through every step of the donation process.

First-Time Donors:

Exploring plasma donation for the first time? You're likely pondering several questions: "Where's the closest plasma donation center?", "What's the starting procedure?", or "What's the remuneration?" Count on us to address all your concerns and guide you through the donation process. For first-time donors, please bring a current, valid photo ID, Social Security Card, and proof of current address. Active military personnel are to provide the address where they receive mail and their physical address.

Donation Process:

Upon arrival, a staff member will greet you at the front desk and check your required documents. You'll watch a brief educational video, undergo a free health screening, and complete a medical questionnaire. If deemed suitable, you can begin donating plasma. Your first visit may take 1-2 hours due to the initial screening, but subsequent visits will likely be shorter.

Comfort and Amenities:

Our center offers Free WiFi and HD Televisions to help pass the time while donating. Feel free to bring books, tablets, magazines, or smartphones (with headphones). However, phone calls and photographs are not permitted to respect the privacy of all donors.

Compensation and Frequency:

We ensure competitive compensation for both new and returning donors. According to U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines, you can donate plasma twice within a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations. Your body replaces the donated plasma within 24 to 48 hours, making it safe to donate again shortly after your first visit.

Preparation and Aftercare:

To ensure a smooth donation experience, stay well-hydrated and consume protein-rich and iron-rich meals at least 3 hours before donating. Drinking 6-8 cups of water or juice the day before and the day of your donation is highly recommended. Post-donation, continue to drink plenty of water to help your body replace fluids.

Language Support:

¡Hola! We welcome Spanish-speaking donors. Please contact us to confirm if your local donation center accepts Spanish-speaking donors.
