Patient Notification System

The Patient Notification System is a free, confidential, 24-hour communication system designed to provide plasma product consumers, health care professionals, and patient family members with timely, automatic updates about plasma product withdrawals and recalls from all participating manufacturers. Led by the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA), the Patient Notification System was developed by the producers and distributors of plasma products in direct response to consumer requests.

The Immune Deficiency Foundation was instrumental in the development of the Patient Notification System and encourages patients and professionals to enroll in the program.

To access the Patient Notification System, call 1-888-UPDATE-U (1-888-873-2838) or register online at www.patientnotificationsystem.org. Once you are registered, you will automatically be notified of any product recalls or withdrawals via telephone, fax, e-mail or overnight letter, depending on your indicated preference.
