Blood bank urged to safeguard products
The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) proposed a range of corrective measures after it was discovered around 370 patients may have received incorrectly prepared blood products manufactured at the Irish Blood Transfusion Service’s (IBTS) Cork Centre.
Incorrectly irradiated blood products were given to unborn and premature babies and cancer patients in the Munster region between August 2003 and April 2004.
