Zusammenfassung:The device described herein converges the plasma separation function of a hollow-fiber plasmapheresis device with a formulation or cocktail of two or more adsorbent components housed in the extra-lumen space (outside the fiber walls, yet inside the outer shell of the plasmapheresis device) to optimize the adsorption of viral pathogens, shed viral proteins and viral exosomes (collectively known as the Viral Targets) in a low-shear force environment without interacting with blood cells.
