Abstract: A device, system and method for killing viruses in blood. An iontophoretic terminal delivery system includes a smart catheter, aleated electrode within the smart catheter, a terminal and an electrical system. Ultrasound cannulation is used to guide the smart catheter of the iontophoretic terminal delivery system into a vein of the patient. Electrical power is provided to the aleated electrode of the smart catheter, thereby releasing positively charged ionized silver nanoparticles into the blood stream that attract negatively charged viruses in order to effectively destroy them. The smart catheter includes two micro fluid chips, a Lab On Chip that counts viral loads as well as patient progress in real time, and a Polymerase Chain Reaction chip, which checks for other viruses or infections. Collected data is passed to the terminal where it is stored and made available in a digitized format. Together these chips form a redundant biosensing system.

Abstract: A device, system and method for killing viruses and bacteria in blood. An iontophoretic cartridge destroys blood borne viruses and bacteria using ionized silver nanoparticles. Blood from the arm of the patient is routed to a holding bladder. From the bladder, the blood is pumped to the iontophoretic cartridge. In the cartridge, the blood is split into four tubes containing silver nanowires that treat the blood and destroy the viruses as they flow through the cartridge. The blood is then rerouted to the patient's arm.
