Products and Services
- INTERCEPT Blood System for Platelets and Plasma: This variant of the INTERCEPT Blood System is specifically designed to inactivate pathogens present in platelets and plasma donated for transfusion purposes. By targeting these components, Cerus Corporation aims to significantly reduce the risk of transmission of blood-borne diseases through transfusions.
- INTERCEPT Blood System for Red Blood Cells: Similar to its counterparts for platelets and plasma, this system is engineered to inactivate pathogens in red blood cells intended for transfusion. Given the essential role of red blood cells in carrying oxygen to the body's tissues, ensuring their safety is critical for patient care.
- INTERCEPT Blood System for Cryoprecipitation: This system utilizes the INTERCEPT plasma system to produce pathogen-reduced cryoprecipitated fibrinogen complex. It is aimed at the treatment and control of bleeding, including massive hemorrhage associated with fibrinogen deficiency. This application not only enhances the safety of using cryoprecipitate but also addresses critical medical situations where time and safety are of the essence.
- Pathogen Reduced Plasma, Cryoprecipitate Reduced: By applying its proprietary technology, Cerus Corporation provides pathogen-reduced plasma and cryoprecipitate solutions. These products are pivotal for patient care in situations requiring plasma or fibrinogen complex, further underscoring the company's contribution to safer transfusion practices.
