Permanently Banned From Donating Plasma? Finally a Legal Consultant to Help
If you were told you were "deferred" but were really given a permanent ban when you were added to the National Donor Deferral Registry (NDDR), and you're not alone. False positives, outdated protocols, and other questionable reasons have unfairly affected countless donors' ability to get income from donating plasma. We're also hearing complaints about not being able to donate organs or blood, get insurance, or even certain jobs. There's even a case where a couple broke up because a false positive HIV test caused infidelity accusations.
The Problems We're Seeing
Our legal consultant agreed to work with us to gather specific, quantifiable data from your experiences. By reviewing lab results, registration paperwork, and deferral notifications, we've uncovered a disturbing pattern of regulatory violations. We've found:
Outdated Testing Protocols: We've seen plasma centers use testing protocols that are scientifically obsolete. We've even seen cases where confirmatory tests on the same blood sample were negative, but the initial false positive was still reported to the NDDR. (In fact, there's some guidance saying you shouldn't even use the same sample to confirm.)
Outdated Paperwork: We've seen intake paperwork still being used that predates new donor rights under FDA guidance.
Potential Licensing Issues: We have found a medical director's name on a lab result in a state where we haven't been able to verify she's licensed.
Violation of Rights: We've seen centers deny requests under HIPAA while simultaneously claiming not to be governed by HIPAA.
These examples are painting a picture that explains why so many people are confused and angry. We want to help explain your options and work toward a solution.
