Abstract
In a blood reservoir comprising a hollow housing and filtration/defoaming and blood collecting sections therein; the blood collecting section is located below and separated from the filtration/defoaming section receiving bubbled blood and has a sufficient capacity, typically 500 to 2,500 ml, to keep blood collected therein out of contact with the filtration/defoaming section; guide means in the form of a cone-shaped deflector is disposed between the filtration/defoaming section and the base of the housing to lead along its inner surface defoamed blood from the filtration/defoaming section to the collecting section without dripping. The filtration/defoaming section includes a concentric assembly of a pleated filter, a tubular member inwardly spaced apart from the filter to define a blood channel inside and to define a space outside for allowing bubbles to separate from the blood, a defoaming member about the filter, and a cylindrical distributor member inside the filter and extending through the tubular member, the tubular member protecting the upper portion of the filter from being wetted with blood.
