SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AN INTEGRATED ARTERIAL FILTER INTO AN OXYGENATOR, MINIMIZING ADDED PRIMING VOLUME

摘要

A blood processing apparatus includes an optional heat exchanger and a gas exchanger disposed within a housing. In some instances, the gas exchanger can include a screen filter spirally wound into the gas exchanger such that blood passing through the gas exchanger passes through the screen filter and is filtered by the spirally wound screen filter a plurality of times.
