Summary. To assess the viral safety of the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) intermediate purity factor VIII and IX concentrates, the liver function and viral status were assessed prospectively in 13 recipients. None developed hepatitis or seroconverted to HIV or HCV. This study provides additional evidence for the efficacy of dry heat treatment at 80°C for 72 h in preventing virus transmission by coagulation factor concentrates.
