  • the plasma separated by the plasma separation filter 100 can be delivered to the first absorption filter 310a via the internal diaphragm through-hole 210 formed at the bottom of the internal diaphragm 200. At this time, the plasma separated by the plasma separation filter 100 can be collected at the bottom because of its own weight.
  • the internal diaphragm through-hole 210 is formed at the bottom of the internal diaphragm 200, the plasma can be more efficiently delivered to the first absorption filter 310a.
  • the plasma which entered the bottom of the first absorption filter 310a, moves upwardly and can be discharged outside of the housing 400 via the plasma outlet 412 after passing through the separation member 600 and the second absorption filter 320a consecutively.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un appareil permettant de purifier le sang, lequel appareil comprend un filtre de séparation de plasma conçu pour séparer le plasma du sang; un diaphragme interne inséré entre le filtre de séparation de plasma et le filtre d'absorption de manière à recouvrir la paroi latérale du filtre de séparation de plasma; un filtre d'absorption pour filtrer le plasma, lequel filtre recouvre le filtre de séparation de plasma; et un boîtier couplé de manière à recouvrir le filtre d'absorption. Lorsque le sang s'écoule dans une partie interne, le plasma passe séparément à travers la paroi latérale et les cellules sanguines qui doivent être déchargées passent à travers l'autre côté interne. L'appareil comprend également un trou traversant de diaphragme interne ménagé dans une paroi latérale du diaphragme interne à travers lequel passe le plasma, et un orifice de sortie du plasma dans une paroi latérale du logement. La miniaturisation de l'appareil est obtenue par assemblage du filtre de séparation de plasma et du filtre d'absorption en un seul corps.
