Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the embodiment, the cleaning filter device 1 through which the priming liquid flows will be described as an example of the fluid processing device. Further, as an extracorporeal circulation circuit, a blood circulation circuit 100 will be described as an example.
However, the fluid flowing through the fluid treatment apparatus is not limited to the priming liquid, and may be blood, other drugs, or the like. The fluid treatment device may be an artificial lung, a blood filter, a heat exchanger, a blood concentrator, a blood storage tank, a blood pump, or the like. The extracorporeal circulation circuit may be a cardioplegic circuit or the like.

(Blood circulation circuit 100)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a blood circulation circuit 100. The blood circulation circuit 100 is used for an artificial heart-lung machine, and includes a blood storage tank 3, a blood pump 4, an artificial lung 5, a blood filter device 6, and a cleaning filter device 1 for circuit cleaning. Each device is connected by a flexible tube 101 such as polyvinyl chloride.

In the following description, the case where the blood circulation circuit 100 is used as an artificial heart-lung machine system for collecting blood from a patient and delivering the blood is referred to as "normal use". Further, prior to "normal use", the operation of circulating a priming solution (for example, physiological saline) in the blood circulation circuit 100 to remove foreign substances and air bubbles existing in the blood circulation circuit 100 is called "priming". ..

(Blood storage tank 3)
The blood storage tank 3 stores blood taken out from the patient during normal use and a priming solution during priming.

(Blood pump 4)
The blood pump 4 is arranged on the downstream side of the blood storage tank 3 and circulates blood or a priming liquid. As the blood pump 4, a well-known centrifugal pump or roller pump is used. In the embodiment, a centrifugal pump is used to drive a rotating body provided inside to apply pressure to the blood or the priming liquid to circulate the blood or the priming liquid in the blood circulation circuit 100.

(Artificial lung 5)
The artificial lung 5 is arranged on the downstream side of the blood pump 4. The artificial lung 5 adjusts the temperature of blood pumped from the blood storage tank 3 to the patient during normal use, and exchanges blood gas (addition of oxygen, removal of carbon dioxide, etc.). Oxygen supply is realized by, for example, an oxygen cylinder or the like, and supplies oxygen to be added to blood.

(Blood filter device 6)
The blood filter device 6 filters blood and removes air bubbles in the blood during normal use.

(Cleaning filter device 1)
The wash filter device 1 is used during priming of the blood circulation circuit 100 and is removed after priming. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view including a cleaning filter device 1 and a part of a tube 101 connected to the cleaning filter device 1. The cleaning filter device 1 includes a filter material 10 and a container 20 for accommodating the filter material 10.

(Filter material 10)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing the filter material 10. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, by superimposing the mesh-shaped spacer 13 on the elongated plate-shaped core member 12, the supported spacer 10A supported by the core member 12 is formed. The mesh-shaped spacer 13 is manufactured from a polyolefin-based polymer material. As the spacer 13, it is particularly preferable to use a mesh using fibers made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The opening area (hole diameter) of the mesh is 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm, and the wire diameter of the fiber is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm.
In the embodiment, the spacer 13 is supported by the core member 12 by inserting the core member 12 into the bag-shaped (cylindrical) spacer 13. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the front surface and the back surface of the core member 12 may be wrapped with a flat spacer 13. Further, the spacer 13 may be arranged so as to overlap only one surface of the core member 12.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the porous hollow fiber 14 is wound around the outer periphery of the supported spacer 10A.
At this time, the hollow fiber 14 is wound so as to extend in the lateral direction S of the supported spacer 10A. That is, the hollow fiber 14 is wound from one end in the lateral direction S toward the other end on one surface side of the supported spacer 10A, turned around at the other end in the lateral direction S, and is turned on the other surface of the supported spacer 10A. On the side, it is wound from the other end in the lateral direction toward one end and turned at one end in the lateral direction. This is repeated and the hollow fiber 14 is wound around the outer circumference of the supported spacer 10A. At this time, it is preferable to wind the adjacent hollow fibers 14 so that they do not overlap each other and without gaps.
Then, the winding of the hollow fiber 14 is advanced from one side of the longitudinal direction L of the supported spacer 10A toward the other side, and the hollow fiber 14 is wound over substantially the entire supported spacer 10A.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, the core member 12 is removed from one of the longitudinal directions L of the supported spacer 10A around which the hollow fiber 14 is wound, and the hollow fiber 14 is wound around the outer periphery of the spacer 13. The bobbin winding body 10B is formed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3D, the hollow spool winding body 10B is wound from one side of the longitudinal direction L toward the other to form a cylindrical filter material 10 wound in a roll shape.

In the filter material 10 manufactured in this way, when the hollow fibers 14 are wound around the spacer 13 without gaps so as not to overlap with each other, the hollow fibers 14 are uniformly arranged on the surface of the spacer 13. Then, even when the hollow fibers 14 are rolled into a columnar shape, the hollow fibers 14 are arranged without bias, so that filtering unevenness does not occur.
Since the hollow fiber 14 is wound around the spacer 13, even when the core member 12 is removed and rolled into a columnar shape, the alignment of the hollow fibers 14 is maintained, so that filtering unevenness occurs. Does not occur.
Further, since the hollow fiber 14 is wound around the spacer 13, the hollow fibers 14 are prevented from coming into close contact with each other. Since the spacer 13 has a mesh shape, pressure loss during filtering can be suppressed. Further, the amount of the hollow fiber 14 for the spacer 13 can be reduced.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the cleaning filter device 1. FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged view of FIG.

When the blood pump 4 is driven, a priming fluid such as a physiological saline solution flows into the blood storage tank 3. The fluid flowing into the blood storage tank 3 is sucked by the blood pump 4, passes through the flow path L1, passes through the artificial lung 5, and is separated into the flow path L2 and the flow path L3 in two directions. The fluid passing through one of the flow paths L2 enters the blood filter device 6. The fluid passing through the other flow path L3 is further separated into a flow path L4 and a flow path L5 in two directions. The fluid in the flow path L4 enters the blood filter device 6, merges with the fluid in the flow path L2, flows through the flow path L6, and returns to the blood storage tank 3. The fluid in the flow path L5 is further separated into a flow path L7 and a flow path L8 in two directions. The fluid in the flow path L7 flows through the cleaning filter device 1.
Here, in the cleaning filter device 1, foreign matter in the blood circulation circuit 100 flowing with the fluid is removed. The fluid from which the foreign matter has been removed separates into the flow path L9 and the flow path L10, then merges and flows through the flow path L7 again, merges with the fluid in the flow path L8, flows through the flow path L5, and flows into the blood storage tank 3. do.

First, when the pressing portion 45 is pressed in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 10A, the insertion portion 44 moves downward in the figure. As a result, the lock surface 49 of the through hole 47 provided in the insertion portion 44 and the bottom surface of the first circumferential groove 51 are separated from each other, and the first attachment / detachment portion 40A on the device side and the second attachment / detachment portion 50A on the tube side are locked. It will be unlocked. Then, as shown in FIG. 10B, the tube-side second attachment / detachment portion 50A can be pulled out from the device-side first attachment / detachment portion 40A.

As described above, the removal of the tube-side second attachment / detachment portion 50A of the upstream-side tube 101U second attachment / detachment member 80 from the device-side first attachment / detachment portion 40A of the cleaning filter device 1 also presses the pressing portion 45 upstream. The second attachment / detachment member 80 of the side tube 101U can be pulled out from the device side first attachment / detachment portion 40A of the cleaning filter device 1 by a one-touch operation. Therefore, the upstream tube 101U can be easily removed from the cleaning filter device 1.

Further, the removal of the tube-side first attachment / detachment portion 40B of the downstream side tube 101D and the device-side second attachment / detachment portion 50B of the cleaning filter device 1 is also performed by the device of the cleaning filter device 1 of the second attachment / detachment member 80 of the upstream side tube 101U. Similar to the removal from the side first attachment / detachment portion 40A, the pressing portion 45 is simply pressed and the tube side first attachment / detachment portion 40B of the downstream side tube 101D is pulled out from the device side second attachment / detachment portion 50B of the cleaning filter device 1. It is possible with one-touch operation. Therefore, the downstream tube 101D can be easily removed from the cleaning filter device 1.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, the tube side second attachment / detachment portion 50A of the second attachment / detachment member 80 inserted into the upstream side tube 101U and the tube of the first attachment / detachment member 90 inserted into the downstream side tube 101D. The cleaning filter device 1 removed from the side first attachment / detachment portion 40B is removed from the blood circulation circuit 100.
Next, as shown in FIG. 9C, the tube-side second attachment / detachment portion 50A of the second attachment / detachment member 80 of the upstream side tube 101U and the tube-side first attachment / detachment portion 40B of the downstream side tube 101D are connected. At this time, the tube-side second attachment / detachment portion 50A and the tube-side first attachment / detachment portion 40B can be connected with one touch as described above. Therefore, the connection between the upstream tube 101U and the downstream tube 101D is easy.

After connecting the tubes, the flow path L9 and the flow path L10 shown in FIG. 1 are cut in the middle, and a catheter is connected to the cut portion, whereby foreign matter is removed from the blood circulation circuit 100. Moreover, it becomes an artificial heart-lung machine system in which no bubbles remain.

Further, when the fluid treatment apparatus is an artificial lung, the use of the fluid treatment apparatus may cause clogging of the fluid treatment apparatus. In this case, it is conceivable to replace the clogged fluid treatment device or the entire blood circuit including the fluid treatment device other than the artificial lung.
Also in this case, it is possible to easily remove the clogged fluid treatment device from between the upstream tube 101U and the downstream tube 101D, and to attach another fluid treatment device, and further, the extracorporeal including the circuit. It has the effect of reducing the cost of replacing the entire circulatory system.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be carried out in various forms without being limited to the above-described embodiment.
For example, the structure of the lock mechanism is not limited to the lock surface 49 and the operation member 43 as in the embodiment, and may be another structure as long as it can be attached and detached with one touch.

In the embodiment, the device-side first attachment / detachment portion 40A and the tube-side first attachment / detachment portion 40B are provided at the end portions of the fluid inlet 25 and the downstream side tube 101D of the cleaning filter device 1, and the tube-side second attachment / detachment portion 50A and the device. The side second attachment / detachment portion 50B is provided at the end of the upstream side tube 101U and at the fluid outlet 28 of the cleaning filter device 1.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the tube-side second attachment / detachment portion 50A and the device-side second attachment / detachment portion 50B are provided at the end of the downstream-side tube 101D and the fluid inlet 25 of the cleaning filter device 1, and the device-side first attachment / detachment portion 50B is provided. The portion 40A and the tube-side first attachment / detachment portion 40B may be provided at the end portions of the fluid outlet 28 and the upstream-side tube 101U of the cleaning filter device 1.
