Hello javvcr, welcome to BloodBankTalk.

Our facility uses ChloraPrep Swabs.

I didn't have an electronic copy of our SOP, sorry, but I uploaded a scanned image of the page.

So far, our experience has been positive. Hopefully a donor center person will add more as I focus more on our transfusion service.

Our donor center uses Duo-Swab as our primary choice. If the donor has Iodine allergies, we use ChloraPrep.
