Approval for engineering changes to the UVAR(R) Photopheresis System including the following: 1) Replacing the obsolete Haemotronics centrifuge assembly with the current generation Haemotronics centrifuge assembly that includes an optical detector; 2) Replacing the electronic roller pumps and mechanical clamps with a pneumatically-driven fluid management system, including the cassette, fluid logic module and fluid logic controller; 3) Modifying the Photoceptor(R) photoactivation chamber; 4) Redesigning the treatment kit; and 5) Redesigning the user interface and system software. The device is indicated for use in the ultraviolet-A (UVA) irradiation, in the presence of the photoactive drug methoxsalen (8-methoxypsoralen or 8-MOP), of extracorporeally circulating leukocyte-enriched blood, in the palliative treatment of the skin manifestations of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), in persons who have not been responsive to other therapy.
