Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Technology
  • Plasma Separation

Background:

  • Traditional on-line plasmapheresis requires two external circuits for plasma filtration and detoxification.
  • This double treatment process can be complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel "duomodule" filter arrangement for on-line plasmapheresis.
  • To assess the efficiency of the duomodule in integrating filtration steps and reducing treatment complexity.

Main Methods:

  • The duomodule, a single-equipment module with one external circuit, was designed and tested.
  • Separations were performed using aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions and human plasma.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The duomodule effectively decreased higher molecular substances in the feed solutions.
  • These removed substances significantly accumulated in the permeate solution within the module's external compartment.

    • Conclusions:

    • The duomodule arrangement offers a simplified and potentially more efficient approach to on-line plasmapheresis.
    • This integrated filtration system shows promise as a valuable tool for therapeutic apheresis.
