Abstract:
Blood treatment apparatus comprise an enclosure having one or more blood treatment modules, typically, hollow fiber bundles, therein. A blood flow inlet distribution network divides an inlet blood flow into a series of successive individual blood flow stages in order to increase uniformity of the distribution of the blood flow into the hollow fiber bundles. The inlet blood flow may be divided in two, three, four, or more stages, providing a large number of end stage flow channels to feed blood into the hollow fiber bundle.
