HEMOFILTRATION DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A HIGH BLOOD FLOW EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCUIT

摘要

Disclosed is a hemofiltration device, system and method for rapid solute removal from a patient's blood. The device, and method employ a hemofiltration assembly for a high blood flow extracorporeal circuit, such as an ECMO circuit, configured to achieve high-efficiency, high-flux convective solute clearance, and optionally diffusive solute clearance, and include one or more hemofilters having greater filter medium surface area in a circuit having greater flow rates than previously implemented RRT modalities, and may offer rapid clearance of toxins, including those not currently dialyzable (e.g., those with high volumes of distribution).
