Medicines made from human blood or plasma

When medicines are made from human blood or plasma, certain measures are taken to prevent the transmission of infections to patients. These include:

• careful selection of blood and plasma donors to ensure that those at risk of being carriers of infections are excluded,
• analysis of each donation and plasma volumes for signs of virus/infection,
• inclusion of steps to inactivate or eliminate viruses in the processing of blood or plasma.

Despite these measures, when medicines prepared from human blood or plasma are administered, the possibility of transmission of infections cannot be entirely excluded. This also applies to unknown or emerging viruses or other types of infections.

There are no reports of virus-related infections associated with albumin manufactured in accordance with the European Pharmacopoeia specifications and in compliance with established processes.
