INTERCEPT Blood System for Plasma - Although bacterial contamination is not common for plasma, studies performed using representative gram-negative and gram-positive organisms demonstrated efficacy of the INTERCEPT process for bacterial inactivation. In addition, studies demonstrated inactivation of two spirochete bacteria, Treponema pallidum, for which blood is currently tested, and Borrelia burgdorferi. Studies were carried out with these organisms because they are known to be asymptomatically present in the blood during chronic infections. Bacteria, which have been shown to be inactivated, are listed below:
