    摘要: The spray dried plasma by the nature of its characteristics and the process by which it is made allows for a dried plasma with reduced pathogens. It has at least three aspects of pathogen reduction that results in a plasma product with reduced or no pathogens. The first aspect relates to a spray drying disposable and machine that eliminates or minimizes the introduction of pathogens into the spray drying process and is referred to as the anti-contamination process. The second aspect of pathogen reduction relates to the spray drying process and parameters that reduces pathogens that may be present in the donor plasma, and/or inhibit pathogen growth and/or pathogen proliferation introduced by the donor plasma. The third aspect results in reduced pathogens occurring during storage of the dried plasma wherein the manufacturing and storage conditions are such that pathogens are reduced, and/or pathogen growth and/or pathogen proliferation are inhibited.

    摘要: An operational unit for locating and neutralizing pathogen cells in blood includes a cassette which has a plurality of thin holding chambers that are filled with blood drawn from a patient. A light source illuminates the holding chambers and passes light to an underlying sensor array such that the cells in the blood selectively block the light to produce shadow images of the cells. A processor performs pattern recognition to locate the pathogen cells by use of an image library. After the pathogen cells are located, a source of ultraviolet light is activated and UV light is passed through selectively controlled shutters to illuminate only the limited areas that have the identified pathogen cells. Sufficient ultraviolet light energy is applied to destroy the identified cells. A pump refills the cassette holding chambers, returns the neutralized-pathogen blood to the patient, and the process is repeated.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a pathogen inactivation method, which is low-frequency sonication together with illumination of a photosensitizer-containing blood sample; and the low-frequency sonication is conducted at a frequency of 15-500 KHz. Through the combination of sonication and photochemical pathogen inactivation technology that enhance and complement each other, the blood pathogen inactivation method provided by the present disclosure enhances a pathogen inactivation effect, reduces a dosage of the photosensitizer, photosensitizer-related blood quality damage, energy demand for the illumination, and pathogen inactivation treatment time, increases the blood illumination thickness for effective pathogen inactivation, saves illumination bag materials, shortens the size of illumination equipment, saves costs, and helps the pathogen inactivation technology go to the market.
