Integrated blood treatment module and extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus
First Claim
1. An integrated fluid treatment module comprising:
- a support element having a main body having;
two first opposite sides and two second opposite sides, said two second opposite sides being shorter than said two first opposite sides, andat least one peripheral wall protecting away from said two second opposite sides;
fluid distribution circuitry associated to the support element and comprising;
at least a blood line, at least a portion of said blood line being fastened to one of said two second opposite sides of the support element and defining at least a U-shaped tube length with respect to said support element, said U-shaped tube length being designed to cooperate with a respective pump and extending inside the at least one peripheral wall of the support element; and
further fluid lines secured to at least one of said two first opposite sides of the support element, each of said further fluid lines defining at least a U-shaped tube length with respect to said support element, each said U-shaped tube length being designed to cooperate with a respective pump and extending inside the at least one peripheral wall of the support element, said U-shaped tube length of the blood line being longer and having a radius of curvature greater than the tube lengths defined by said further fluid lines;
the support element having a first zone to which the U-shaped tube length of the blood line is fastened, and at least a second zone opposite said first zone to which the U-shaped tube lengths of the further fluid lines are all fastened, said second zone comprising a first half-part and a second half part reciprocally placed side by side and being symmetrical along a longitudinal axis of the main body, the further fluid lines including two fluid lines connected to said first half-part and two fluid lines connected to said second half-part.

Abstract
The invention relates to an integrated blood treatment module (1) comprising a support element (4) and a fluid distribution circuitry associated thereto; the distribution circuitry comprises at least a blood line (44), a portion of which is secured to the support element and defines with the latter at least a U-shaped tube length (44a) designed to cooperate, when in use, with a respective pump (3a). There are then further fluid lines (45, 48, 50, 51) fastened to the support element and defining each at least a U-shaped tube length (45a, 48a, 50a, 51a) with respect to said element and each designed to cooperate, when in use, with a respective pump (3b, 3c, 3d, 3e). The support element has a first zone (274) in which the portion of the blood line is secured, and at least a second zone (275) opposite said first zone, to which all the corresponding further tube lengths are fastened.

27. An integrated fluid treatment module comprising:
-
a support element including; a front wall having two first opposite sides and two second opposite sides, the two first opposite sides being substantially parallel and reciprocally facing, said two first opposite sides having a substantially rectilinear development, each of said two first opposite sides having two curved portions, wherein cavities formed by each of said two curved portions on one of said two first opposite sides face the other of said two first opposite sides; and the two second opposite sides being substantially parallel and reciprocally facing, said two second opposite sides having a substantially rectilinear development, at least one of said two second opposite sides having a curved portion placed between two rectilinear lengths, a cavity formed by said curved portion on one of said two second opposite sides facing the other of said two second opposite sides, at least a peripheral wall projecting away from said two second opposite sides; fluid distribution circuitry associated to the support element and comprising; at least one blood line, at least a portion of said at least one blood line being fastened to the peripheral wall of the support element corresponding to the curved portion of one of said two second opposite sides, said at least one blood line defining at least one U-shaped tube length with respect to said support element, said at least one U-shaped tube length being configured to cooperate with a respective pump and to extend inside the peripheral wall of the support element; and further fluid lines secured to the peripheral wall of the support element corresponding to the curved portions of said two first opposite sides, each of said further fluid lines defining at least one U-shaped tube length with respect to said support element, each of said at least one U-shaped tube length being configured to cooperate with a respective pump and to extend inside the peripheral wall of the support element. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)
