Blood donation frequency is optimized by incentive structures uniquely tailored to individual blood donors. An incentive structure may include incentive offers of different values, with each value being based at least in part on the predicted quality of a blood product produced from blood donated by the donor on a particular date. The structure may alternatively or additionally include one or more incentive offers that are each valued based at least in part on the predicted likelihood of the donor having an adverse reaction to a blood donation occurring on a particular date. The structure may alternatively or additionally include one or more incentive offers that are each valued based at least in part on the predicted likelihood of an attempted blood donation by the target donor being deferred on a particular date.

Incentivization of optimal blood donation frequency

Methods and systems for transfusing reduced-volume blood components are disclosed. Previously collected blood components are introduced into a fluid circuit associated with an apparatus that further separates the component into a reduced volume component and supernatant. The reduced-volume blood component is transfused to the patient in need of the component without the risk of circulatory overload.
