Abstract
The present invention is directed to devices and methods that efficiently and safely kill pathogens in blood functions by the generation of metal ions in situ. Such metal ions include silver ions, copper ions, and gold ions; however, additional metals can be employed for generation of ions in situ, including platinum, iridium, and zinc. The activity of the devices and methods of the present invention is extremely broad, and can kill pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The activity of the devices and methods of the present invention does not depend on specific interactions between the device and the surface of the pathogen being killed. Additionally, the activity of the devices and methods is not subject to the development of resistance by the pathogen, such as can occur subsequent to the administration of conventional antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral agents.
