Blood Donation: Ph and WB?

I just got back a card after donating two weeks ago that had WB: 1 and
Ph: 0 on it.
What it WB and Ph? And what is a good number range to be in in those categories?

WB should be standing for "Whole Blood" as you are donating blood and everything with it. There are organizations that take just plasma, and less common they can take out just the blood cells (not sure why they do that, not looking right now, but putting extra cells back in blood is what you may know as 'blood doping')

It may just be noting that you donated one unit of whole blood.

Not very sure about the 'Ph' but it might have something to do with Phosphates in blood. Though the number doesn't help there. And I could be completely wrong there.
