摘要:
A method for the removal of psoralens and psoralen degradation products is disclosed. The method of the present invention is useful for any biological fluid that has been treated with psoralens, including blood and blood fractions and components derived therefrom. Biological fluids treated according to the method of the present invention are substantially free from any residual psoralens or psoralen degradation products.

Light arrays for use in systems for separating and irradiating blood are disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, the light array has one or more bulbs with electrical connecting leads and first and second support members connected to the bulbs. The second support member preferably includes a connector for receiving the electrical leads. The support members preferably define an end surface and an interior surface, wherein the support members are disposed adjacent the bulbs so the end surfaces are opposed to define a channel, providing a space where tubing carrying blood or other fluids can be disposed without interfering with the array. The bulbs are most preferably attached to the support members using flexible self-locking straps, and in embodiments using two or more bulbs, the bulbs are also preferably held together by one or more straps. Improved mounting systems for connecting the array to the instrument by one or more spring mounts are also disclosed. In certain preferred embodiments, one of the support members is a circuit board and includes a microcircuit for controlling the operation of the array using a clock/timer circuit for determining a total time of activation for the array, whereby upon reaching a predetermined value of the total time of activation, the clock/timer circuit disables the light array. Thus, methods of controlling the output of an array of bulbs are also disclosed.

The DRAM cell of the invention comprises a structure wherein a deep trench is formed on a silicon wafer, a stacked trench capacitor is formed around a silicon pillar associated with the trench, and a vertical transfer transistor is formed on top of the silicon pillar after the formation of the stacked trench capacitor. The transfer transistor is connected to the storage capacitor through a selectively doped n.sup.+ diffused layer, and isolation between DRAM cells is formed by the trench.

A multicomponent fluid separation and irradiation system is described containing a centrifuge drum and a source of radiant energy located within the drum. In a first embodiment a disposable rigid separation/irradiation chamber is provided with a cylindrical outer compartment located within the drum and opposing the radiant energy source. Whole blood is supplied to the chamber through a dynamic seal located at the center of the chamber. As the chamber is rotated, blood is separated so that energy from the source passes through the inner wall of the chamber and the separated plasma layer to irradiate the buffy coat layer. In a second embodiment, one or both of the walls of the outer compartment of the chamber are flexible so that the chamber will expand as blood is pumped in and will collapse as blood is pumped out.

A floor cleaner device is described comprising a rolling support on which is mounted a tiltable handle that can be secured in various angular positions during use by means of a set of solenoid actuated locking pins which engage a set of bores defined on the handle frame. During use, the device is balanced between a first set of wheels and a rotatable cleaning element. A second set of wheels is maintained in an elevated position by the handles during use and out of contact with the floor surface which is being cleaned. To conserve space during storage and when not in immediate use, the device may be positioned in an upright position and stable manner by tilting the handle to a vertical position and engaging the actuated pins into the appropriate bores to effect upright positioning. This tilt configuration will lower the second set of wheels into contact with a floor surface, and balance the device between the two sets of wheels, and consequently the device will occupy less space.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for continuous, on-line monitoring of extracorporeal blood in a blood path. A shell has a blood inlet port, a blood outlet port and two compartments: a blood compartment and a plasma compartment separated by a semi-permeable membrane that allows plasma to pass, but not red blood cells. Blood flows through the blood compartment and transmembrane pressure is applied between the blood and the plasma compartments causing the plasma inside the plasma compartment to be replaced by fresh plasma that is flowing through the blood compartment. Any color change of the plasma in the plasma compartment can be detected.
