Description

(54) A DEVICE FOR DIFFUSING SUBSTANCES BETWEEN TWO FLUIDS (71) We, EXTRACORPOREAL MEDICAL SPECIALTIES INC, of Royal Cross Roads, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406, United States of America, a Corporation of the State of Pennsylvania, United States of America, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- The present invention relates to a device for diffusing substances between two fluids via semi-permeable membranes having the shape of thin-walled tubes through which one of the said fluids is caused to flow, while the said tubes are surrounded on the outside by the other one of the said fluids, collecting inlets and collecting outlets being provided for the respective fluids.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for diffusing substances between two fluids, said device comprising at least two parallel chambers each having at least one semipermeable membrane in the form of a thinwalled tube extending longitudinally therethrough; inlet means and outlet means connected to said tubes at respective ends of the chambers for passing a first fluid in simultaneous concurrent flow through all of said tubes; respective inlets and outlets to each chamber for passing a second fluid in countercurrent flow to said first fluid; and conduit means connecting the outlet of each chamber except one to the inlet of another chamber whereby the second fluid is caused to flow sequentially through the chambers, said conduit means not containing semipermeable tubes connected to said inlet and outlet means for the first fluid and preferably not containing any semipermeable membrane.
It is preferred that the chambers are provided within a tubular casing and further that the conduit means comprises passages provided in said casing. Advantageously, the casing is divided into said chambers by longitudinally extending intermediate walls.
in which case the said passages conveniently can be formed between respective pairs of intermediate walls of adjacent chambers connected by the passage.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for diffusing substances between two fluids, said device comprising a tubular casing divided by longitudinally extending intermediate walls into at least two longitudinal chambers and into a respective longitudinal passage connecting each pair of adjacent chambers, which passage connects one end of one chamber of said pair to the opposite end of the other chamber of the pair whereby a fluid can be passed sequentially through the chambers; at least one respective semi-permeable membrane in the form of a thin-walled tube extending longitudinally through each chamber; inlet means and outlet means connected to said tubes for passing a first fluid through the tubes; and a respective inlet and outlet to the tubular casing for passing a second fluid sequentially through the said chambers; and wherein the said respective passage does not contain semi-permeable tubes connected to said inlet and outlet means for the first fluid and preferably does not contain any semipermeable membranes. It is preferred that the respective passage is located between the respective pair of adjacent chambers.
The following will refer to both aspects of the present invention but it will be appreciated that references to a tubular casing apply as far as the first aspect of the invention is concerned to the preferred embodiment comprising such a casing.
Preferably, each chamber has a plurality of the thin-walled tubes extending longitudinally therethrough and said tubes are hollow fibres having a preferred outer diameter of 0.3 to 0.5 mm.
Conveniently, the intermediate wall separating the respective passage from one of its pair of adjacent chambers extends from one end of the tubular casing to terminate short of the opposite end of the casing and the intermediate wall separating the passage from the other of its pair of adjacent chambers extends from said opposite end of the casing to terminate short of the said one end of the casing. In this manner the inlets and outlets for conveying the second fluid between the chambers can be readily provided.
The tubular casing suitably is of generally rectangular cross-section and the intermediate walls extend in plane-parallel relationship to an opposed pair of side walls of the casing. The casing can be formed of two longitudinal parts connected together and in this case it is preferred that one of the parts carries the intermediate walls and sealing means are provided to seal said walls against the other of said parts. The sealing means can be integral with the said other part of the casing.
Preferably, the inlet means and outlet means for the first fluid include an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber respectively into which all of the thin-walled tubes open at their respective ends.
The casing advantageously terminates at its ends in respective end walls through which the thin-walled tubes pass and the said inlet and outlet chambers are defined by respective end caps having an inlet and outlet respectively for the first fluid. An inlet and outlet for the second fluid preferably is provided in the side of the casing between said end walls to efficiently seal the fluids from each other.
The device of the invention is primarily intended for use in purifying blood, i.e. as a so-called artificial kidney, in which case blood flows through the thin-walled tubes while a purifying liquid is caused to flow outside the tubes. The said purifying liquid normally consists of pure water to which certain salts have been added. The invention will be described hereinafter with particular reference to purifying blood. It will readily be appreciated however that the device may also be used for many other purposes. It may for example be used to oxygenize blood, in which case the said.
purifying liquid is replaced by oxygen or a gaseous mixture containing oxygen.
Alternatively, the device may be used for transferring substances from one gas to another gas. In this connection, the term "fluid" is used in this Specification (including the Claims) to mean a gas or liquid.
The following is a description by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings ~ of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention. In the drawings: Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of an artificial kidney in accordance with one preferred embodiment of the invention: Figure 2 is a side view, partly in section, corresponding to Figure 1; Figure 3 is a view, partly in section, taken at right angles and from the left of the view of Figure 2; and Figure 4 is a section on line VI-VI of Figure 2; Referring to Figures 1 to 4, an artificial kidney consists of an outer casing 1 which is composed of two parts la and lb (see Figure 4). The two parts are held together in the example shown by hook-shaped locking members 2a and 2b but in practice may be held together in any arbitrary way, for instance by gluing, welding or by some kind of screw or clamping means. The part lb carried intermediate walls 3b forming between them chambers 4 and passages 5, respectively. Through the chambers 4 there pass semi-permeable membranes in the form of thin-walled tubes 6 running from one end wall 7 to another end wall 7 (see Figure 1). The channels 5 lack such thinwalled tubes. The intermediate walls 3b are sealed against the part la of the outer casing by seals 8a, which seals may be integral with the part la or may be separate therefrom. It should be observed that the thin-walled tubes 6 are shown in the drawings with exaggerated thickness for the sake of clarity. In practice, the tube outer diameter is preferably 0.3 to 0.5 mm and the wall thickness is extremely small. Such tubes are known for use in dialysis devices and are generally referred to as hollow fibres.
Blood to be purified is supplied in the direction of arrow A via the inlet 9 to an inlet chamber 10. The said chamber 10 is defined on one side by the adjacent end wall 7 and on the other side by an end cap 11.
The thin-walled tubes 6 open without exception into the chamber 10. At their other ends, the tubes 6 open in a corresponding manner into an outlet chamber 12 for the purified blood. From the said chamber 12, the blood is led in the direction of arrow B through an outlet 13.
The outlet chamber 12 is located between the adjacent end wall 7 and an end cap-14.
The device according to the invention is meant to be mounted in the vertical sense, in which case the blood is introduced at the lower end of the device and is discharged from the upper end of the device. A salt solution, or purifying liquid, is however introduced at the upper end of the device in the direction of arrow C via an inlet 15 and flows through a first chamber 4 in the direction of arrow D against the direction of flow of the blood, which direction of blood flow is shown by arrow E. At the lower end of the device, the purifying liquid turns and flows upwardly through an intermediate passage 5. It then flows through a second chamber 4 in the direction of arrow L against the direction of flow of the blood.
After the purifying liquid bas been passed through all of the chamber 4 in the direction of arrow D in countercurrent flow to the blood, it passes through an outlet 16 in the direction of arrow F.
The end walls 7 are formed from a more or less resilient compound tightly enclosing the respective tube openings and thereby effectively sealing the two fluids from one another. Between the end walls 7 and the end caps 11 and 14, respectively, there are mounted gaskets 17 and said end caps 11 and 14 are attached to the outer casing 1 in any arbitrary manner, e.g. by gluing or by some kind of screw or clamping means. In Figure 3 they are, however, shown attached to the casing 1 by means of hook-shaped locking members 18 and 19.
It will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to the particular details described above but may be varied within the scope of the following Claims. Thus, the shape of the components may vary substantially without departing from said scope of the invention. In particular, the flow shown in the Figures may be reversed so that blood is introduced from above, while the purifying liquid is introduced from below i.e. in directions opposite to those shown by arrows A to F.
