Broad spectrum, robust pathogen reduction
The INTERCEPT Blood System for Platelets, pathogen reduction system, provides robust, broad spectrum reduction, reducing the risks of TTI, including sepsis.1 In addition, the number of T-cells is reduced to a level that potentially reduces the risk of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD).1
