Infection safety of donor plasma preparations
The list of infections, transmitted with blood in humans, is rather long, the viruses remaining the most hazardous agents, difficult to remove during manufacture. The author discusses safety measures used in the manufacture of plasma preparations, including all aspects of the problem: donor plasma testing for markers of the most prevalent infections, introduction of innovation technologies and special methods for pathogen inactivation, creation of new production capacities meeting the requirements of the good manufacturing practice (GMP), validation of technological stages, and ready preparations quality control.
