  • Patent number: 7232418
    Abstract: An integrated module for extracorporeal blood treatment has a flat-shaped support element which exhibits on an internal face thereof a complex of fluid distribution lines and on an external face thereof a high-flow dialyzer. The support element has a base body which exhibits fixture seatings, each of which houses an axially extended tract of a fluid distribution line. The tract of the fluid distribution line, with respect to adjacent tracts, has an increased diameter due to the presence of a junction collar made of a rigid material. Each fixture seating exhibits two axial locators for positioning the axially extended tract of a fluid distribution line in a fixed position. The locators interact with the junction collar, and the distribution lines can be fixed to the base body by a resilient fixture of the junction collars in the seatings without gluing. The module is configured to be mounted on an apparatus for intensive treatment of renal insufficiency.

    Abstract: An integrated module for extracorporeal blood treatment comprises a flat-shaped support element which exhibits on an internal face thereof a complex of fluid distribution lines and on an external face thereof a high-flow dialyzer. The support element comprises a base body (1) which exhibits fixture seatings (2), each of which houses an axially extended tract (38) of a fluid distribution line. The tract of line, with respect to adjacent tracts, has an increased diameter which is caused by a junction collar (39) made of a rigid material. Each fixture seating exhibits two axial locators (3a, 3b) for positioning the axial tract of line in a fixed position. The locators (3a, 3b) interact with the junction collar (39). The distribution lines are fixed to the base body (1) by a resilient fixture of the junction collars (39) in the seatings, with no necessity of gluing. The module is destined to be mounted on an apparatus for intensive treatment of renal insufficiency.
