Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for treating a biological fluid with light and for inactivating contaminants in biological fluid. The biological fluid is contacted with a light source providing a high intensity light to the biological fluid. The biological fluid may include a quantity of a photochemical agent that when activated by light is operable to cause inactivation of at least some of the contaminants.

Abstract:
Apparatus (10) and methods for treating a biological fluid with light and for inactivating contaminants in biological fluid. The biological fluid is contacted with a light source providing a high intensity light to the biological fluid. The biological fluid may include a quantity of a photochemical agent that when activated by light is operable to cause inactivation of at least some of the contaminants. The apparatus (10) includes a housing (12) having a cover (14), a midportion (16), and a bottom portion (18).
Abstract:
Aparato (70) para inactivar contaminantes de un fluido biológico, que comprende: - una primera fuente luminosa de alta intensidad (96) para proporcionar luz con una intensidad de al menos 80 mW/cm2 en un rango de longitudes de onda de entre 550 y 700 nm; - una segunda fuente luminosa de alta intensidad (96) para proporcionar luz con una intensidad de al menos 80 mW/cm2 en un rango de longitudes de onda de entre 550 y 700 nm; y - una zona de tratamiento de fluidos (100) situada entre dichas fuentes luminosas primera y segunda, estando cada una de las mencionadas fuentes luminosas separada de dicha zona de tratamiento de fluidos por una ventana (120) que transmite sustancialmente la luz en dicho rango de longitudes de onda aunque no transmite sustancialmente luz no deseada seleccionada.
