摘要:
Method and device for extracorporeal treatment of blood to effectively remove toxins therefrom and from patients are disclosed. The method includes the steps of passing the blood and dialysate through a plate dialyzer (30) comprising a blood inlet (39), a blood outlet (40) and a dialysate inlet (29), a dialysate outlet (35) and the blood side is separated from the dialysate side by dialyzer membranes. The method also includes passing a sorbent suspension through dialysate side and applying alternating negative pressure and positive pressure on the dialysate side of the dialyzer via an accumulateur (22) to expand and contract dialyzer membranes and agitate the sorbent suspension to prevent settling and mix it to maintain chemical gradients across the membrane. A positive pressure gradient is maintained throughout the cycle from the blood side to the dialysate side of the dialyzer.

The invention relates to a method for balancing the amount of two liquids and a disposable based thereon for balanced conveyance of a filtrate and a substituent for a medical treatment device, consisting of two volumetric conveying units (roller pumps), which are alternately crossflown by the media to be balanced in a time symmetrical manner by means of appropriate control elements. The cyclic time symmetry makes it possible to totally eliminate all flow differences in both conduits in the sum. Both conveyed amounts are equal. In order to supress systematic errors, the pressure in the inlets and outlets of the volumetric conveying units is kept constant. A special switching regime Umschaltregime (mirror method) makes it possible to also eliminate time parameter changes in pump output as a balance error.

A hemodialysis system and method of operation includes providing a plasma separator (36), such as a centrifuge in a process control (34) to remove the plasma fluid from the red and white blood cells so that only the plasma fluid is subjected to the contaminant removal in a downstream dialyzer (48). This shortened by half the time required to perform a hemodialysis treatment a compared to conventional systems.

Blood separation systems and methods draw whole blood from a blood donor selected from a population of blood donors. The whole blood of the selected blood donor has a known hematocrit value that varies within the population of blood donors according to morphology of the selected blood donor. The systems and methods operate a pump in the inlet line to convey a volume of whole blood from the donor at a commanded flow rate for processing into plasma constituent and concentrated red blood cells. The systems and methods set the commanded flow rate to vary the volume of whole blood conveyed over time as a function of the known hematocrit value of the selected donor. The systems and methods obtain, after processing the whole blood volume, a targeted volume of concentrated red blood cells, which is substantially constant for the population of blood donors despite variances in known hematocrit values among the donors.

Blood separation systems and methods utilize a membrane separation device (52) comprising a gap (60) between a microporous membrane (64) and a surface (56) facing the microporous membrane (64), one of the microporous membranes (64) and the surface (56) being rotatable relative to the other to cause separation of whole blood in the gap (60) into plasma and concentrated red blood cells. The systems and methods include an inlet pump element (20) and a drive element (46) coupled to the membrane separation device (52) and the steps of commanding the inlet pump element (20) and the drive element (46) as a function of the known beginning hematocrit value to obtain concentrated red blood cells having a high end hematocrit value that remains substantially constant despite variances in the known beginning hematocrit value.

A chamber for rotation about a rotational axis to separate blood components includes first and second spaced apart side walls forming a separation zone. Blood conveyed into the separation zone separates into a first region of cellular components, a second region of plasma, and an interface region between the first and second regions. An outlet conveys the second region of plasma from the separation zone. An interior wall extends into the separation zone to permit passage of the second region of plasma to the outlet while retarding passage of the interface region and the first region of cellular components to the outlet. The tapered second surface has a major axis that is oriented at a non-parallel angle with respect to the axis of the outlet. Due to this orientation, the boundary between the interface region and the other two regions is held uniform along the tapered surface. The boundary does not bulge to spill materials in the first interface region or interface region over the first surface and into the constricted passage. As a result, the second region of plasma is kept essentially free of other materials.
