    Abstract: The novel coronavirus COVID-19 has caused a worldwide pandemic of enormous proportions resulting in significant levels of morbidity and mortality, tremendous pressures on the healthcare system, personal freedoms and society, and an unprecedented impact on the economies of the United States and the world. There are still significant unknowns about this very contagious and deadly virus, and these unknowns are coupled with no natural immunity. A promising therapeutic strategy is the utilization/transfusion of convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients. There are, however, risks involved in such transfusions from residual virus and other adventitious viruses and bacteria. These risks can be minimized by the pathogen clearance of convalescent plasma units in a hospital setting. There is an immediate need for the rapid pathogen inactivation/clearance of convalescent plasma units from recovered COVID-19 patients.
