    摘要: A control system for controlling a quantity of blood in a blood reservoir (10) of a perfusion system supplied by a venous line (V), wherein a pump (20) circulates blood from the blood reservoir (10) through an outgoing line (A), comprises a venous flow sensor (22) to measure a venous blood flow rate, an outlet flow sensor (24) to measure an outgoing blood flow rate, and a controller to control the pump (20) to prevent the outgoing blood flow rate from exceeding the venous blood flow rate. Thereby, a decrease of blood in the blood reservoir (10) can be arrested.

    摘要: A control system controlling the line pressure in a blood supply system (1) in which a pump (14) pumps blood from a reservoir (10) via a primary passage (18) toward a plurality of outlets (16, 26, 26a), wherein one or more outlets are openable to permit flow and closable to block flow, said control system comprises a monitoring arrangement to determine a line pressure in the primary passage, and a controller responsive to the monitoring arrangement and controlling the pump (14) to maintain the line pressure in the primary passage (18) above a pre-set level. The control system practically eliminates the risk of a momentary reduction in blood supply line pressure when an outlet is opened.

    摘要: A clamp arrangement for retaining a flexible tube (18) during operation of a roller pump (10) for pumping fluid, the clamp arrangement comprising a pair of rotatable bobbins (24A, 24B, 26A, 26B) mounted adjacent to each other. Each bobbin (24A, 24B, 26A, 26B) has a tapered groove (30), formed partially around a cylindrical surface of the bobbin (24A, 24B, 26A, 26B), and counter rotation of the bobbins (24A, 24B, 26A, 26B) clamps the tube 18 between the bobbins (24A, 24B, 26A, 26B) in the tapered grooves (30). The clamp arrangement allows tubes of different shapes and diameters to be securely held without overly deforming the tube.

    摘要: An exhaust gas flow control system for an oxygenator of an extracorporeal ventilation system connected to an oxygenation gas supply line and to an exhaust line for removal of exhaust gas comprises a flow control path, a pressure control path, an exhaust flow regulator responsive to the controller, and an exhaust gas pressure regulator responsive to a controller configured to maintain a pre-determined pressure level in the exhaust line. This provides a better degree of control over the pressure across the oxygenator from oxygenation gas inlet to exhaust.

    摘要: A clamping mechanism (30) for clamping a flexible tube comprises two rotatable bobbins (22, 32), each with a tube-engaging surface portion (24) defining boundaries of: a free space through which a tube may extend. The shape of: the tube-engaging surface portion (24) changes around the bobbin circumference, such that axial rotation of the bobbins (22, 32) reduces the free space and thereby squeezes the tube. This allows the flow through the tube to be altered dependent on the rotation of: the bobbins.

    摘要: A control system controlling blood gas values in blood processed by an oxygenator, wherein the oxygenator generates arterial blood by exposing venous blood to oxygen from an oxygenation gas supply, comprises a monitoring arrangement to determine a level of the blood gas values in the arterial blood and a controller that is responsive to the monitoring arrangement and configured to control parameters of the oxygenation gas supply to the oxygenator. This allows the blood gas values to be adjusted toward a pre-determined level.
