Mirasol® Pathogen Reduction
Technology System

Riboflavin and UV light pathogen reduction for platelets, plasma, and whole blood — protecting patients from transfusion-transmitted infections.

Mirasol PRT System

Safer Blood.
Simpler Process.

The Mirasol system uses riboflavin (vitamin B2) combined with ultraviolet light to reduce pathogenic microorganisms and inactivate white blood cells in donated blood components — with fewer processing steps than comparable methods.

  • Clinically shown to reduce transfusion-transmitted disease incidence
  • Uses non-toxic, non-mutagenic riboflavin (vitamin B2)
  • Applicable to platelets, plasma, and whole blood
  • Fewer processing steps than comparable pathogen reduction methods
  • Maintains blood product efficacy post-treatment
  • CE marked — available in select international markets
  • Integrated Mirasol Manager software for data management and reporting
  • Addresses emerging transfusion-related infection risks
