Haemoconcentrator

Definition

A sterile filter intended to be used in the process of haemoconcentration (the concentration of blood elements by water and electrolyte removal) typically during treatment for fluid overload or during cardiac surgery involving extracorporeal circulation. It is typically an ultrafiltration filter contained within a closed cylindrical housing with connectors to an extracorporeal blood circuit and separate connectors for the removal of excess plasma water together with small plasma solutes (e.g., smaller than 50,000 Daltons); the haemoconcentrate is returned to the patient. This is a single-use device.
