A disposable, integrated extracorporeal blood circuit employed during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery performs gas exchange, heat transfer, and microemboli filtering functions in a way to conserve volume, to reduce setup and change out times, to eliminate a venous blood reservoir, and to substantially reduce blood-air interface. Blood from the patient or prime solution is routed through an air removal device that is equipped with air sensors for detection of air. An active air removal controller removes detected air from blood in the air removal device. A disposable circuit support module is used to mount the components of the disposable, integrated extracorporeal blood circuit in close proximity and in a desirable spatial relationship to optimize priming and use of the disposable, integrated extracorporeal blood circuit. A reusable circuit holder supports the disposable circuit support module in relation to a prime solution source, the active air removal controller and other components.

L'invention concerne un circuit sanguin extracorporel intégré jetable utilisé lors d'un pontage chirurgical cardio-pulmonaire, qui assure des fonctions d'échange gazeux, de transfert thermique et de filtrage de microemboles de manière à conserver le volume, à réduire les temps de réglage et de remplacement, à éliminer un réservoir de sang veineux, et à réduire sensiblement l'interface sang-air. Le sang provenant du patient ou la solution primaire est acheminé à travers un dispositif d'évacuation d'air équipé de détecteurs d'air. Un régulateur d'évacuation d'air actif évacue l'air détecté provenant du sang dans le dispositif d'évacuation d'air. On utilise un module support de circuit jetable pour monter les composants du circuit sanguin extracorporel intégré jetable à proximité les uns des autres et selon une relation spatiale voulue pour optimiser l'amorçage et l'utilisation de ce circuit. Un porte-circuit réutilisable supporte le module support de circuit jetable par rapport à la source de solution primaire, au régulateur d'évacuation d'air actif et à d'autres composants..
