Abstract: A system for the extracorporeal elimination of carbon monoxide, includes at least one pump and a gas exchange chamber, wherein the at least one pump can be connected to the blood circulatory system of a person by way of a first tube section connectable to a cannula and is connected to a gas exchange chamber via a second tube section, wherein the system is configured to transfer blood, via the first tube section, from the blood circulatory system of the person by way of at least one pump into the gas exchange chamber, and to return the blood from the gas exchange chamber to the blood circulatory system of the person via the same first tube section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a device for material exchange between two mediums, in which at least one mat of semipermeable hollow fibres (3) is wound onto a winding core (2), which has at least one core opening (2a) in its outer surface for a first in- or out-flowing medium, and the winding core (2) is arranged in an axially extending housing (1) having at least one housing opening (1a) for the first in- or out-flowing medium and the axial end regions of the housing (1) are sealed by an adhesive (4) arranged around the hollow fibres (3), wherein at least one chamber region (5) surrounding the hollow fibres (3) is formed via the adhesion between the axial end regions (1b, 1c) of the housing (1) and between the winding core (2) and the housing (1), through which chamber region the first medium can flow via the core opening (2a) and the housing opening (1a), wherein the axial distance between the core opening (2a) and the housing opening (1a) is adjusted to a desired value of multiple possibl

Abstract: An oxygenator module for gas exchange between blood and a gas in an extracorporeal lung support system, with several layers of semipermeable, gas-perfusable hollow fibers, wherein the hollow fibers of one of the layers are oriented at an angle of rotation about a central longitudinal axis of the oxygenator module with respect to the hollow fibers of another one of the layers, and with a potting which extends along the central longitudinal axis and in which the hollow fibers are fixed, wherein the potting defines a cavity that extends along the central longitudinal axis and in which the hollow fibers are arranged and which is blood-perfusable in the direction of the central longitudinal axis, wherein the potting has an essentially circular inner sheath surface that limits the cavity radially outward; as well as a method for producing the oxygenator module.

Abstract: An exchanger device for transferring mass and/or energy between a first medium and a second medium includes a chamber having a first inlet and first outlet of the first medium and through which the first medium can flow. The chamber is equipped with at least one, preferably a plurality, of one mass- and/or energy-permeable exchanger hollow fibers connected at one end to a second inlet and at the other end to a second outlet of the second medium. The second medium can flow through the fiber(s) and the first medium can flow around the fiber(s). The chamber is equipped with at least one pump element for displacing the first medium in and out of the chamber in a pulsing manner. The pump element has an elastically deformable element, is connected to a third inlet of a third medium used as a driving medium, and is expandable by the third medium.
