摘要:
The invention relates to an irradiation apparatus for inactivating pathogens and/or leukocytes in a biological fluid such as a platelet suspension and/or plasma comprising : a casing 2, a support member 3 for carrying at least one irradiation bag containing the biological fluid, a light source 4 comprising two banks of light 5,6 disposed above and below the support member 3, and an agitating system 25 for moving the support member 3, the light source generating UVC light of suitable intensity to inactivate pathogens and/or leukocytes and the agitation system moving the support member in an orbital path with predetermined with predetermined amplitude and rotational frequency suitable to expose the whole biological fluid to UVC.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a blood bag system and a process for reducing pathogens and leucocytes in quantities of therapeutic platelet concentrates (PC) contained in the blood bag system, using UV-light and agitation, wherein part of the plasma of the PC is optionally exchanged against a platelet additive solution.
