Updated – Uniform Blood and Plasma Donor Questionnaire
Since 2015, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut has offered blood transfusion services a standardised blood and plasma donor questionnaire as a sample questionnaire. Now, the current version of the Haemotherapy Guideline of 16 September 2021 imposes new requirements for admission to blood donation. This concerns in particular the deferral criteria in the event of acquiring a transmissible infection after a risk exposure. The adaptations of the uniform blood and plasma donor questionnaire were made by the responsible working group, which is composed of representatives of blood and plasma establishments, the Robert Koch Institute and the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, which is in the lead. The updated sample questionnaire is available in a standard and a short version.
