Pathogen reduction system MIRASOL®




A proactive approach to improving blood safety

No matter where you are, increased travel, climate change, evolving pathogens, emerging pandemics and the need to advance healthcare practices have put global blood safety at the forefront of the industry.
With all these changes, it's time to take a proactive approach to protect patients from the potential dangers of donated blood.
The Mirasol PRT system can help you do this by reducing the pathogen load of a wide range of disease-causing viruses, bacteria and parasites.
The system also inactivates residual white blood cells found in blood components, which can help reduce transfusion reactions in patients.

The right balance for better blood

We believe that improved blood safety should provide an appropriate balance between efficacy and ease of use, while maintaining the quality of blood components for patients who need them. The Mirasol PRT system is a simple system that has the power to provide better patient care while reducing the risks associated with the gift of blood salvage.
The Mirasol PRT system treatment can be used as an alternative to some safety procedures without introducing new risks for operators or patients. Treatment with the Mirasol PRT system can help reduce product waste for blood centres and reduce the total cost of transfusion for hospitals.
The right way to advance blood safety: safe, simple, effective. The Mirasol PRT system uses a combination of riboflavin (vitamin B2), a non-toxic, non-mutagenic compound and a specific ultraviolet (UV) light spectrum to inactivate viruses, bacteria, parasites and white blood cells that may be present in collected blood products.

The Mirasol PRT system consists of three main components:

• A disposable set - includes an illumination/storage bag and sterile riboflavin solution
• Mirasol Illuminator - provides UV light and agitation for Mirasol treatment
• Mirasol Manager software-integrates and manages data reporting and storage

During treatment, a blood product is mixed with the riboflavin solution and placed in the illuminator, where it is exposed to UV light. There is no need to remove riboflavin or its photoproductive products; after illumination, the treated products are prepared for transfusion or storage.





The Mirasol PRT system causes irreversible changes to the RNA and DNA of viruses, bacteria, parasites and white blood cells, preventing them from reproducing and causing disease. Riboflavin + UV light = irreversible inactivation of pathogens and white blood cells

The process in three simple steps: platelets, plasma and now whole blood
