A new system to be used in ECUM was produced. This unit measures 513mm×355mm×323mm and incorporates a vacuum pomp and water tank of which temperature is controlled through a temperature controlling circuit. Negative pressure is controlled in the range of 0-450mmHg, and blood temperature in the range of 36-38°C by means of a heat exchanger. The unit is equipped with a blood pressure monitor, vacuum gauge and temperature monitor. The blood tube (3.4mm in diameter and 3M in length) is pre-coiled and disposable. The heat exchanger is used by putting the coiled blood tube into a plastic case.
The unit is easily prepared for use and is handled with ease. Efficacy of the fluid removal is excellent.
