Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP)

Amicus Blue Procedure Option

The ECP protocol is an expanded indication for the Amicus Blue System, utilizing Amicus MNC collection technology and the Phelix Photoactivation Device.

Phelix Photoactivation Device

Bi-directional communication between the Amicus Separator and Phelix Device allow for easy control of the system.

The Amicus Separator’s single-use disposable kit combined with the Phelix Photoactivation Device create an online, closed system to perform photopheresis. The patient remains connected to the Amicus device throughout the procedure. After photoactivation, Amicus reinfuses the treated cells back to the patient.

The Amicus Blue ECP System provides reliable patient safety and comfort

  • Real-time fluid balance tracking
  • Automated Custom Prime for patients that have a lower total blood volume and/or lower hematocrit
  • Low extracorporeal kit volume (163 mL)
  • The 8-MOP injection site contains a 0.2-micron antimicrobial filter creating a functionally closed pathway in the disposable kit
  • Patient saline option to administer saline by gravity to keep access lines open
  • Disposable kit sterilization using irradiation to prevent the risk of reactions related to patient exposure to residual ethylene oxide

The Amicus ECP System is CE marked for distribution in Europe. It is not cleared for market in the United States.
