A method for eliminating a virucidal substance from a biological fluid comprising:
- passing the biological fluid through a filter medium produced from a naturally non-hydrophilic polymer or copolymer that has been treated by a chemical or physical method to produce a hydrophilic polymer or copolymer, the hydrophilic polymer or copolymer in the form of a membrane, capable of absorbing or adsorbing the virucidal substance and having a porosity that allows passage of the biological fluid through the filter medium.
