Vorrichtung zur Reinigung von Blut

摘要

Apparatus for purifying blood comprises a vessel containing one or more chambers arranged in series and containing micro-beads which enclose adsorbents and reagents for purifying blood. The vessel also includes a stator cavity which contains a pump rotor, preferably driven by an external rotary magnet. Means for agitating the beads in the chamber preferably consist of vanes connected to the pump rotor. In a preferred arrangement of the apparatus, the beads in a first chamber nearest the inlet contain urease and a cation-exchange resin in the sodium state, the beads of the second chamber contain activated charcoal and an exchange resin in the hydrogen state, and the beads of the third chamber contain an anion-exchange resin in the OH state.
