I have previously donated my plasma at xxxx pharma plasma center here in Denver several times with out a single issue. I had made a switch to Grifols to take advantage of there new Downer pay outs. This proved to be a very negative experience with very bad results. My first donation was smooth with out issue. Second was a failure with reposition attempts and multiple restricts. Left the center with both arms wrapped in ice packs and a return of blood failure. The reposition attempts seemed extreme with the so called vain specialist cranking the needle sideways creating the needle area to swell significantly. They sent an other employee to insert a new needle into my other arm. He seemed to be uncopident and had a so called vain specialist direct him which vain he should use. The needle looked to be placed a bit on the deep side and after about 10 minutes the location swelled up. They pulled the needle without a full blood return. Both my arms in countered bruising that took a week and a half to go away. I went back after I got rid of the bruising to have yet again a failure that required reposition attempts and three restricts. After spending an other week plus using ice and heat to cure the bruising. I went back to give a donation to find out they put me on a list that required me to be reviewed by there vain specialist. They acted as if there was a problem with my veins and told me to do exercises and come back in a week and a half. This left me frustrated and they acted as if I was the problem. I returned to xxxx pharma and had a completely smooth donation with no issues. My personal experience with Grifols was very bad. Multiple times with bruising and trauma to my arms. The team on the floor seemed to me as lacking compliance and having issues with inserting the needle correctly. I did not ever feel like that when I donated at Octo pharma. Never a issue with them missing a vain or leaving there center bruised.
