The embodiment of the present application provides a membrane oxygenation device, including a shell, a diverter column is arranged in the shell, a heat exchange part and an oxygenation part are arranged between the diverter column and the shell from the inside to the outside, and a blood inlet and a blood outlet are arranged on the shell; a connector is arranged above the diverter column, and the connector and the diverter column are connected by a plurality of spaced connectors, blood flows into the shell from the blood inlet and is diverted by the diverter column, and then flows into the heat exchange part along the circumferential direction of the shell. The present application can solve the problem of uneven blood flow rate caused by a single outlet in conventional vertical oxygenators.

A sensor assembly stores calibration information thereon even after a blood circuit is filled with fluid. A pressure sensor element 42 measures a value of pressure in a fluid flow channel 45. A storage unit 51 which is integrated with sensor element 42 stores, as calibration information, a calibration value determined in advance according to a value indicated by the pressure sensor element 42 in a state in which the pressure sensor element 42 is opened to atmospheric pressure and in which the internal pressure in a fluid flow channel 45 of the pressure sensor element 42 is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Measured pressure values and the calibration value are provided to a control unit which adjusts the measured values on the basis of the calibration information.

Fluid reactors include a sealed housing enclosing a reactor core that includes at least one substrate-free multichannel reactor core element. Each reactor core element is made from a non-substrate mounted, open pore cellular network material having an asymmetric, tortuous, bi-continuous two-phase material structure and contains multiple perforating fluid channels. Multiple reactor core elements can be serially and/or parallelly piped in a sealed manner to form a reactor core for a fluid reactor with a higher production capacity.

The invention relates to a holding means for holding an oxygenator and a blood pump. The holding means is characterised by a frame that can be connected with a carrying case housing in a torque-proof way for fitting the oxygenator and the blood pump relative to each other, wherein the frame has a frame section for connection with the oxygenator in a torque-proof way and another frame section for connection with the blood pump in a torque-proof way.

Dialyzer systems can consolidate multiple technologies and functionalities of blood treatment systems in a significantly integrated fashion. For example, this disclosure describes dialyzer systems that include a magnetically driven and magnetically levitating pump rotor integrated into the dialyzer. Such a dialyzer can be used with treatment modules that include a magnetic field-generating pump drive unit. In some embodiments, the dialyzers include pressure sensor chambers with flexible membranes with which corresponding pressure transducers of the treatment modules can interface to detect arterial and/or venous pressures.
