System for correction of a biological fluid
First Claim
1. A system for correcting a patient'"'"'s biological fluid containing various low-, medium- and high-molecular toxins by interaction of the biological fluid with magneto-conductive particles, the system comprising:
- (i) an outlet means for attaching to the patient'"'"'s body for substantially continuously withdrawing therefrom the biological fluid containing the various toxins;
(ii) an inlet means for attaching to the patient'"'"'s body for returning corrected biological fluid back into the patient'"'"'s body;
(iii) an extracorporeal flow line interconnected between the outlet and inlet means for passing therethrough, in a substantially continuous flow, a predetermined amount of the biological fluid substantially not exceeding 100 ml, the flow line comprising first and second flexible tubes and a sealed vessel with a plurality of magneto-conductive particles within its bottom region, the first tube being connected between the outlet means and the particles, the second tube being connected between the inlet means and a top region of the vessel, said magneto-conductive particles being capable of absorbing the toxins in the biological fluid, whereby said predetermined amount of biological fluid becomes mixed with said magneto-conductive particles to obtain a mixture of the biological fluid with said particles;
(iv) a magnetic mechanism comprising a magnetic field source producing a magnetic field region within a flow of said mixture for retaining said magneto-conductive particles in said region from a flow of particle-free biological fluid to be returned into the patient'"'"'s body through the inlet means; and
(v) a pump assembly that provides the biological fluid flow through the flow line with a predetermined speed value.

Abstract
A system is presented for correction of a patient'"'"'s biological fluid, such as his blood, lymph or spinal fluid, containing various low-, medium- and high-molecular toxins. The system comprises an extracorporeal flow line in the form of a flexible tube interconnected between outlet and inlet means attached to appropriate location(s) on a patient'"'"'s body. A small amount of the biological fluid, i.e., substantially not exceeding 100 ml, substantially continuously flows through the tube, and is mixed with magneto-conductive particles capable of adsorbing the various toxins. An obtained mixture of the biological fluid with the particles passes through a magnetic field region, and substantially all of the magneto-conductive particles are retained therein. Particle-free biological fluid is then returned into the patient'"'"'s body through the inlet means.

35. A system, for correcting a patient'"'"'s biological fluid containing various low-, medium- and high-molecular toxins by interaction of the biological fluid with magneto-conductive particles, the system comprising:
-
(i) an outlet means for attaching to the patient'"'"'s body for substantially continuously withdrawing therefrom the biological fluid containing the various toxins;
(ii) an inlet means for attaching to the patient'"'"'s body for returning corrected biological fluid back into the patient'"'"'s body;
(iii) an extracorporeal flow line interconnected between the outlet and inlet means for passing therethrough, in a substantially continuous flow path, a predetermined amount of the biological fluid substantially not exceeding 100 ml, the extracorporeal flow line comprising a mixing means located in the flow path of the biological fluid containing the various toxins, said mixing means being adapted to thereby provide mixing of the biological fluid with a plurality of magneto-conductive particles capable of adsorbing said toxins for obtaining a mixture of the biological fluid with the magneto-conductive particles during operation of said system; and
(iv) a magnetic mechanism comprising a magnetic field source producing a magnetic field region within a flow of said mixture for retaining the magneto-conductive particles in said region from a flow of particle-free biological fluid to be returned into the patient'"'"'s body through the inlet means during operation of said system. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63)
