National Donor Deferral Registry (NDDR)
National Donor Deferral Registry (NDDR) Guarantees That Deferred Donors Cannot Donate Again
The National Donor Deferral Registry (NDDR) is a database of permanently deferred plasma donors in North America. The NDDR was made available to all Blood and Source Plasma facilities in December 1993. The NDDR is one of many voluntary, self-regulating initiatives taken by the Source Plasma Industry.
All donors who test "reactive" for the following viral agents are added to the NDDR:
- Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HbsAg)
- Antibody to Hepatitis C Virus (anti-HCV)
- Antibody to Human Immunodeficiency Viruses 1 and 2 (anti-HIV 1/2)
In July 2004, Fifth Dimension (5D), a valued partner of PPTA, assumed responsiblity of the administration and customer support services of the NDDR. All inquires should now be directed to the 5D Customer Support Desk at 1-877-534-3578. For more information about Fifth Dimension, you can check out their website at www.5d.ca.
