1. A disposable apparatus for use in filtering blood comprising:
- a molded plastic substrate having a first flow path and a second flow path formed therein, wherein said first flow path and second flow path are fluidically isolated from each other, wherein the molded plastic substrate comprises a plurality of concave spaces;
a hemofilter cartridge positioned within a first of said plurality of concave spaces and in fluid communication with said first flow path and said second flow path;
at least one sensor positioned within a second of said plurality of concave spaces;
a plurality of ports integrated into said molded plastic substrate;
a plurality of interfacing components, each of said interfacing components configured to have at least 5 pounds of strength and a seal up to 600 mmHg; and
embedded data, wherein said embedded data uniquely identifies the disposable apparatus and wherein said disposable apparatus is caused to be unusable based on said embedded data.
