Therefore, in the case of continuously processing liquids having different compositions and the like, not only replacement of modules and transport tubes, but also cleaning or replacement of a pumping device is required. In addition, in the case of a medical entrance lung, the exchange device and the pump device are currently separate, and when bypassing from outside the body, the path is long and complicated, but the exchange unit and the pump unit are integrated. This simplifies the device itself, shortens the bypass, and reduces pressure loss and external effects due to the tubing.

A hollow fiber membrane 2,2 'having a rubber-like elasticity such as a silicone rubber hollow fiber membrane having a thickness of preferably about 2.5 mm or less and an outer diameter (mm) .times.0.3 or less is provided in the tubular body 1. Are housed as a group of a large number of pottings with potting 3 at their ends. At both ends 4, 4 ', a liquid to be treated inlet 5 and a treated liquid outlet 6 are provided, and when the pumping device 7 is depressurized, the diameter of the hollow fiber membrane having rubber elasticity is reduced. Bulges and the valve balls 8, 8 'are drawn inward as shown, but the valve ball 8 on the liquid suction port side is restrained from further movement by the net 9, so that the liquid suction port 5 When the pumping device 7 is pressurized, the diameter of the hollow fiber membrane having rubber elasticity is reduced, and the valve balls 8, 8 'are pushed outward, but the liquid is discharged. Further movement of the valve ball 8 'on the outlet side is suppressed by the net 9', so that the treated liquid can be discharged from the discharge port 6.

A gas inlet 10 is provided on the body of the tubular body 1 at the liquid inlet side.
However, gas outlets 11 are provided on the liquid outlet side, respectively, and these are connected to the pumping device 7. The pumping device can pulsate the hollow fiber membrane group having rubber-like elasticity by changing the pressure of the gas supplied into the cylindrical body and repeating the depressurization and pressurization as described above.
