The present disclosure relates to a casting device for producing a potting for a gas exchanger and a method for producing such a potting. Accordingly, a casting device is proposed for producing a potting for a gas exchanger under the influence of a centrifugal force, comprising a distributor comprising an opening and at least one continuous channel and adapted to receive a fluid potting material via the opening and to guide it via the at least one channel. The casting device further comprises a cassette defining an inner cavity for receiving gas exchanger elements and which is fluidly connected to the at least one channel. The distributor comprises at least two distributor components which, in the assembled state of the distributor, define the opening, are connected to one another in a leak-proof manner, and form the at least one channel between adjacent regions.

Potting apparatus for a gas exchanger

The invention relates to a method for producing a device for material exchange between two mediums, in which at least one mat of semipermeable hollow fibres () is wound onto a winding core (), which has at least one core opening () in its outer surface for a first in- or out-flowing medium, and the winding core () is arranged in an axially extending housing () having at least one housing opening () for the first in- or out-flowing medium, and the axial end regions of the housing () are sealed by an adhesive () arranged around the hollow fibres (), wherein at least one chamber region () surrounding the hollow fibres () is formed via the adhesion between the axial end regions () of the housing () and between the winding core () and the housing (), through which chamber region the first medium can flow via the core opening () and the housing opening (), wherein the axial distance between the core opening () and the housing opening () is adjusted to a desired value of multiple possible values via the axial shifting of the winding core () relative to the hollow fibre winding () arranged around the winding core () and relative to the housing (), and the hollow fibres () are adhered to the side of the housing () near to the housing opening () in a region between the axial end surface of the housing and the housing opening (), and the hollow fibres () are adhered to the side of the housing () near to the core opening () in a region between the axial end surface of the housing and the core opening (). The invention also relates to a number of multiple devices for material exchange between two mediums, wherein all devices comprise at least identical housings () and winding cores () that are identical at least in regions.

Tubular fiber membrane for material exchange and method of making same

A system for the extracorporeal elimination of carbon monoxide, includes at least one pump and a gas exchange chamber, wherein the at least one pump can be connected to the blood circulatory system of a person by way of a first tube section connectable to a cannula and is connected to a gas exchange chamber via a second tube section, wherein the system is configured to transfer blood, via the first tube section, from the blood circulatory system of the person by way of at least one pump into the gas exchange chamber, and to return the blood from the gas exchange chamber to the blood circulatory system of the person via the same first tube section.
