Description
APPARATUS FOR THE PRODUCTION
OF OXYGENATED BLOOD
The present invention relate to an apparatus for the production of oxygenated blood, said apparatus incorporating a vessel to contain the blood that is to be treated, an ultraviolet lamp and an infrared lump being associated with said container, a feed pipe that is connected to a source for ozone and that reaches to its bottom area extending into said container.
It is known that for purposes of haematoloqicnl oxydation therapy, after a stabilizing agent against coagulation has been added to it, human or animal blood can be processed with air whilst being irradiated with ultraviolet radiation; when this is done, the flow of air that is introduced into it converts the blood into foam that moves within the ultraviolet radiation.
The foam that is so formed is destroyed by the blood returning to its liquid state. Oxygenated blood that is processed in this way can be injected intramuscularly or intravenously.
However, under certain conditions that have not been researched further, blood that has been oxygenated in this manner can give rise to shock reactions, a fact that renders haentatological oxydation therapy difficult. The difficulties may be connected with the deconiposition of erythrocytes when oxygen acts on the foamed blood, which can be recognized by the unpleasant smell of the reaction media.
In order to avoid these disadvantagec, DE-PS 1 068 428 it is proposed that ozone be pained through a continuous column of liquid, stabilized, venous blood in an area of ultraviolet radiation such that no significant foaming takes place, with the temperature being increased gradually to approximately 450C during this process. An approximately funnel-shaped vessel of material that is transparent to ultraviolet radiation is used, and this vessel is surrounded by a coiled ultraviolet quarz lamp as well as by an infrared radiator.A feed pipe enters the top of the processing vessel and extends within sald vessel to a point close to its bottom; outside the processing vessel, this feed pipe is connected to an ozonising chamber within which there is a low-pressure quarz lamp that ozonizes the oxygen that is supplied to said ozoniglng chamber. This known apparatus has been found satisfactory, although it is comparatively costly to produce and extremely inconvenient to use.
Proceeding from this prior art, it is the object of the present invention to create an apparatus of the type described in the introduction hereto, which avoids the disadvantages set out above and which is not only simple to produce and install, but which, in addition, permits rapid and safe operation.
According to the present invention, this has been achieved in that the vessel is esientially in the form of an inverted bottle, the neck opening of which is closed, and the bottom of which incorporates a central opening for the feed pipe; both the vessel and the feed pipe are designed as disposable items. The vessel is installed in the area of a working surface of the apparatus so as to be releasable. The feed pipe can be connected to a coupling for a line that leads to the ozone source.This configuration results in rapid and safe operation, for the sterile vessel is filled with blood that is removed from the patient and is installed in a holder provided for this purpose as part of the apparatus, whereupon the sterile feed pipe in the form of a tube is inserted into one end until it is close to the bottom., of the apparatus; the other end is connected to the coupling on the line that leads to the ozonizer. When the apparatus is switched on, the blood within the container is exposed to ultraviolet irradiation and to infrared heating to a maximum of 450C, whereupon the apparatus is switched off and the oxygenated blood removed by means of a syringe and injected either intravenously or intramuscularly into the patient.The holders are released and the vessel and the feed pipe are removed from the apparatus and discarded so that further processing can take place with new sterile vessels and feed pipes.
The neck opening of the bottle is closed tightly by means of a cover that is curved outwards, so that a gap is left between the face end of the feed pipe that rests on said cover, the ozone that is introduced into the vessel being able to emerge unhindered through this gap.
The neck of the vessel, which is fitted with the cap, is of the approximate form of a lobe, so that the blood is retained in a comparatively small space to undergo intensive exposure to the ozone. The volume of the vessel is such that its contents are sufficient for a maximum quantity of foamed blood, with a specific reserve so that the foamed blood can never emerge from the opening of the vessel. The vessel is of low-density polytethylene that is of high quality, transparent to ultraviolet C, pyroaen#free, and can be sterilized by irradiation. These vessels are packed individually and sealed in pouches, whereby irradiation sterilization also renders them aseptic.
The vessel is surrounded by a plurality of low-pressure ultraviolet lamps that generate the ultraviolet radiation required for processing the blood in connection with haematological oxydation therapy. These low-pressure ultraviolet lamps generate a line spectrum in which it is preferred that the line 253.7 nm accounts for the greatest part of the radiation, namely, approximately 90 per cent. This results in highly-effective sterilization and a high degree of sepsis. The low-pressure ultraviolet lamps are U-shaped, it being preferred that four be provided, these being displaced at 900 relative to each other around the vessel, The low-pressure
Ultraviolet lamps can be produced and installed very simply because of their U-shape, so that only a comparitively small expenditure is needed to achieve this. It is preferred that the low-pressure ultraviolet lamps be produced Irom o#one-free quartz.
According to another feature of the present invention, the vessel and the greater part of the low-pressure ultraviolet lamps that surround it are enclosed by a U-shaped reflector so that the radiation emitted from the back and sides or the lamps is captured and reflected back onto the vessel, the walls or which are transparent to ultraviolet radiation, this ensuring a highly degree of effectiveness of the ultraviolet radiation on the blood to be processed.
It is advantageous that the infrared lamp be arranged beneath the vessel, so that warming takes place from below.
Such an arrangement permits an extremely compact structure which, at the same time, ensures intensive warming of the blood that is to be processed within the vessel.
The vessel is fitted with a thermometer so that the increase in temperature can be monitored and controlled very accurately. Like the feed pipe for the ozone, the thermometer can extend into the vessel. However, it is also possible to arrange tha thermometer outside the vessel, for example, as a non-contact type thermometer. This latter arrangement entails the advantage that the thermometer need not be configured as a disposable item that has to be discarded, with the vessel and the feed pipe, once processing has been completed, but can be installed permanently as a result of the fact that it is installed outside the vessel.
It is advantageous that a thermocouple be used as the thermometer. On reaching a temperature of 42.5 C this thermocouple transmits a pulse that switches the apparatus off.
The thermocouple consists of a thick-wall glass tube within which two unlike metal wires, preferably of iron and of constantan, are arranged. The ends of these wires are connected to each other within the tip of the tube. The connection point of these two wires of the thermometer is imbedded in casting resin so as to ensure the optimum thermal transfer from the surrounding medium.
An ozonizer that is connected through a solenoid valve to an oxygen cylinder or the like serves as the source of ozone.
The ozonizer is fitted with one or a plurality of low-pressure ultraviolet lamps and the radiation from these converts the oxygen from the oxygen cyliner into ozone. The low-pressure ultraviolet lamp(s) emit(s) a line spectrum11 in which4 line 1S3 nm accounts for the major part of the overall radiation, and this results in highly efficient generation of ozone. The ozonizer is connected to a normal power supply and is not powered by high-tension voltage, which ensures a longer service life.It is advantageous that the oxygen cylinder be fitted with a pressure monitoring system that indicates the charge pressure of the oxygen cylinder and which switches the apparatus off in the event that the pressure drops below a prescribed value.
It is also possible to use an oxygen-generating system in place of the oxygen cylinder, so that there is then no need to replace the oxygen cylinders.
According to a further feature of the present invention, the electrical circuit incorporates a master switch, a processing switch, and switches that control the low-pressure ultraviolet lamps, the infrared heater, and the ozonizer; all of the foregoing switches can be operated separately. The individual systems within the apparatus are advantageously interconnected so that when the processing switch is turned on, all the systems are activated; this ensures that when blood is being processed, this blood is not only supplied with ozone, but is also exposed to infrared and ultraviolet radiation. It is possible to switch the apparatus off by a timer switch or as a function of the blood ter#erat#re that is reached.
In addition to the foregoing, a timer and/or a counter can also be connected to the processing switch, in order to count the number of processing cycles completed,or the duration of the processing cycles.
It is advantageous that the feed tube consist of a thickwalled glass tube that can be connected to the source of the ozone by means of a short section of tubing, this resulting in a version that is durable and easy to use.
An embodiment of the present invention is described in greater detail below, on the basis of the drawings appended hereto. These drawings show the following:
Figure 1: A schematic representation of the circuit for the
systems in the apparatus.
Figure 2: A plan view of the vessel used to process the
blood.
A vessel 1, essentially in the form of an inverted bottle, has its neck opening closed tightly by means of a cover 2. The vessel 1 is produced from low-density plastic, such as polyethylene, in the same manner as a milk jug. The base 3 of the vessel is provided with a central opening 4 for the feed pipe 5. The feed pipe 5, which is produced from plastic tubing, and the vessel 1 are produced as disposable items, so that these are discarded once the have been used.
The vessel 1 is installed so as to be removable in a working surface 6 in a holder, said holder not being shown in greater detail herein in the interests of clarity. To this end, the vessel is installed in a lower retaining ring 7 and in an upper retaining ring 8. Such an arrangament makes it possible to install the vessel in the apparatus quickly and easily, and then remove it from this once the blood has been processed.
The feed pipe 5 that extends into the vessel 1 can be connected at the coupling 9 on a line 10 that leads to an ozone supply system. This coupling 9 is a conventional pipe or tube coupling so that the feed pipe 5 can also be replaced quickly and easily.
The face surface of the lower end of the feed pipe 5 rests on the cover 2 of the vessel 1, this cover being curved outwards so that the ozone that is introduced can disperse through the gap formed in this way within the vessel 1 and then flow through the blood contained therein.
The vessel 1 is surrounded by a plurality of low-pressure ultraviolet lamps, these being of a U-shaped configuration in the embodiment shown. Four such lamps 11 are installed, and these are arranged at 900 to each other. The ultraviolet lamps 11 radiate a line spectrum in which line 253.7 nm accounts for the greater part of the radiation, for example, come 90 per cent, so that highly effective irradiation of the blood contained within the vessel 1 can be achieved, and together with this, the desired disinfection and sterilisation of said blood.
As can be seen from figure 2, the vessel 1 and the greater part of the low-pressure ultraviolet lamps 11 that surround said vessel, namely three of said burners, are surrounded by a Ushaped reflector 12, so that the radiation emanating from the low-pressure ultraviolet lamps 11 to the side and to the rear can also be utilized. Only one of the lamps 11 is not so enclosed, so that it is possible to monitor the vessel visually as the blood contained therein is being processed.
An infrared lamp 13 is arranged within the apparatus beneath the vessel 1: the output of this infrared lamp can be adjusted. The infrared radiation from this lamp warms the blood contained in the vessel 1, and the ozone passing through the blood simultaneously ensures that it is warmed uniformly.
In order that the extent to which the blood within the vessel can be monitored and adjusted, a thermometer extends into the vessel 1 through the opening 7 together with the feed pipe 5. In the emModiment shown, the thermometer 14 is also a disposable item so that this, together with the vessel 1 and the feed pipe 5, is replaced once the blood has been processed.
However, it is also possible to provide a non-contact type thermometer, as a fixed component,in addition to or in place of the thermometer 14.
In the embodiment shown, an ozonizer 16 is used as a source of ozone; this ozonizer is connected to the line 10, and is connected through this and the solenoid valve 17 to an oxygen cylinder 19 that is fitted with a pressure gauge 18. The ozonizer 16 is fitted with at laast one low-pressure ultraviolet lamp that also emits a line spectrum, line 183 nm accounting for the greatest part of the total radiation emitted by this lamp.
The electrical circuit for the apparatus incorporates a master switch 20, a processing switch 21, and switches 22, 23, and 24 for the infrared lamp 13, the ultraviolet lamps 11, and the ozonizer 16. The individual systems, discussed above, that make up the apparatus are so interconnected that all of them are activated when the procession; switch 21 is set to the "On" position, thereby ensuring that the blood contained within the vessel 1 does in fact undergo processing by all the necessary components.
A time 25 and/or a counter 26 can be connected to the processing switch 21.
All the components in the electrical circuit are safeguarded by warning lights so that it is always possible to monitor the proper operation of said components.
