Bacterial ContaminationAABB STD 5.1.5.1 The blood bank or transfusion services shall have methods to limit and detect bacterial contamination in all platelet components.
Bacterial Risk at KCBB • 6,800 ApheresisPlatelets (~ 40,000 units). • 0.5 – 1 confirmed cases of sepsis per year.
Bacterial Detection • Scansystem • March 05 – May 07 • 26,000 units • eBDS Pall • June 07 – May 08 • 14,000 units • 10% of collection tested by culture as QC
Mitigation • Delay of component release (2 days) • Complexity of procedures • Results: • False positives (0.2 %) • False negatives (0.05%) • Safety?: • Did not prevent all septic transfusion reactions • Did change the risks of bacterial contamination.
Why is Pathogen InactivationImportant? • Reduced risk of bacterially contaminated platelet transfusion • Further closing of window period for screened viruses • Added protection against untested pathogens (e.g. Chagas) • Pro-active protection against emerging pathogens (e.g. Chikungunya, West Nile) • Possible reduction in adverse transfusion events • Potential to revisit donor deferral strategies and enlarge donor pool • Public expectation of ‘ZERO risk’
Platelet Pathogen Inactivation Systems • Intercept • Amotosalen + UV
Platelet Pathogen Inactivation Systems • Intercept • Mirasol • Riboflavin + UV
Platelet Pathogen Inactivation Systems • Intercept • Mirasol • Theraflex UV
Mechanism of Action UVA Illumination Amotosalen DNA or RNAof pathogen Crosslinking Intercalation
Amatosalen Cross links Both Single and Double Stranded Nucleic Acids Helical Regions Single-strandedDNA or RNA Double-strandedDNA or RNA
INTERCEPT Blood System for Platelets Integrated Processing Set 4 CAD 5 Storage 1 Collection 2 Amotosalen 3 Illumination UVA Illumination Device
Mirasol PRT System Overview • The MirasolPRT System uses riboflavin (vitamin B2)and UV light to inactivate pathogens, altering their nucleic acids so they cannot replicate.
Mechanism of Action • UV light + riboflavin: irreversible inactivation • Riboflavin molecules form complexes with nucleic acids • UV light from the Mirasol Illuminator activates the riboflavin molecule in the complex • Photoactivated riboflavin induces a chemical alteration to the functional groups (such as guanine bases) of nucleic acids making pathogens unable to replicate
MirasolPRT System Concept • Reduction of viruses, bacteria, parasites • Inactivation of residual white cell + + Riboflavin(Vitamin B2) solution Platelet or Plasma product UV Light
Theraflex • Methylen Blue and UV illumination device used as a technique for Pathogen Reduction
Pathogen Inactivation (INTERCEPT) Implementation • Training, March 2008 • Validation, May 2008 • 100 % Pathogen Inactivation of Platelets replaced 1st May 2008 • AABB inspection 15th May 2008
