In vitro Blood Compatibility Evaluation of Hollow Fibre Membrane Using a Controlled Flow System: A Comparative Study

A procedure has been established for the in vitro assessment of hollow fibre haemodialysis membranes. A 30 ml syringe containing 20 ml of fresh non-anticoagulated blood was mounted onto a non-pulsatile syringe pump and blood was perfused through minimodules constructed from 80 fibres retrieved from Cuprophan (Baxter ST15), cellulose acetate (M57-12, JMS Co Ltd, Hiroshima, Japan), and AN69HF (Filtral 20, Hospal, France) dialysers. Samples were collected before perfusion, 3, 6, 9 and 12 minutes. The modules were clamped vertically to minimise the effect of red cell pooling and the dialysate compartment was filled with 0.9% saline to minimise ultrafiltration. After sample processing, complement C3a, thrombin-antithrombin III complexes, prothrombin F1 + 2, and factor XII-like activity were evaluated. The results indicated that the system could discriminate between the membranes evaluated and therefore was a relevant procedure for the assessment of hollow fibre haemodialysis membranes.
