After performing a blood count, will connect the patient to Cellex through a central or peripheral. 1500 mL typically be processed peripheral blood mononuclear fraction obtained by apheresis process. Then be added Uvadex (8-metoxipsolareno, 0.017 mL / mL) to the mononuclear fraction bag and proceed to photoactivation with UVA radiation. Finally the photoactivated product is again infuse the patient. It will monitor the final blood count to assess hemoglobin and platelets. The entire procedure is performed in a single step and closed mode, with Cellex.
