Below, we will explain the case where it is used for ascites treatment as an example. Two types of semipermeable membranes with different pore sizes are used: a filtration membrane for eradicating bacteria and cancer-killing cells, and an ultrafiltration membrane for concentrating ascites. It will be done. In this device, ascites is first introduced through an inlet 8 and enters a room surrounded by a filtration membrane 3 for sterilization and cancer removal and an ultrafiltration membrane 5 for concentrating ascites. Then, low molecular weight substances such as electrolytes and water in the ascites pass through the ultrafiltration membrane 5 to the outlet 1.
0 and concentrated proteins such as albumin and globulin pass through the filter membrane 3 for sterilization and cancer removal cells and are led out from the outlet 7. Substances such as bacteria and cancer cells that do not pass through either membrane accumulate in the chamber surrounded by the filter membranes 3 and 5. These substances reduce the filtration efficiency of the filter membranes 3 and 5,
It is removed from the flash port 9 from time to time. in this way,
Filtration and concentration of ascites are performed in one processor.

Here, the filtration membrane 3 for eradicating bacteria and removing cancer cells is a membrane that allows proteins such as albumin and globulin, or substances with a lower molecular weight to pass through, but does not allow bacteria, cancer cells, etc. to pass through. Acetate membrane etc. can be used. The ultrafiltration membrane 5 for concentrating ascites is a membrane that allows low molecular weight substances such as electrolytes and water to pass through, but does not allow proteins or higher molecular weight substances to pass through. For example, a polyacrylonitrile membrane can be used. Moreover, in the above-mentioned filtration concentrator, there may be a plurality of ascites inlets 8, ascites outlets 7, flush ports 9, and concentrated liquid discharge ports 10.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be used even if ascites is introduced through the ascites outlet 7. However, in this case, the flash port 9 must be attached to the top lid 1. The introduced ascites is filtered through a filter membrane 3 to remove bacteria and cancerous cells, and concentrated through an ultrafiltration membrane 5. A concentrated protein solution is obtained from the port shown at 8.

In this filtration concentrator, ascites is introduced through an inlet 20 and enters a room surrounded by a filtration membrane 12 for sterilizing and removing cancerous cells and an ultrafiltration membrane 13 for concentrating ascites. Then, low molecular weight substances such as electrolytes and water in the ascites pass through the ultrafiltration membrane 13 and are discharged from the outlet 22, and concentrated proteins such as albumin and globulin pass through the filtration membrane 12 for sterilization and cancer removal cells. and is led out from the outlet 19. During this process, the ascites comes into contact with the carbon fibers 18, and pyrogen substances that would otherwise pass through the filtration membrane 12 are adsorbed and removed, so that the concentrated proteins that are concentrated and led to the outlet 19 are harmful to living organisms. Contains no substances. Further, the carbon fiber 18 also functions as a spacer. Granular or powdered activated carbon (coconut husk charcoal, charcoal, pitch-based spherical charcoal, etc.) can also be used instead of carbon fiber.
Fibrous activated carbon is preferred because of its ease of manufacture. Furthermore, the activated carbon does not need to be placed at the position shown in FIG. 3, as long as it comes into contact with ascites containing protein. The activated carbon used in this case must be non-toxic and harmless to the human body.
