A filter is included for filtering the organic fluid to be purified, arranged between the drawing line and the return line. A first pump is provided for pumping, along the extracorporeal circuits, the organic fluid to be purified and the purified organic fluid. A means for collecting and storing fluid residues filtered from the organic fluid to be purified, is connected to the filter via a collection line. The extracorporeal circuit includes an anti-thrombogenic covering.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2011Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: RAND S.R.L.Inventors: Corrado Bellini, Daniele Galavotti, Claudio Ronco
