    摘要: A gas transfer apparatus readily adapted for oxygenating blood includes a housing with a hollow internal chamber having a fiber mat consisting of two sets of intermingled hollow fibers with one set of fibers having micropores formed in the walls thereof and the other set having solid liquid impermeable walls. The housing for the apparatus is designed such that the blood being processed passes substantially uniformly across the entire cross section of the fiber mat whereby a treating gas such as oxygen being directed through the microporous fibers can be diffused into the oxygen deficient blood while excess CO.sub.2 in the blood can cross diffuse into the interior of the fiber and be removed from the apparatus. Simultaneously with the cross diffusion of gas between the microporous fibers and the blood, a thermal conducting fluid such as water is passed through the solid walled fibers to maintain or regulate the temperature of the blood in the apparatus. The microporous and solid walled fibers may be woven in layers which are laminated to form a predetermined mat thickness separated by layers with only parallel fibers of a single set in each layer.

    摘要: A blood filter device for separating gas bubbles from a flow of blood includes a filter medium in a lower body portion of the device through which the blood must flow before being directed through an outlet tube. An upper cap sealed to the top of the lower body portion includes a blood inlet tube into which a conical dispersion plate is projected so as to decrease the rate of flow of the blood. The rate of flow further decreases as it enters a debubbling chamber in the cap. A top wall of the cap defines a sloped and arched channel around the inlet tube adapted to direct released gas toward a vent tube at the uppermost extent of the sloped top wall.

    摘要: A method of cleaning red blood cells which have been separated from undesirable components of blood in a centrifugal separating chamber includes the steps of pulsating a washing solution through the red blood cells in an alternating high flow rate/low flow rate sequence so as to alternately agitate the red cells for optimal cleaning and stabilize the red cells to prevent a flushing of the cells from the separation chamber.

    摘要: Micro-conduit with enhanced wetting characteristics for use in providing a blood heat exchanger apparatus with improved heat exchange capability. The micro-conduit comprises a plurality of elongated fibers, which may be made of a hydrophobic material such as polypropylene or polyethylene. Each fiber is open at two opposing ends, and has an inner surface between the open ends. The inner surface is coated with a wetting agent, such as phosphatidyl choline or another ampiphilic material with a hydrophilic end and a hydrophobic end. The fibers may have a shape and size that without presence of the wetting agent, would otherwise substantially impair free passage of water. The micro-conduit may be provided as a heat exchanger micro-conduit wrapping material, wherein micro-conduit fibers are attached to a thin flexible interconnect, such as woven netting, to maintain the fibers at predetermined spacings in substantially parallel alignment with each other. The wrapping material is wrapped about an elongated spindle to provide a generally cylindrical heat exchange core. Opposing first and second seals are created by applying potting compound between fibers proximate the spindle's first end and proximate the spindle's second end. After ends of the fibers are trimmed and sealed, a shell is placed around the core.
