Is it true that platelet apheresis machines separate platelets from a donor's blood by centrifugation and return the remaining blood components to the donor?

Yes. A Cleveland Clinic reference states that apheresis uses a centrifuge machine to draw and spin blood, set aside certain elements, and return the remaining blood cells, platelets and plasma to the body. A peer-reviewed UK platelet production review also confirms plateletpheresis uses apheresis machines.
