    Abstract: A system and method for reducing pathogens in a biological fluid such as whole blood or blood-derived products includes a pump configured to propagate the fluid through a serpentine-shaped flow path while exposing the fluid to UV irradiation. Extensive mixing of flow is accomplished by causing the pump to vary the flow of fluid. In embodiments, the pump may be operated to periodically switch the flow back and forth between a high flow rate and a slow flow rate. Alternatively, the pump may be periodically stopped or even cause the flow to reverse direction for short periods of time.

    Abstract: A system for reducing pathogens in a biological fluid such as whole blood or blood-derived products includes a pump configured to propagate the fluid through a serpentine-shaped flow path while exposing the fluid to UV irradiation. Extensive mixing of flow is accomplished by a pump control system programmed to cause the pump to vary the flow of fluid. In embodiments, the pump may be automatically operated to periodically switch the flow back and forth between a high flow rate and a slow flow rate. Alternatively, the pump may be periodically stopped or even cause the flow to reverse direction for short periods of time.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for pathogen reduction in blood by illuminating with UV light while taking steps for preservation of blood components and reducing oxidative damage from reactive oxygen species generated during UV light exposure. Fresh whole donor blood or products derived therefrom may be submitted to UV light treatment while in a low oxygenation state defined by a partial oxygen pressure below a normal level. Such low oxygenation state occurs naturally shortly after blood collection or may be induced by exposure to low-oxygen environment, reducing temperature or by other disclosed steps.

    Abstract: The systems and methods for pathogen reduction in donor blood operates by exposure of blood to UVC irradiation. Unwanted wavelengths of light, mostly in the infrared spectra, may be precluded from reaching blood by providing a layer of IR-absorbing fluid positioned between blood and the source of UV irradiation, whereby minimizing energy absorption and heating of blood. Some embodiments further disclose a system configured to utilize the same IR-absorbing fluid to actively cool blood by flowing along the flow path thereof.
