Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for centrifuging liquid, in particular blood, containing particles in suspension, comprising a first drive member rotatably mounted, a second drive member rotatably mounted, coaxial with the first drive member, means for driving said first and said second drive member, with a rotation ratio of 2/1 between them, a member for centrifuging said liquid, provided with at least three channels connecting its center to a peripheral separation chamber, means for making said centrifuge member integral with said first drive member, three conduits made of elastically deformable material, each having a first end integral with the central end of one of the three channels of said centrifuge member, these conduits each forming an open loop around said centrifuge member, the second end of this loop being substantially coaxial with the first and angularly fixed, a portion of each loop being kinematically integral with said second drive member, one of said conduits being connected to a supply source of said liquid to be centrifuged, the other two serving to recover the components of different densities from centrifugation.
- centrifugation devices are well known in particular in the field of blood centrifugation, since they make it possible to connect the centrifugation rotor to the outside in order to supply it with liquid to be centrifuged and to remove the separate constituents without using any seal.
- US 3,586,413 it is known from US 3,586,413 that if one has a flexible conduit forming an open loop and whose two ends are coaxial, that one is fixed while the other rotates at speed 2 ⁇ around the axis common to these two ends and that the loop is driven at speed ⁇ , the flexible conduit rotates around of its own axis at speed - ⁇ , canceling the torsion induced by the rotation of the rotor.
- the separation chamber In the case of blood centrifugation, the separation chamber must be changed for each donor or for each different patient. Taking into account the centrifugal forces necessary to obtain the desired separation of the constituents, the centrifugation rotor must be able to withstand the centrifugal forces to which it is subjected, it must be suitably sized, it must be balanced to avoid unbalance and it must be securely attached to the axis of rotation.
- US 4,007,871 Another system comprising a rigid rotor intended to receive a flexible bag for the separation of the liquid has been proposed in US 4,007,871.
- US 4,790,807 relates to a rigid but flexible enclosure constituted by a split ring whose two ends are spaced apart. To put this enclosure in place in the support rotor, the two ends of the split ring are brought closer, which is then retained in a housing of the rotor by its elasticity.
- a rigid and disposable rotor having the shape of a disc in two parts, one comprising two annular chambers for the separation of the constituents of different densities and of the channels for supplying the liquid. to centrifuge and to allow the evacuation of the constituents resulting from the separation.
- the drive shaft of this rotor consists of a tubular element allowing the passage of the liquid centrifuge conduits and the constituents resulting from the separation.
- the outside of the tube has a toothed annular surface intended to engage a pinion of the drive mechanism of the device, a first disc with convex profile is placed on one side of the annular toothed surface and is intended to come engaged with three guide pulleys with concave profiles.
- a second disc, placed on the other side of this annular toothed surface is engaged with three other guide rollers.
- Such a drive and guide mechanism is extremely complex.
- To remove the disposable rotor it is necessary to be able to move aside one of the rollers associated with each of the guide surfaces, so that these rollers must also be mounted on mobile supports which must be locked during the centrifugation operation. It is therefore a system in which the change of disposable rotor constitutes an operation which is neither simple nor quick to perform.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy, at least in part, the drawbacks of the above-mentioned solutions.
- the subject of this invention is a device for centrifuging liquid, in particular blood, of the aforementioned type, according to the definition given by claim 1.
- This invention also relates to a use of this centrifuge device, as defined by claim 15.
- the apparatus according to the invention is therefore of the type in which the circular centrifugation member forms a single disposable member, integral with the conduits serving for the supply and removal of liquids.
- the attachment of the circular centrifuge member to its drive member is obtained by manual snap-fastening.
- the fastening system is not subjected to centrifugal forces since it works axially. Once the attachment is obtained, there is therefore no risk of untimely separation.
- the detachment of the centrifuge member requires only a simple axial traction against the elastic pressure of the retaining spring. No other mechanical element than the second coupling element is located on the centrifuge member, so that it constitutes a simple and inexpensive part to manufacture.

- Figure 2 is a partial sectional view along line II-II of Figure 1
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of the kinematics of the drive mechanism
- Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view along line IV -IV of Figure 1
- Figure 5 is a partial sectional view of a variant of the embodiment of Figure 1
- Figure 6 is a view along line VI-VI of Figure 5
- Figure 7 is a view similar to Figures 1 and 5 of another variant.
- centrifugation rotor having the shape of a disc 1 formed at the end of a tubular body 1a, pivotally mounted in two ball bearings PI, P2.
- This centrifugation rotor 1 carries a disposable centrifugation bowl 2, itself formed by the union of two parts welded or glued to each other, one lower, formed by a disc 2a and the other upper 2b , having two cylindrical and concentric side walls, one interior 2c and the other exterior 2d between which is formed an annular separation enclosure 3 ( Figures 1 and 2).
- the channel 4 constitutes the blood supply channel to be centrifuged. It has a partition 7 which joins the side wall 2d of the annular separation enclosure 3, while the other wall of this supply channel 4 stops at the internal side wall 2c of this separation enclosure 3 .
- the partition 7 also serves to separate the channel 4 from the channel 5 intended for the recovery of blood cells, the other partition 8 of which stops at a certain distance from the external lateral wall 2d of the annular separation enclosure 3.
- This partition 8 therefore separates the channels 5 and 6 and makes them communicate respectively with the external part of the annular separation enclosure 3, that is to say that where the blood cells are concentrated, of that of lower density. where the plasma is concentrated.
- a subsequent separation of the recovered blood cells is possible to separate the red cells, the white cells and the platelets.
- the bottom of the disc forming the lower part 2a of the bowl 2 carries a coupling element constituted by a tenon or a cylindrical rod 11, having a groove 11a of semi-circular section, adjacent to a frustoconical end 11b.
- This coupling rod 11 is engaged in a coupling element formed by a ring 12, of a coupling mechanism 13, this ring and this coupling mechanism being housed in the tubular part 1a of the rotor 1.
- the coupling mechanism 13 comprises a coupling means which, in this embodiment, consists of a ring of balls 16 which is located at the internal end of the axial passage formed by the ring 12 secured to the tubular part la of the rotor 1.
- a tubular piston 17 is slidably mounted in the tubular part la. Its upper end ends in a funnel-shaped surface 17a.
- This tubular piston 17 is pressed axially against the internal end of the ring 12 by a helical spring 18 compressed between one end of the tubular part 1a of the rotor 1 and a bearing surface of the tubular piston 17.
- This axial pressure in the direction of the ring 12 and the shape of the funnel 17a have the effect of exerting centripetal forces on the ring of balls 16 which presses them into the groove 11a of the coupling stud 11 of the cup 2.
- a second piston 14 is slidably mounted inside the tubular piston 17 and a second helical spring 19 pushes it axially against the end of the coupling member 11.
- the crown of balls 16 could be replaced by a split annular spring of the piano string type, or even by a coil spring forming a toric spring, the two ends of which would then be brought together by the funnel 17a under the pressure of the helical spring 18, thereby reducing its diameter to keep it in engagement with the groove 11a of the coupling stud.
- the external end of the tubular piston 17 is integral with a gripping member 20 intended to allow to exert an axial traction opposite to the pressure of the spring 18, to allow the balls 16 to move outward.
- the piston 14 subjected to the axial pressure of the spring 19 can then eject the cup 2 upwards and simultaneously keep the balls 16 apart.
- the upper surface of the disc carrying this cup 2 has a slight clearance 1b, which ensures good contact with the peripheral annular surface of this disc.
- the axial position of the groove 11a of the coupling stud 11 can be chosen to be normally still very partially in the axial passage of the ring 12 so that the engagement of the balls 16 in this groove 11a induces a very slight deflection of the center of the bottom of the bowl 2, which allows the clearance lb of the rotor disc 1, thus ensuring sufficient contact between this disc and the bowl 2 to guarantee a friction drive of the latter. If this friction is not sufficient, radial grooves could be provided to prevent the cup 2 from sliding relative to the rotor disc 1.
- the ball bearings PI, P2 of the tubular part 1a of the rotor are mounted in a support element 21 fixed to a plate 22, itself fixed to an upper disc 26 by four columns 15, two of which located behind the cup 2 are visible in Figures 1 and 3, the other two being arranged symmetrically with respect to a drive shaft 23 parallel to the axis of the rotor 1. Thanks to this arrangement, the side of the centrifuge opposite to the drive shaft is free, allowing the lateral introduction of the bowl 2 and the positioning of the tubular element 9. This allows easy access to the centrifuge bowl 2 and easily carry out its positioning and its removal.
- the drive shaft 23 is pivotally mounted by means of two ball bearings 24, 25, respectively secured to the plate 22 and the upper disc 26 located above the bowl 2.
- This upper disc 26 is secured to the drive shaft 27 of a motor 28, coaxial with the axis of rotation of the rotor 1.
- the end of the shaft 23 which extends above the disc 26 is secured to a satellite pinion 29 in engagement with a fixed pinion 30.
- the ratio between the diameters of the satellite pinion 29 and of the fixed pinion 30 is 1/1, so that if the speed of rotation of the plate 26 is ⁇ , that of the shaft 23 around of its axis is 2 ⁇ .
- the lower end of this shaft 23 carries a toothed pinion 31 connected by a toothed belt 32 to a toothed pinion 33, of the same diameter as the toothed pinion 31, so that the rotor 1 is driven at speed 2 ⁇ .
- the flexible tubular element 9 forms an open loop, one end 9a of which is fixed and coaxial with the pivot axis of the rotor 1. This end 9a is fixed and held in a tubular connection housing 10 'similar to the housing 10 supporting the other end of this tubular element 9.
- Each of these tubular elements 10 and 10 ' has a kind of funnel 10a, respectively 10' a (fig. 5) which gives support to this part of the element tubular 9 when subjected to centrifugal force.
- This loop passes through an opening 22a formed in the plate 22, so that it is driven around the pivot axis of the rotor 1 at speed ⁇ , while its end secured to the center of the bowl 2 is driven to speed 2 ⁇ and the other end 9a is fixed, so that the flexible element is driven between these two ends at speed - ⁇ around its longitudinal axis canceling out any accumulation of torsion between these two ends.
- a bearing surface 22b integral with the plate 22 serves to limit the deformation of the tubular element 9 under the effect of centrifugal force.
- the guide portions of the tubular member 9 are preferably made of a self-lubricating material or low friction coefficient, such as Oilamid ®, Teflon ® or bronze-ValfIon ®.
- the three conduits 4a, 5a, 6a separate and the plasma conduit 6a is associated with a valve 34 for adjusting the flow rate as a function of the position of the surface of separation between plasma and blood cells in the separation chamber 3.
- a double prism 3a is formed at the upper end of the separation enclosure 3 and came in one piece with the upper part 2b of the bowl 2 during its injection.
- the portion of this double prism 3a which is covered by the blood cells which have been separated from the plasma by centrifugal force following the rotation of the bowl 2 is opaque, while the part which emerges in the plasma is transparent.
- An optical device 35 comprising a laser and a photoelectric detector is arranged with respect to this prism 3a, so that the photoelectric detector receives the light reflected by the part of the double prism 3a which emerges in the transparent plasma.
- a signal of duration proportional to the angular value of the transparent area of the double prism 3a is thus supplied to an amplifier 36 whose output is connected to the proportional valve 34.
- the amplifier 36 will control the proportional valve 34 so that it reduces, respectively so that it increases the section of the plasma evacuation duct 6a, making it possible to maintain by this adjustment, the balance between the flows in the ducts outlet 5a and 6a, this as a function of an inlet flow rate determined by the blood supply pump in the conduit 4a, itself determined by the venous pressure of the donor arm.
- the dimensioning of the centrifugation bowl 2 and of the tubular element 9 forming the open loop are chosen to make it possible to reduce the size, the weight, the price and the volume, both of this bowl 2 and of the assembly of the centrifuge apparatus, the dimensioning of which is essentially dependent on the diameter of the centrifuge bowl. If the diameter decreases, it is necessary to increase the speed. The increase in this can be limited by the increase in the height of the centrifuge chamber 3, so that the maximum resulting flow rate remains practically constant, this being determined by obtaining good sedimentation of the blood cells.
- the diameter of the bowl is 80 mm and its height is substantially equal to its radius.
- Such a diameter corresponds to approximately one third of that of the separation rotors of the state of the art. Therefore, the length of the open loop formed by the tubular conduit 9 therefore corresponds substantially to one third of the loops of the prior art.
- the tensile force exerted on it by the centrifugal force to which it is subjected can be kept at a constant value.
- the material of the tubular element is plasticized PVC or silicone, the specific gravity of which is 1.2 g / cm 3 , as in the prior art.
- the tensile force F exerted on this pipe corresponds to:
- the rotating part according to the invention weighs approximately 600 g while the rotors of the devices of the state of the art weigh almost five times this weight. This is the reason why in blood collection, plasmapheresis is generally not performed directly, but that the blood is collected in flexible bags which are then placed in very large centrifuges. In this case, it is no longer possible to return the red blood cells to the donor. However, the time for the organism to reproduce the quantity of red blood cells is long, which explains why several months must necessarily separate two donations of blood for the same donor, which would not be necessary if the red cells could be reinjected after separation. This is only possible if the separation is done simultaneously with the blood test.
- Another important aspect of this invention resides in the fact that the complete circulation of the liquid is obtained by the overpressure with which the blood is brought into the centrifuge bowl 2.
- This overpressure must compensate for the pressure losses induced in the supply duct. 4a as well as in the recovery conduits for blood cells 5a and plasma 6a.
- a peristaltic pump intended to ensure the desired flow rate downstream of the separation. No peristaltic suction pump of the outgoing components is therefore necessary, the regulation of the plasma flow rate being obtained by the adjustment valve 34, controlled by its servo-control system as a function of the variation in position of the border between the plasma. and blood cells.
- this device is suitable in particular for use for carrying out plasmapheresis in line with the blood test, it can of course also be used in applications of a therapeutic nature. It has been found in fact that the tubular element 9 containing the three conduits 4a, 5a, 6a is calculated with a safety factor of 5 for continuous use exceeding 5 hours, which allows its use in all conceivable applications.
- the apparatus which is the subject of the present invention can also be used for washing blood cells by introducing alternately with suitable means known in the art, the cells to be washed and a washing liquid.
- the washing liquid could be introduced through an additional conduit, allowing separation and washing to be carried out simultaneously.
- the tubular element 9 should then have four conduits instead of the three shown.
- the two discs 22 and 26 of the previous embodiment are replaced by two diametrical arms 22 ', 26' which came in one piece from aluminum with two pillars 37 and 38 diametrically opposed.
- the arm 26 ′ has a hub 26 ′ a which is driven onto the shaft 27 of the motor 28.
- the pillar 37 has a cylindrical passage 39 intended for the passage of the drive shaft 23.
- the other pillar 38 is integral of a support 40 having a guide trough 41 of the tubular element 9.
- the support 40 is designed to support the flexible tubular element 9 in the area where its radius is the greatest, therefore where the centrifugal force is greatest, the funnel 10a supports the central part of the tubular element 9 .
- the support 40 is made, like the support 22b of the embodiment of FIG. 1, in a material to low coefficient of friction.
- a high molecular weight polyethylene (PEHM) could also be used.
- Slippage can also be promoted by using, during the manufacture of the tubular element 9, when the latter is made of PVC, a plasticizer based on silica making its surface more slippery. It is also possible to reduce the friction by reducing the contact surface of the trough 41 by streaks possibly in the form of tendrils.
- rollers 42 are freely pivoted around axes parallel to that of the tubular element 9 in the support trough 40. These rollers 42 are driven by the rotation of the tubular element 9 on himself.
- the rest of the centrifuge corresponds to the embodiment described above.
- the variant described in relation to FIGS. 5 and 6 facilitates balancing and makes it possible to increase the safety of the apparatus when it rotates at the speed of centrifugation. It also improves the guidance and support of the tubular element 9, which is thus very little subject to centrifugal force.
