WARNING:
All materials containing platelets or plasma (including tubing) must
be placed within the large compartment of the illuminator tray for
adequate treatment to occur. The INTERCEPT Blood System is
validated with unimpeded light transmission through the tray and
the illumination container with the blood component. No labels or
other material should be on this area. Labels should be placed on
the illumination container flap only. The tray must be clean. The
illumination container should not be folded.
NOTE:
Chamber locations are embossed on the tray. Chamber 1 is the
front compartment. Chamber 2 is the rear compartment. The left-
hand side of each chamber is the illumination side, marked by a
sun symbol.
8. Place the illumination container, marked with the number 1,
into the front illumination chamber 1, in the left-hand side of the
tray.
9. Secure the container flap onto the plastic hook in the tray.
10. Put the tubing from the illumination container in the slot of the
divider. Make sure that the sealed tubing containing blood
product is within the left-hand side of the chamber.
WARNING:
The tubing containing the blood product mixed with amotosalen
must be held within the left-hand side of the chamber where
illumination occurs. Platelet or plasma product in the tubing which
is not entirely within the area receiving illumination will not be
pathogen inactivated.
