Latest Patents
Chi-Yong Chong's latest patents include a method for inactivating viruses in blood using chlorine dioxide. This closed system is designed for inactivating viruses in blood or blood components. It includes at least one plastic bag that communicates with a separate container containing a single viricidal substance or separate substances. When mixed, these substances generate a viricidal agent in situ. The viricidal substance can be transferred into the bag for subsequent use on blood components. A preferred system allows for the in-situ generation of ClO.sub.2 from sterilizable, separate substances for viricidal use on blood or blood components.
Another significant patent is a sterilizable system for blood storage. This improved heat sterilizable blood bag system is adapted for containing and mixing different materials originally placed in separate but potentially communicating compartments. The improvement features a smaller squeezable compartment for one material attached to a larger compartment for the other material. The contents of the smaller compartment are separated from the larger compartment by an externally manipulatable closure. When opened, this closure permits the mixture of the contents from both compartments when the smaller compartment is repeatedly squeezed.
