A dialyzer apparatus in an artificial kidney system comprising a dialyzer main body having therein a blood flow passage and a dialyzing liquid flow passage separated by a dialyzing membrane. Integrally formed at the front surface of the main body is an air removal chamber which is in communication with the outlet of the blood flow passage and a liquid level adjusting chamber which is in communication with the air removal chamber. A pipe passage extends downwards from the air removal chamber for return of purified blood to the patient. The main body of the dialyzer is also integrally formed at its rear surface with a pair of further pipe passages which are respectively in communication with the inlet and outlet of the dialyzing liquid flow passage. A bottom cover member has a pair of medical liquid chambers integrally formed therewith and the bottom cover is mounted on and connected to the lower surface of the main body. The medical liquid chambers respectively communicate with the inlet and the outlet of the blood flow passage.
A dialyzer apparatus in an artificial kidney system comprising a dialyzer main body having therein a blood flow passage and a dialyzing liquid flow passage, a top cover member mounted on and connected to the upper surface of the dialyzer main body, a dialyzing membrane separating the blood flow passage and the dialyzing liquid flow passage, said blood flow passage and dialyzing liquid flow passage having respective inlets and outlets, said body having upper and lower surfaces and front and rear surfaces, said body being formed integrally at its front surface with (a) an air removal chamber which is in communication with the outlet of said blood flow passage, (b) a liquid level adjusting chamber which is in communication with the air removal chamber, and (c) a pipe passage extending downwards from the air removal chamber, said body being also formed integrally at its rear surface with a pair of further pipe passages which are in communication with the inlet and outlet respectively, of the dialyzing liquid flow passage, and a bottom cover member having a pair of chambers formed integrally therewith mounted on and connected to the lower surface of the main body, said bottom cover member including two connection passages constituting an inlet and outlet respectively for said blood flow passage, said inlet passage communicating with one of said chambers, and said outlet passage communicating with the other of said chambers.
