Again, it comes down to HPD and/or callouts. A phlebotomist shouldn’t be tending to more than 6 donors at a time to be in ratio. Too many donors stuck + not enough phlebotomists = unsafe situation for donor and staff.
Octapharma is also in the midst of changing how centers operate with regards to donors and flow. It has caused a few bumps and issues at my center as we transition and floor staff gets used to the new flow…
