Abstract
The invention relates to a method for inactivating pathogens such as bacteria and viruses and/or leucocytes in thrombocyte concentrations by irradiation in flexible containers with ultra-violet light using agitation. The blood product is packaged in a flexible bag to permit the intermixing of the fluid by agitation (tilting, rotation, translation). This is also promoted by the filling of the bag to a maximum 30% of the filling capacity.
