Mechanism of action

Cryoprecipitate is the cold-insoluble fraction of plasma containing high concentrations of fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor. The pathogen-reduction process uses solvent-detergent or photochemical treatment to inactivate viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens while maintaining the functional clotting proteins. This product is used to restore fibrinogen and other hemostatic factors in patients with deficiencies or consumption coagulopathy.
