Abstract
A closed system for inactivating viruses in blood or blood components. The system includes at least one plastic bag which communicates with a separate container including a single viricidal substance or separate substances which, when mixed, provide in situ generation of a viricidal substance. The viricidal substance can be transferred into the bag for subsequent viricidal use on blood components or for use on components in the bag. A preferred system provides a means for the in-situ generation of ClO.sub.2 from sterilizable, separate substances for viricidal use on blood or blood components.
