ABSTRACT:
A virus-infected body fluid is decontaminated as it is being collected, before it has had an opportunity to clot or thicken and before attending personnel are exposed to it, by introducing a suitable viricidal into the tubing through which the fluid is transported from the fluid source to a collection receptacle in an amount and concentration sufficient to substantially reduce the virus population in the collected fluid. In applications where suction is used to pull the fluid through the tubing, a venturi is used to draw a metered amount of liquid viricidal from a container into the tubing, and in cases when the fluid is transported by gravity, an in-line filter containing a suitable viricidal is connected in line with the tubing, the viricidal being leached from the filter by the fluid flowing through it. In both cases, the viricidal is thoroughly mixed with the fluid and continues to act on the collected fluid until its disposal.
