MANUAL PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING BLOOD COMPONENTS CONDITIONED FOR PATHOGEN INACTIVATION.

摘要

Systems and methods (10) manually process blood and blood components in sterile, closed environments, which further condition the blood components for subsequent pathogen inactivation processes. The systems and methods mate the manual collection of random donor platelet units with the creation of larger therapeutic doses of platelets targeted to undergo pathogen inactivation prior to long term storage and/or transfusion.
