About us

INTERCEPT® Goes Beyond to protect patients, improve availability and deliver value. INTERCEPT treated platelets are the market leader, with the majority of the US platelet supply (over 1.4 million units) treated each year.* Pathogen Reduced Cryoprecipitated Fibrinogen Complex (INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex, IFC), produced from the INTERCEPT Blood System for Cryoprecipitation, is immediately available to treat and control bleeding associated with fibrinogen deficiency. Together, we… • Protect patients by providing broad-spectrum transfusion transmitted infection (TTI) risk reduction with the inactivation of bacteria, viruses, protozoans and leukocytes.** • Ensure earlier availability of blood components, resulting in younger, fresher platelets for transfusion and immediate availability of fibrinogen and other vital clotting factors when minutes matter.*** • Deliver value and operational efficiencies by providing one transfusion-ready inventory, eliminating waste and reducing costs associated with testing and risks of TTIs, sepsis and TA-GVHD. *Estimate for platelet units treated with the INTERCEPT Blood System is based on the number of kits sold per year and total apheresis collections. (Free RJ et al. Transfusion. 2023;1–11). **There is no pathogen inactivation process that has been shown to eliminate all pathogens. Certain non-enveloped viruses (e.g., HAV, HEV, B19 and poliovirus) and Bacillus cereus spores have demonstrated resistance to the INTERCEPT process. For a full list of pathogens, refer to package inserts. ***INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex is available for immediate use for up to 5 days when stored thawed; when stored frozen, requires thawing prior to use.

  • ICYMI, check out Dr. Stephanie Lim, MD’s presentation from #SOAPAM2024! Dr. Lim shares UCSF Health Mission Bay’s experience with Pathogen Reduced Cryoprecipitated Fibrinogen Complex, commonly referred to as INTERCEPT® Fibrinogen Complex (#IFC), and how IFC’s 5-day post thaw shelf life helps UCSF achieve treatment goals, decrease product waste and improve blood component availability for patients. IFC is an enriched source of fibrinogen, factor XIII, vWF, and other key clotting factors.

  • The CDC has issued a Level 1 Travel Health Notice for Oropouche fever in the Americas after outbreaks in parts of Brazil, Bolivia, Columbia, Peru, and Cuba(1). Two travel-related cases of Oropouche fever have also been reported in the US.(2) Oropouche is spread by the bite of infected midges and mosquitos, with symptoms similar to dengue, including fever and nausea. Possible cases of pregnant mother-to-child transmission of Oropouche with adverse pregnancy outcomes are under investigation.(1) AABB is currently conducting surveillance on this virus to understand its potential threat to transfusion safety.(3) 1.Oropouche Fever in the Americas.

  • In a recent publication in the journal Blood Advances, Wheeler et al. report on additional findings from the largest platelets transfusion study assessing pulmonary injury to date. This new analysis assesses the impact of transfusion intensity with pathogen reduced platelets* compared to conventional platelets on pulmonary injury requiring assisted mechanical ventilation in hematology-oncology patients. This patient population frequently requires platelet transfusion due to antineoplastic therapy to address the underlying disease. Read the open access publication here: https://lnkd.in/g3Gp_ekj #platelets #transfusion #patientsafety *Platelets treated with the INTERCEPT Blood System have not been approved by FDA for reducing the probability of assisted mechanical ventilation during platelet transfusion. See package insert (https://ow.ly/yTLo50SStfe) for full prescribing information. CONTRAINDICATIONS Contraindicated for preparation of platelet components intended for patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to amotosalen or other psoralens. Contraindicated for preparation of platelet components intended for neonatal patients treated with phototherapy devices that emit a peak energy wavelength less than 425 nm, or have a lower bound of the emission bandwidth less than 375 nm, due to the potential for erythema resulting from interaction between ultraviolet light and amotosalen. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Only INTERCEPT Processing Sets for platelets are approved for use in the INTERCEPT Blood System. Use only the INTERCEPT INT100 Illuminator for UVA illumination of amotosalen-treated platelet components. No other source of UVA light may be used. Please refer to the Operator’s Manual for the INT100 Illuminator. Discard any platelet components not exposed to the complete INT100 illumination process. Tubing components and container ports of the INTERCEPT Blood System contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is known to be released from PVC medical devices, and increased leaching can occur with extended storage or increased surface area contact. Blood components will be in contact with PVC for a brief period of time (approx. 15 minutes) during processing. The risks associated with DEHP released into the blood components must be weighed against the benefits of therapeutic transfusion. © 2024 Cerus Corporation.
