機能が損なわれてしまう。2. Description of the Related Art A blood processing apparatus used for medical purposes includes a hemodialyzer, a hemofilter, and a hemodialyzer used for treating patients with renal failure.
There are hemofiltration dialyzer, systemic lupus erythematosus, plasma separator used for treatment of macroglobulinemia, etc. The hemodialyzer removes urea accumulated in the blood mainly by diffusion, the hemofilter mainly removes it by filtration, and the hemofiltration dialyzer combines diffusion and filtration to eliminate unnecessary substances in the blood. Used to remove material. Normal,
It is used by flowing blood through the hollow fiber membrane lumen and circulating a dialysate outside the hollow fiber membrane. A plasma separator is a treatment that allows blood to flow through the hollow fiber membrane lumen, separates plasma containing the etiological agent that passes through the hollow fiber membrane from blood, and replaces it with fresh frozen plasma to remove the etiological agent from the blood. Used in law. In any of the methods, a large number of hollow fiber membranes are used in order to efficiently perform substance exchange, and only one of the hollow fiber membranes is damaged to bring blood into contact with the liquid outside the hollow fiber membranes. This causes blood leakage and impairs the function as a therapeutic tool.

存するので、異物混入の原因となる。A conventional leak test method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-58.
No. -75559, a hollow fiber membrane external space is filled with a liquid having a surface tension equal to or higher than the critical surface tension of the hollow fiber membrane,
A method is described in which the liquid is pressurized at a pressure lower than the pressure at which the liquid continuously starts to permeate the pores of the hollow fiber membrane and the liquid permeated at the open end of the hollow fiber is detected. Therefore, it took time and attention to check many hollow fiber membranes. JP-A-60-94105
In No. 6, a gas or liquid is supplied across the hollow fiber membrane to detect the pressure or flow rate, but as a method to detect the leak of the hollow fiber membrane that does not substantially permeate the gas or liquid. Can be easily tested, but it is difficult to set a critical value for determining the presence or absence of a leak in a hollow fiber membrane through which a gas or a liquid permeates. In JP-A-2-284035, the average pore size of the membrane is 0.01 μm.
It is described that in the above hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane, a test is conducted by applying pressure from the outside using a liquid in which 0.1 to 10 wt% of a high boiling point solvent capable of making the membrane hydrophilic is dissolved. Since a high boiling point solvent must be used, it becomes necessary to prepare a solution, remove the solvent, etc., and new work is required. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-1
No. 17957 describes passing fine particles through a membrane and measuring the number of fine particles passing through. When used for blood treatment, the fine particles used in the test remain in the membrane, which causes contamination by foreign substances.

Therefore, it is easier to measure the amount of water passing through the membrane, and the inspection system is improved by using other fine particles.

断する明確な基準を設定することが困難である。In a leak test of a blood treatment apparatus using a large number of hollow fiber membranes having fine pores in which a hydrophilic substance is attached or bonded to a hydrophobic substrate, when a gas is used, the gas passes through the fine pores. Therefore, it is difficult to set a clear standard for determining the presence or absence of leaks.On the other hand, when water is used, the membrane has a slight hydrophilic property, and the micropores gradually become wet. In this case as well, it is difficult to set a clear standard for determining the presence or absence of a leak.

理装置から除去しなければならない。In the case of such a membrane, once the fine pores are made hydrophilic, the fine pores become gas impermeable up to the pressure (bubble point) for pushing out the water in the fine pores, and the inter-membrane below the bubble point is reached. By giving a pressure difference and observing a change in pressure as to whether or not a gas passes, it is possible to easily determine the presence or absence of a leak. As a method of hydrophilizing a membrane, it has been proposed to mix a liquid capable of hydrophilizing with water, but particularly in a blood processing apparatus used for the human body, the liquid mixed for hydrophilizing is a foreign substance to the living body. In many cases, it must be removed from the blood processing device after the leak test.

Then, the pressure for reducing the pressure after filling with water, which enables the leak test to be performed accurately, was examined. In addition, after hydrophilization, the water in either of the two chambers separated by the membrane is expelled and pressurized with gas to a prescribed pressure, and the pressure of the pressure master that generates the prescribed pressure is the pressure of the pressurized chamber of the blood processing apparatus. The change in pressure after a certain period of time is read, and if the change in pressure is within a predetermined value, it can be determined that there is no leak, and if it is at least a predetermined value, it can be determined that there is a leak.
