    摘要: A method and apparatus for filtering suspensions of medical and biological fluids, one aspect of which is separating a suspension comprising at least two types of particles which are differently sized or shaped and in which the first type of particle may be deformable at a relatively lower force and/or faster rate than the second type of particle. A filter member is provided having substantially precisely dimensioned pore sizes, with the pores being dimensioned to allow passage of the first type of suspended particle without distortion or only minimal distortion and passage of the second type of particle only with substantial distortion. Because the filter membrane has precisely dimensioned pores, with spacing between the pores being maintained despite the smaller interval between the pores, the porosity of the membrane may be much greater than nominal pore size membranes, allowing faster filtration rates and/or smaller membranes for a given filtration rate, while reducing the exposure time of the cells within the shear environment, and consequently reducing particle damage. Various methods for preventing clogging of the membrane are also disclosed.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for treating Hemophilia A or B which comprises implanting in fluid communication with the bloodstream of a mammal in need of such treatment a permeable membrane having one or more walls, a hollow chamber therewithin, a plurality of holes extending through the walls of the membrane and permitting fluid to enter and exit the chamber of the membrane, each of the holes being sized so that it is large enough to permit inactive Factor VII to enter the chamber of the membrane and activated Factor VIIa to exit the chamber of the membrane but small enough to prevent fibrinogen from entering the chamber of the membrane, a plurality of supports being disposed within the chamber, and an effective amount of a Factor VII activator or a source of the activator being bound to the supports, wherein inactive Factor VII in blood passing through the membrane becomes activated into Factor VIIa upon contact with the activator within the chamber. The present invention also provides a method for treating Hemophilia A or B extracorporeally. The present invention further provides methods for treating AIDS as well as permeable membranes for use in the methods above.

    摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for separating a suspension comprising at least two types of particles which are differently sized or shaped and in which the first type of particle may be deformable at a relatively lower force or faster rate than the second type of particle. A housing is provided having a generally cylindrical inner surface in which is mounted a rotor having a generally cylindrical outer surface. The outer surface of the rotor is spaced from the inner surface of the housing to define a suspension processing gap. A filter membrane is provided on the surface of the rotor or the housing that has pores with substantially precisely dimensioned shapes and sizes to correspond substantially to the shape of the first type of particle, thus allowing passage of the first type of particle and blocking passage of the second type of particle. A suspension is directed into the processing gap for either a selected residence time in contact with the filter membrane and/or at a selected force.

    摘要: Methods for reducing or preventing the transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy through blood or blood products are provided. The methods require the intact removal of leukocytes that are present in a blood product or an intermediate of a blood product prior to administering the blood product to a patient. To prevent or reduce the transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies disease substantially all leukocytes are removed intact without significant lysis of such leukocytes.
