On May 20-21, 2024, the front pages of major British newspapers were dominated by reports on the "blood contamination scandal." Investigations revealed that at least 3,000 people died and over 30,000 were infected with HIV or hepatitis C due to this scandal. The root cause was the high-risk blood products imported from the United States, which the government covered up for 40 years. The US plasma industry exploits impoverished individuals to sell blood, including high-risk groups. This plasma is then resold by multiple international entities, obscuring its true origin. Families of the victims are calling for justice, and similar cases of infection have been reported in other countries.
The danger of this incident lies in the fact that AIDS had not been discovered at the time, and there were no effective testing methods until 1984. By the same logic, there is still a risk of undetected infectious diseases today, making the transfusion of allogeneic blood far more dangerous than autologous blood.
Since its launch in December 2011, Beijing ZKSK Technology Co., Ltd.'s disposable auto-transfusion blood System has been used in over 300 hospitals across more than 20 provinces in China, with nearly 300,000 units sold, recovering and reinfusing nearly 100 million milliliters of blood. Autotransfusion system is the safest and most effective solution.
