Zusammenfassung:A dialyzer design (10) that includes a potting material (26,28) encasing a microfiber bundle (18) in each end (14,16) of a cylindrical body (12).The potting material is set by spinning the dialyzer (10) in a centrifuge to force the potting material to the ends of the dialyzer interior chamber, where it sets with a non-planar surface. Dialysate fluid distribution rings define a space between the dialyzer interior chamber and dialyzer inlet and outlet ports (24,22), and laterally support the microfiber bundle (18) against the dialysate fluid flow pressure. The dialysate fluid distribution ring circumferential edge substantially conforms to the non-planar potting material surface, to ensure that the lateral support to the microfiber bundle (18) is constant, thereby lessening distortion, rupturing and obstruction of the microfibers.
