International Classification:

B01D063/08
B01D063/16

US Classification:

21032168, 210324, 2103801, 422101

Abstract:

A fluid filtering device includes a plurality of filtering wells and an angling mechanism which adjusts the angle of the membranes within the filtering wells relative to a line of a centrifuge where the line is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of a centrifuge and passes through the center of a major plane of the filtering device. The angling mechanism can include a wedge located between the center of rotation of a centrifuge and a swinging bucket of the centrifuge. The angling mechanism can also be located within each filtering well and can provide individually specified angles for each membrane, relative to the line of the centrifuge.

International Classification:

B01D 1902
B01D 3600

US Classification:

210315

Abstract:

A blood reservoir for the treatment and collection of blood from two different sources. The blood reservoir has a filter/defoamer core assembly comprised of a support structure disposed within an outer defoamer. A separator with an opening is located in the support structure, dividing the support structure into a first and second portions. A depth filter is located within the first portion of the support structure. The first portion of the support structure with the depth filter forms a cardiotomy blood chamber and the second portion with no depth filter forms a venous blood chamber. This filter/defoamer core assembly is placed within a clear outer shell which forms the reservoir. This outer shell has a cover with a venous blood inlet and plurality of cardiotomy inlets. The cardiotomy inlets are in fluid communication with the cardiotomy blood chamber. The venous blood inlet is in communication with a center tube which extends through the first portion of the support cage, through the opening in the separator and opens into the venous blood chamber.

US Classification:

210636

Abstract:

A filtration module of tubular members in series and method of preparing same. The tubules are arranged in series and are joined by a unitary header plate together with a single end plate. This construction eliminates the need for multple components used in the prior art devices thus reducing construction and maintenance costs and opportunities for leakage, and provides for faster and more effective cleaning.
