Mirasol® — Pathogen inactivation system
Short description
Mirasol is a system for inactivating pathogens in blood products designed to enhance the safety of blood components and reduce the risk of transmission of infectious agents. The technology is based on the use of a photoactivatable reagent together with visible light, which effectively reduces the infectious potential of viruses, bacteria and parasites in plasma and platelets, while maintaining the functional qualities of the components.
The Mirasol system is designed for blood centers and transfusion services seeking to improve the safety standards of transfusion medicine.
Scope of application
- Blood Centers
- Transfusiology Services
- Clinical and diagnostic institutions
- Medical laboratories for processing blood components
Purpose and functions performed
Mirasol is designed to inactivate a wide range of pathogens in blood products, including:
- viruses;
- bacteria;
- parasites;
- potentially present microorganisms.
The system is applied to plasma and platelets, reducing the risk of infection during transfusions and protecting the recipient.
Key advantages
- Effective reduction of the infectious potential of pathogens
- Improving plasma and platelet safety
- Preservation of functional properties of blood components
- Improved preparation of components for clinical use
- Integration into transfusion medicine processes
