Apparatus for treating the blood by extracorporeal circulation and process for manufacturing the same

摘要

Connector (I) for attachment to an inlet of a blood or plasma circulation compartment of a device for extracorporeal blood or plasma treatment comprises a soluble biocompatibility-enhancing substance in an amount such that a durable film of the substance will be deposited on the internal surface of the blood compartment when a predetermined amount of an aqueous solution is passed through the blood compartment via the inlet. Connector (I) for attachment to an inlet of a blood or plasma circulation compartment of a device for extracorporeal blood or plasma treatment comprises a soluble biocompatibility-enhancing substance in a form such that the substance is unchanged when the connector is sterilized by irradiation and in an amount such that a durable film of the substance will be deposited on the internal surface of the blood compartment when a predetermined amount of an aqueous solution is passed through the blood compartment via the inlet.
