What is the safety record of the INIS immunoglobulin?
The INIS immunoglobulin is one of the safest blood products known. It is sourced from voluntary donor plasma from the US and Germany after screening by medical history then PCR testing for HIV 1, 2 and Hepatitis A, B and C. In addition it is processed via recognised virus inactivation steps. It has an excellent safety record with only a small proportion of patients experiencing mild adverse reactions.
