The EFS distributes approximately 330,000 units of platelets annually across 13 regional centers in continental France and overseas territories. The INTERCEPT Blood System for platelets has been used in France since 2006, with broader nationwide adoption following a nationwide rollout in 2017. INTERCEPT is also used throughout French overseas territories, including La Réunion, Guadeloupe, and Martinique. Implementation in those island territories was driven by the need to maintain a safe platelet supply during outbreaks of chikungunya, dengue and Zika in these tropical regions.
