Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods of preparing an extracorporeal circuit for circulating blood. The methods of preparation include ascertaining the adsorptive potential of an anticoagulant to a filter membrane material and adjusting priming of the circuit in accordance.
Claims35
A method of preparing an extracorporeal circuit for blood flow through the circuit, the method comprising
- ascertaining the adsorptive potential of an anticoagulant to a filter membrane material within the extracorporeal circuit;
- determining a priming quantity of the anticoagulant for the extracorporeal circuit based on the adsorptive potential;
- determining a duration of system priming;
- and
- infusing the priming quantity of the anticoagulant into the extracorporeal circuit for the selected duration of system priming.
