  • the present invention relates generally to medical devices and methods. More specifically, the present invention relates to devices and methods for extracorporeal circulation, analysis, filtering and conditioning of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
  • CSF cerebrospinal fluid
  • Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, watery fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It is produced in the human central nervous system (CNS) at a rate of about 0.3 ml/min in healthy adults. The total volume found in the ventricles and subarachnoid space is about 150ml at any moment. Thus the total volume is naturally replaced approximately 3 times a day. In normally functioning anatomy, the fluid naturally follows a circuit from production in the lateral ventricles, circulation over the surface of the brain and spinal cord and eventual drainage through the arachnoid granulations at the venous sinuses and lymphatic vessels.
  • the composition of the fluid can have a direct impact on the health of the brain with beneficial components in the fluid promoting brain health and pathogenic components having a deleterious effect on the brain.

  • the introduction of medicament into this fluid has also been shown to produce beneficial results.
  • the problem is compounded by the small diameter and long length of the extracorporeal circulation which causes "head loss" during flow, with pressures dynamically increasing in front of restrictions, and decreasing behind restrictions in the flow loop.

  • the pressure in the extracorporeal circulation loop can change for a variety of other reasons such as restrictions (clogs, kinks, crushed tubing, closed valves, filter loading, etc), or changes in the patient's condition. (CSF leak, CSF overproduction, brain swelling, patient motion, etc).
  • each one of these references suffers from one or more of the following shortcomings: they rely on passive drainage of the CSF to the extracorporeal circulation loop which limits the drainage to the natural generation rate of the fluid in the CNS thereby limiting the amount of fluid that can be treated in a reasonable treatment session; they provide imprecise measurement of pressure in the circulation loop which exposes the patient to risk of excessive or insufficient CSF pressure in subarachnoid space with all the attendant risks already mentioned for that condition; they measure the pressure in the circulation loop at only one location so that they are not assured that the pressure at the point of drainage and reintroduction are equivalent thereby potentially creating undesirable intracranial pressure fluctuations in the subarachnoid space; the pressure monitoring alarm limits applied by the referenced systems do not take into account the shape of the pressure waveforms that exists in CSF pumping system so they must be set outside optimal limit levels to avoid false alarms caused by natural spikes and troughs in pressure waveforms thereby exposing the patient to unsafe pressure fluctuations or sub-optimal flow rates; the pressure sensing performed by

This provides for enhanced precision of measurement of the patient's intracranial pressure (ICP), which is best measured under static conditions, and the transmembrane pressure of the filters, which is best measured 245 under dynamic conditions. Precise measurements of these two pressures are provided as feedback to the controller which responds with modulations to the pumping waveform and filter maintenance schedule which would not be available without this feature. b. integrated feedback of therapy effectiveness by examining trends in pathogen concentrations detected by sensors and using that information to analyze filter
