National Donor Deferral Registry (NDDR®)

The National Donor Deferral Registry (NDDR®) is a database of donors who test "reactive" for the viral agents for HIV, HBV, and HCV and are permanently prohibited from donating plasma at participating licensed and industry-certified centers in the U.S. and Canada. It is one of the voluntary, self-regulating initiatives taken by the plasma collection industry and is an important component of the industry-driven safety measures that help ensure the safety of the final therapies.
Individuals in the U.S. and Canada who have never donated plasma at a participating center are checked against the NDDR. Additionally, donors who have not donated at a participating center in the
preceding 6 months are also checked against the NDDR.
The NDDR only contains identifying information about deferred donors; it does not contain information about individual test results. The NDDR is operated by Cieloworks, an independent administrator, as part of PPTA’s International Quality Plasma Program (IQPP).

Plasma donors testing reactive for HIV, HBV or HCV are entered into the NDDR. Note, a reactive test does not mean you are positive for that virus. Please consult your doctor for further testing information.
For further information regarding a deferral, please contact the center/company that contacted you regarding the deferral as they are the ones who would have access to specific information concerning your test results and deferral record. .
If you are not certain which company you were visiting when you tested reactive, please submit the Information for Donors Found in the NDDR form.

Plasma donors are rarely removed from the NDDR due to the risk posed by possible transmission of HIV, HBV or HCV. For further information, please contact the center that reported your reactive test.
If you are not certain which company you were visiting when you tested reactive, please submit the Information for Donors Found in the NDDR form.

Plasma collectors reserve the right to defer donors temporarily or permanently for reasons determined by company policy in their systems, which is not related to the NDDR. PPTA has no insight into that process and encourage you to contact the last center/company where you donated.

Plasma collectors only have access to the NDDR to verify if the donor is on the NDDR.
The independent administrator has minimal access (Company information) to information in the NDDR.

DO NOT contact PPTA about your NDDR status. PPTA has no ability to access the NDDR or advocate on your behalf; any materials provided to PPTA will be destroyed.

ONLY contact Cieloworks for specific company information (who entered you in the NDDR). Only provide the NDDR form; any additional materials provided will be destroyed. Cieloworks is unable to provide specific test result information or advocate on your behalf.
