Abstract

1438565 Filter series for blood PALL CORP 26 July 1973 [31 July 1972] 35751/73 Heading B1D A blocd filter has a series of two sheet filter elements arranged with the coarser element upstream of the finer. The first element is a sheet of open netting of filamentary plastics material of pore size about 800-4000 microns, and the second a sheet of open mesh plastics monofilament fabric of pore size 20-53 microns. In Fig. 1, the series is folded and gripped at two ends by tongues 27 of a plastics housing, the other sides being sealed to the housing which is made from two halves. In Fig. 4 the series is in the form of a collapsed pleated cylinder sealed in a plastics bag along the lines 52 an entry tube 55 being sealed and enclosed within the filter element series, flow being from inside to outside. The elements may be composed of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyamide or polycarbonate. The finer sheet, i.e. the second may be a woven square mesh having the filaments locked at their insections. The coarser sheet may be extruded, cast or moulded plastics having filaments joined at intersections. A support or spacer may be present between the two elements and may be of the same material as the coarse element having pores at least as large as the coarse element and within the range 800-10000 microns. The materials may be "Dacron" (RTM), Teflon (RTM), "Vexar" (RTM), "KEL-F" (RTM). The filters may be connected by Luer locks or have conduits shaped as spikes for piercing and joining into blood bags. [GB1438565A]

Claims (32)

Having regard to the foregoing disclosures, the following is claimed as the inventive and patentable embodiments thereof:
1. A blood filter element cascade which can be used in blood transfusions without blockage, and which is capable of removing large particles, such as blood clots, and also small particles down to approximately 20μ in size, while passing platelets, red blood cells and at least a substantial proportion of white blood cells, comprising in combination, two filter sheets, arranged in downstream flow sequence in order of progressively increasing fineness; (a) the first filter sheet comprising coarse open netting of plastic filamentary material having a pore size within the range from about 800 to about 4, 000 microns, small enough to remove blood clots, and coarse enough to do so without being subject to blocking by the blood clots that are strained out, and (b) the second filter sheet comprising an open mesh fabric of plastic monofilaments, having a pore size within the range from about 20 to about 50 microns, capable of removing microemboli, lipids and debris, and gas emboli, that pass through the first filter element while passing platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells .
2. A blood filter element cascade according to claim 1, in which the first filter sheet is an open-mesh netting prepared by extruding, casting, or molding plastic and having an integral filamentary structure.
3. A blood filter element cascade according to claim 2, in which the plastic material is selected from polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyamide, and polycarbonate.
4. A blood filter element cascade according to claim 1, in which the second filter sheet is a woven square-weave mesh of plastic monofilaments having a pore size within the range from about 20 to about 50 microns, the filaments being locked in place at their crossing points.
5. A blood filter element cascade in accordance with claim 4, in which the monofilaments have a diameter within the range from about 25 to about 50 microns .
6. A blood filter element cascade in accordance with claim 4, in which the plastic monofilaments are of polyester plastic.
7. A blood filter element cascade in accordance with claim 1, in which the filaments are heat set to lock them in place.
8. A blood filter element cascade according to claim 1, in which the two filter sheets are in close juxtaposition, and corrugated or convoluted to provide a high surface area to flow.
9. A blood filter element cascade according to claim 8, in which second filter sheet is juxtaposed to a spacer having a pore size at least as large as the first filter sheet, and within the range from about 800 to about 10, 000 microns .
10. A blood filter element cascade according to claim 9, in which the spacer has an uneven surface so as to provide drainage and prevent blocking of the filter sheet by the spacer.
11. A disposable blood filter unit comprising a blood filter element cascade according to claim 1, and a housing having an inlet and an outlet and line connections thereat for fluid flow into and out from the housing, the blood filter element cascade being disposed in the housing across the line of flow therebetween so that fluid flow therebetween must pass through the filter element cascade.
12. A disposable blood filter unit in accordance with claim 11, in which the blood filter element cascade is in the form of a cylinder, and one line connection has a direct fluid flow connection to the interior of the filter cylinder.
13. A disposable filter unit in accordance with claim 11, having a housing made in two portions bonded together.
14. A disposable filter unit in accordance with claim 13, made of plastic, with the portions fused together into one piece.
15. A disposable filter unit in accordance with claim 14, including line connections integral with the housing.
16. A disposable filter unit in accordance with claim 14, having the filter unit bonded to one housing portion.
17. A disposable filter unit in accordance with claim 16, having the filter unit bonded to one housing portion at the outlet with a direct fluid flow line connection from the filtrate-flow side of the filter element to the outlet.
18. A disposable blood filter unit according to claim 11, in which the housing is composed at least of first and second generally channel-shaped housing portions, defining therebetween a fluid chamber open at two sides, the first and second housing portions having opposed sides, with mating sections abutting and bonded in a fluid- tight seal to each other, and the blood filter element cascade in sheet form extending across the fluid chamber, across the line of fluid flow between the fluid ports and held at opposed side portions to at least one of the first and second housing portions, and side caps bonded to the first and second housing portions in a fluid-tight seal across the open sides of the fluid chamber and to the sides of the blood filter element cascade extending along such open sides, the side caps and the housing portions holding the sides of the blood filter element cascade, positioning the blood filter element cascade across the fluid chamber, and sealing all the sides of the blood filter element cascade to the housing, so that the fluid flow between the fluid ports must pass through the blood filter element cascade.
19. A disposable blood filter unit in accordance with claim 18, having four sides, two of the sides being defined by the side caps and two of the sides by the first and second housing portions, and the blood filter element cascade is in four- sided sheet form.
