Description

Blood treatment filter
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a filter technical field especially relates to a blood treatment filter.
Background
Whole blood collected from a donor is used as a raw material for blood component preparations such as red blood cell preparations, platelet preparations, and plasma preparations. Whole blood includes undesirable components such as microaggregates and leukocytes that cause various transfusion side effects. Therefore, it is common to remove unwanted components after blood collection and before the blood component preparation is used.
Methods for removing undesirable components (e.g., leukocytes) from whole blood and blood component preparations include removal using fiber aggregates (e.g., nonwovens) and porous structures with continuous pores, which are simple to operate and relatively low in cost. Filtration methods using blood treatment filters comprising a filter medium have become popular.
Conventionally, a blood processing filter in which a rigid container such as polycarbonate is filled with a filter material made of nonwoven fabric or porous material has been widely used, but since the gas permeability of the container is low, the method of steam sterilization is widely used for sterilization of a blood collection and separation device, but it is difficult to use the method in the container. In addition, the closed system includes the following cases: in the latter case, the blood processing filter is required to be centrifugally separated together with the blood collection tube separation device. At this point, the rigid container may damage the bag or tube, or the rigid container itself may not withstand the stresses of centrifugation.
As a method for solving these problems, a flexible blood treatment filter using a material having the same or similar flexibility as that of a bag for a blood collection tube/separation set and excellent vapor permeability has been developed and used.
When a soft polyvinyl chloride sheet represented by a life buoy, a blood bag, a plastic bag, and the like and a melt of a non-porous material such as an olefin film are welded to each other, a pressure and a load are applied to a joint portion during use, and therefore, excellent peeling resistance and excellent centrifugation resistance have been required. As a technique for producing a melt that meets the requirements, welding techniques such as high-frequency welding and heat sealing have been widely used (for example, japanese patent laid-open No. 2007-253374A, WO03059611), but products having sufficient centrifugal force resistance and peel resistance have not been obtained at all times.

Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description is only intended to teach one skilled in the art how to practice the invention, and is not intended to exhaust all possible ways of practicing the invention, nor is it intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention.
A blood treatment filter according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the blood processing filter includes a flexible container 1 and a filter element 2. Wherein the flexible container 1 clamps the filter element 2 and is sealed.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the flexible container 1 includes an inlet-side flexible container 11 and an outlet-side flexible container 12. The inlet-side flexible container 11 and the outlet-side flexible container 12 sandwich the filter element 2.
The inlet-side flexible container 11 is formed with a blood inlet 111, and the blood inlet 111 is used to introduce blood to be filtered. The outlet-side flexible container 12 is formed with a blood outlet for discharging blood filtered by the filter element 2.
The inlet-side flexible container 11 and the outlet-side flexible container 12 are sealed by a first seal portion 13 and a second seal portion 14. The first seal portion 13 is formed into an annular band shape by welding the flexible container 1 and the filter element 2, and performs primary sealing of the blood treatment filter. The second seal portion 14 is formed outside the first seal portion 13 so as to surround the first seal portion 13, and is formed by welding the flexible container 1.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the filter element 2 includes an inlet-side filtration layer 21, an intermediate filtration layer 22, and an outlet-side filtration layer 23 that are disposed in layers. Of these, the inlet-side filter layer 21 and the outlet-side filter layer 23 are made of polyethylene terephthalate, and the intermediate filter layer 22 is made of polybutylene terephthalate.
In the present embodiment, the inlet-side flexible container 11, the inlet-side filter layer 21, and the intermediate filter layer 22 are melt-mixed to form a first composite material layer. The intermediate filtration layer 22, the outlet-side filtration layer 23, and the outlet-side flexible container 12 are melt-mixed to form a second composite material layer. In this way, the filter element 2 and the flexible container 1, which are arranged in a multilayer manner, are melt-mixed to form a composite material layer, the physical structure of the composite material layer is complicated, and even if there is no adhesion between the flexible container 1 and the filter element 2, the flexible container 1 and the filter element 2 are not easily peeled, that is, the peeling resistance and the centrifugation resistance of the whole blood treatment filter are improved.
In the present embodiment, the composite material layer may be formed by: after laminating the materials (the flexible container 1 and the filter element 2), they are sandwiched in a mold to be subjected to high-frequency welding, pressurized under a certain pressure, and then applied with high frequency. The flexible container 1 heated by the high-frequency wave is softened and melted, and enters the voids of the fibers of the inlet-side filtration layer 21 and the outlet-side filtration layer 23 under the action of an appropriate punching pressure (the inlet-side filtration layer 21 and the outlet-side filtration layer 23 should have an appropriate pore size to allow the melted flexible container 1 to enter). At this time, since the inlet-side filtration layer 21 and the outlet-side filtration layer 23 are not heated to a temperature at which the fibers melt and have a higher melting point than the flexible container 1, the fibers of the inlet-side filtration layer 21 and the outlet-side filtration layer 23 remain without melting, and the flexible container 1 melts in the voids and further melt-mixes with the inlet-side filtration layer 21 and the outlet-side filtration layer 23 to form a composite material layer. On the other hand, the temperature of the intermediate filtration layer 22 rises from the substantially central portion in the thickness direction, and the intermediate filtration layer 22 in the vicinity of the central portion reaches the melting point by high-frequency heating and starts melting earlier than before the flexible container 1 enters the intermediate filtration layer 22 from above and below, and then melts and diffuses until it meets the above-described composite material layer. Finally, after the high-frequency application is stopped, the composite material layer is completed by a cooling step. It will be appreciated that the welded article of the present application can be obtained by selecting the appropriate construction and materials of the filter element 1, and setting the appropriate welding conditions, and the appropriate pressing pressure.
In the present embodiment, the flexible container 1 may be exemplified by: a sheet-like or film-like molded article made of a thermoplastic elastomer such as a hydrogenated product of a soft polyvinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, nylon, polyurethane, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer, a styrene-isoprene copolymer or a hydrogenated product thereof, or a mixture of a thermoplastic elastomer and a softening agent such as polyolefin or ethyl acrylate. Among them, soft polyvinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, nylon or polyurethane is a preferable material, and soft polyvinyl chloride is a preferable material.
In the present embodiment, the fiber diameter or pore size of each layer in the filter element 2 may be different. The fiber diameter or pore size of the filter element 2 gradually or continuously decreases from the portion of the filter element 2 in contact with the flexible container 1 in the thickness direction of the filter element 2. For example, the fiber diameter or pore size of the inlet-side filtration layer 21 may be larger than that of the intermediate filtration layer 22, and the fiber diameter or pore size of the outlet-side filtration layer 23 may be larger than that of the intermediate filtration layer 22.
The centrifugal resistance of the present invention is explained, and here, the centrifugal resistance means that, for the purpose of component separation, a centrifugal process is performed on a blood treatment filter of a flexible container using a centrifugal separator, and the present invention has centrifugal resistance, that is, a filter capable of withstanding the centrifugation. Specifically, the present invention is a flexible blood treatment filter that can prevent the occurrence of a crack in the first seal portion 13 and the occurrence of leakage of blood to the outside.
The following describes in detail the evaluation method of the centrifugal resistance.
The blood processing filter subjected to steam heat sterilization was stored in a centrifuge (manufactured by Hitachi Co., Ltd., model number: CR7N) together with a blood bag, and specifically, the blood processing filter in a state where the blood bag into which blood was introduced and the blood channel were connected was folded together with the blood bag and the blood channel and stored in one centrifuge cup of the centrifuge. Then, centrifugation was performed under the following conditions so that the weights of the opposing centrifuge cups were as equal as possible.
That is, the rotation speed (g · sec) was set to 5000g · sec, the time was set to 19 minutes, the acceleration time from 0 to 500rpm was set to 2 minutes, the deceleration time from 500 to 0rpm was set to 4 minutes, the temperature was set to 22 ℃, and the Actual running timer (Actual running timer) was set to be invalid, that is, the set time was measured immediately after the start of the centrifugation.
After the centrifugation, whether or not a crack was generated in the first seal portion was checked. Specifically, ink (a flag marking oil (dedicated to a sol stamp pad) of red color) was injected into the blood inlet 111 of the filter for the centrifugal test using a syringe in an amount of 1cm per blood treatment filter20.80ml of ink was injected into the effective filter area (described later), and after 1 hour of injection, it was confirmed whether or not the ink leaked into the first seal portion 13.
As schematically shown in fig. 2, the effective filter area is the product of the lengthwise and widthwise lengths minus the partial area of the four corners. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 in an enlarged manner, since the corner portion of the corner is regarded as the effective filter area, the effective filter area in the present application, that is, the effective filter area (cm) is calculated based on the radius of the corner portion2) Is lengthwise x crosswise of the filter- {4 (radius of R part)2- ((radius of R part)2X pi). The effective filtration area is an area of the filter element actually used for blood filtration, and is an area inside the first seal portion. Therefore, the calculation formula of the effective filter area is not limited to this formula.
Thus, whether or not the desired anti-eccentricity property is obtained is evaluated based on whether or not the ink leaks into the first seal portion 13.
