With all this change, it’s time to take a proactive approach to protecting patients from the potential dangers of donated blood.
The Mirasol PRT system can help you do it by reducing the pathogen load of a broad range of disease-causing viruses, bacteria and parasites.
The system also inactivates residual white blood cells found in blood components, which may help to reduce transfusion reactions in patients.

Powerful, Proven and So Much Potential
The Mirasol PRT system is the only PRT system shown in a human clinical trial to reduce the transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI) of a disease, reducing TTI of malaria by 87 percent.

The Mirasol PRT System
You know better than anyone—these are challenging times. The Mirasol PRT system allows you to meet the needs of your business by optimizing the balance of cost, efficacy and safety of your blood products.

SAFE
The Mirasol PRT system is the only PRT system:
  • Shown to reduce incidence of a transfusion-transmitted disease in humans
  • That uses riboflavin (vitamin B2), a non-toxic, non-mutagenic compound, to inactivate pathogens and white blood cells
SIMPLE
The Mirasol process has fewer steps than other PRT methods and the device can be used to treat platelets, plasma and whole blood. This simplicity helps minimize the impact to operation
EFFECTIVE
The Mirasol PRT system is effective in protecting against a broad spectrum of emerging tested and untested pathogens, including bacteria, parasites, and enveloped and non-enveloped viruses; it also inactivates white blood cells, adding an extra layer of safety for patients. Blood products treated with the Mirasol PRT system maintain efficacy and help save patients’ lives.
AFFORDABLE
The Mirasol PRT system treatment can be used as an alternative to some safety procedures without introducing new risks for operators or patients.20,21,22 Treatment with the Mirasol PRT system can help reduce product discard rates for blood centers and reduce the overall cost of transfusion for hospitals
