The Mirasol PRT system for pathogen reduction of platelets and plasma: an overview of current status and future trends

Raymond P Goodrich et al. Transfus Apher Sci. 2006 Aug.

Abstract

The safety of blood transfusion is still threatened by contamination of blood products with a variety of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites. A novel pathogen reduction process for platelets and plasma products, the Mirasol PRT system, has been developed and is under clinical evaluation for its efficacy and safety. The Mirasol PRT process is based on riboflavin photochemistry. This manuscript reviews current progress and future trends.
