Abstract
In an apparatus for the extra-corporal treatment of blood wherein blood is supplied from a body to a vacuum bottle via a conduit and an insertion spike, the insertion spike is in communication, by way of a gas hose, with a pressure compensation bag from which a predetermined amount of gas can be supplied to the insertion spike for foaming the blood in the vacuum bottle, whereby no excess pressure can be generated in the vacuum bottle. The blood conduit further includes a quartz glass portion to permit UV irradiation of the blood while passing therethrough.
