     7  center" shall not include single  donor  plasma  products  intended  for
     8  intravenous use.
     9    2-b.  "Plasmapheresis"  means  a  procedure  in which, during a single
    10  visit to the facility, blood is removed from an individual,  the  source
    11  plasma  separated  from  the formed elements, and at least the red blood
    12  cells are returned to the donor.
    13    § 2. The public health law is amended by adding a new section 575-a to

    15    § 575-a. Source plasma donation centers. 1. A source  plasma  donation
    16  center  may collect source plasma through plasmapheresis, and may employ
    17  a person to perform total protein tests using digital refractometers, if
    18  the source plasma donation center and such person comply  with  all  the
    19  requirements  of federal law and regulations governing the collection of
    20  source plasma, including, but  not  limited  to,  laws  governing  staff
    21  supervision, training, and duties, including requirements for performing
    22  total  protein  tests  using  digital  refractometers in a source plasma
    23  donation center.
