FECAL MICROBIOME TRANSPLANT MATERIAL PREPARATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

This invention relates to a fecal microbiome transplant material preparation method and apparatus for the preparation of fecal material for a fecal transplant. A healthy patient's stool is collected and deposited in a first container which has its open end attached to a second container to form a fecal processing device. Blender blades are positioned in the second container and a filter is mounted therein. Liquid is injected into the second container through a syringe port having a valve therein to block the escape of liquid from the connected containers. Intake and exhaust ports allow air to enter and escape from the connected containers while blocking the escape of liquid. The liquid and fecal matter in the connected containers is blended and the blended liquid is strained through the filter in the second container and removed through the syringe port for use in a fecal transplant.

主权项

1. A method for the preparation of fecal material for a fecal transplant comprising the steps of:
selecting a fecal processing apparatus having a fecal collection container having an open end and a fecal processing container having an open end, said fecal processing container having a filter therein and having a syringe port in the side thereof for the injection of and removal of materials, said syringe port having a check valve therein to prevent the escape of liquids therethrough from said fecal processing container; depositing fecal matter from a patient into said fecal collection container; attaching the open end of said fecal collection container having fecal matter therein to the open end of the fecal processing container; injecting a dilutant liquid through the syringe port into said connected fecal processing container and fecal collection container; blending said injected liquid and collected fecal matter in said connected fecal collection container and fecal processing container and separating solid materials from passing through said fecal processing container filter; draining said blended liquid material through said fecal processing container filter into said fecal processing container; and removing material from said fecal processing container through said syringe port for use in a fecal transplant; whereby fecal material is collected and processed for use in a fecal transplant.
