A blood purification system includes a line through which a liquid containing blood or filtrate flows, a plasma separation device to separate a plasma component from blood flowing through the line, a factor separating device to separate a factor component which is a pathogenic factor from the plasma component, a detector to detect blood information relating to blood flowing through the line, a liquid control mechanism to control flow of liquid in the line based on control parameters, a parameter acquisition module to input the detected blood information into a learning model trained to output predetermined control parameters when predetermined blood information is input, and acquire control parameters output from the learning model, and a control module to control the liquid control mechanism based on the acquired control parameters.

Apparatus and method for photo-chemical oxidation are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system for treating a dialysis fluid includes: a nanostructured photo-electrochemical anode; a source of light configured to illuminate the photo-electrochemical anode; and a cathode that is permeable to oxygen provided to the dialysis fluid and non-permeable to a liquid of the dialysis fluid. The photo-electrochemical anode is configured to remove urea from the dialysis fluid by converting the urea in the dialysis fluid into oxidation products through a photo electrochemical reaction.

A blood purification device includes a chamber, a liquid feed line, an air introduction unit, a liquid level adjustment unit, and a control unit. The chamber is provided on a blood circuit for extracorporeally circulating patient's blood and introduces purified plasma obtained by purifying plasma separated by a plasma separator provided on the blood circuit, or a replenishing liquid for replenishing the plasma separated by the plasma separator, into the blood circuit. The liquid feed line is capable of sending the purified plasma or the replenishing liquid to the chamber. The air introduction unit is capable of introducing air into the liquid feed line. The liquid level adjustment unit is capable of adjusting a liquid level height in the chamber. At the end of blood purification treatment, the control unit performs a liquid recovery process for sending the purified plasma or the replenishing liquid to the chamber via the liquid feed line while introducing air into the liquid feed line by the air introduction unit and maintains the liquid level height in the chamber at a predetermined liquid level height by the liquid level adjustment unit.

Selective extracorporeal blood disinfection systems and related methods are disclosed. The systems comprise an input tube forming a flowpath for the flow of infected blood. The systems further comprise a disinfection unit comprising a microbicidal light emitting device configured to emit visible light within the range of about 380-425 nm and/or about 500-700 nm, and a treatment flowpath in communication with the input tube that is substantially transparent to the emitted light of the microbicidal light emitting device for receiving at least a portion of the flow of the infected blood therethrough. The microbicidal light emitting device effectuates a dose of the emitted light to the infected blood flowing through the treatment flowpath to disinfect the blood. The systems also comprise an output tube in fluid communication with the treatment flowpath forming a flowpath for the flow of the disinfected blood from the disinfection unit.

A system is described for the regional decoagulation of the blood in an extracorporeal circulation circuit comprising means for infusion of a solution of a citrate or citric acid on the main circuit, which are set upstream of the first filtration unit; for infusion of a solution for electrolyte restoration on the main circuit, which are set downstream of the filtration unit and a secondary circuit for recirculation of the plasma water obtained by the filtration unit. The secondary circuit comprises: a first cartridge comprising an anion-exchange resin charged with chlorine ions; a second cartridge comprising a cation-exchange resin charged with sodium and potassium ions, which is set downstream of the first cartridge and means for removal of a first fraction of the plasma water obtained by the filtration unit.
