  • Patent number: 10518017
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an extracorporeal circuit for regional scoagulation of blood comprising a line for taking the blood from the patient, a first filtering unit, and a line for returning the blood to the patient defining a main circuit, the extracorporeal circuit comprising a secondary circuit for recirculation of the plasma water comprising: a calcium removal assembly adapted to provide a solution with low calcium content in said main circuit; the extracorporeal circuit further comprising: first means for the infusion of said solution with low calcium content into said main circuit upstream of said first filtering unit and of said calcium removal assembly with respect to the blood flow direction in the main circuit and second means for the infusion of an electrolytic re-establishment solution located downstream of said first means with respect to the direction of the blood flow in said main circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10434238
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an extracorporeal circuit for CO2 removal from blood comprising a line for taking blood from the patient, a decarboxylation assembly and a line for returning the blood to the patient; said decarboxylation assembly comprising a first filtering unit, an oxygenator, an electrodialyzer adapted to generate an acid solution and a basic solution and means for the infusion of said acid solution upstream of said oxygenator, wherein said electrodialyzer comprises a first electrodialysis chamber and a second electrodialysis chamber, said first and second electrodialysis chambers being separated by an ionic membrane, and wherein said first chamber and said second chamber are respectively separated from the positive electrode, or anode, and from the negative electrode, or cathode, by means of a bipolar membrane.
