Pre-clinical laboratory evaluation of the new ‘AF’ arterial line filter range:

摘要: Introduction: The presence of emboli was recognised relatively early in the history open heart surgery. produced during cardiopulmonary bypass have predisposition to distribute into, and ultimately obstruct, microvessels all tissues. Sorin Group has recently developed a new range arterial line filters. Before AF filters released for pre-launch clinical trials, our group performed vitro laboratory testing against selection commercially available on global market.Results: AF620 AF640 demonstrate both smallest prime volume surface contact area (92ml 290cm2, respectively).The results GME Handling Efficiency experiments ranged by 39.6%, from 95.9% 56.3%. In terms an air bolus handling, Limit Bolus experiment 97ml, 147.5ml down 50ml. pressure drop across measured under steady state experimental conditions. All a...
