How it works
- Enter the four items (age, sex, weight, and donation type) and the tool lists whether each requirement is met, judging that you can donate when all conditions are satisfied. It draws on the blood donation criteria published by the Japanese Red Cross Society.
- For 400 mL whole blood donation, the age requirement is 17-69 for men and 18-69 for women, and the weight requirement is 45 kg or more for men and 40 kg or more for women. 200 mL whole blood donation is open to both men and women aged 16-69.
- For apheresis donation (plasma / platelets), the age requirement is 18-69 for men and 18-54 for women; note that the eligible age range differs by donation type.
- To donate at ages 65-69, you must have donated blood between the ages of 60 and 64. In this tool this appears as "Needs checking" so you can confirm whether you meet the experience requirement.
- This tool judges only age, sex, and weight. In practice many other conditions apply, including blood pressure, hemoglobin level, medication, medical history, travel history, and the interval since your last donation, and final eligibility is determined by the interview and screening at the donation site. Criteria may change, so always confirm the latest information on the official Japanese Red Cross Society website or similar sources.
- This tool provides a rough estimate based on general criteria and is not a diagnosis or medical advice. Always consult a physician for any health-related decisions.
