Abstract:
1. A set of units for a device integrated in an extracorporeal blood circuit, comprising: a cardiotomy reservoir provided with connecting means; a venous reservoir provided with complementary connecting means that are shaped complementary to said connecting means of the cardiotomy reservoir; a venous bag provided with complementary connecting means thereof that are shaped complementary to said connecting means of said cardiotomy reservoir; a tube which protrudes from the cardiotomy reservoir and is adapted to selectively connect to the venous bag; wherein said venous bag comprises a rigid supporting base thereof and said venous reservoir comprises a lid and an outer enclosure, said complementary connecting means of the venous reservoir comprises a top ring and a bottom ring that are monolithically connected to said lid and, respectively, to said outer enclosure thereof, and said complementary connecting means of the venous bag comprises a top ring and a bottom ring that are monolithically connected to said rigid base, the rings of the venous reservoir being respectively identical to the the rings of the venous bag; and wherein said cardiotomy reservoir comprises a lid and a bottom, said connecting means of the cardiotomy reservoir comprises two cylindrical portions which protrude, respectively, from said lid and from said bottom thereof and being adapted to enter and lock selectively within said identical complementary connecting means of the venous reservoir or bag, whereby the set of units is assemblable so as to constitute a device integrated in an extracorporeal blood circuit that has a configuration selectively including either said cardiotomy reservoir and venous reservoir or said cardiotomy reservoir and said venous bag.
