NOVEL METHOD TO TREAT BLOOD ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE It is well known that the transfusion of human blood and blood components carries with it a substantial risk of transmission of AIDS and many other diseases. This disclosure describes a method of disinfecting red blood cells to make them safer for human transfusion, while maintaining their biologic activity. A sterilizing solution is prepared from, e.g., a commercially available disinfectant (LDtm Alcide Corporation) containing primarily lactic acid and sodium chlorite. Normal saline solution is used as diluent instead of distilled water. The red cells are exposed to the disinfectant for a time sufficient to inactivate or reduce the infectivity of disease agents. The normal-saline environment prevents or deters hemolysis. The blood cells are then washed with normal saline solution until the disinfectant concentration is insignificant. The blood is then safe for human transfusion.
