The piston and hollow body 100 cooperatively generate a negative pressure, relative to ambient, within the hollow body during distal piston translation from first to a second position, thereby drawing a position = = = = 400 = = = =200 a fluid, such as blood, through the filter module into the hollow body. The piston and hol- low body cooperatively generate a positive pressure, relative to ambient, within the hol- low body during piston translation from the second position to the first position to egress the filtered fluid from the lioi!ow body. The filter module may include a filter housing, a filter medium disposed within the housing, and a 'body valve configured to seal an open distal face of the filter housing. = = 1-1 7r ei tz. tz. , - 1 FRG -1 1-1 IN 1-1 © ei 0 WO 2017/119924 Al 1#110H011010EIR010131011101101010IM0V0IS (84) Designated States (unless otherwise indicated, for every SI, SK, SM, TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, kind of regional protection available): ARIPO (BW, GM, KE, LR, LS, MW, MZ, NA, RW, SD, SL, ST, GH, SZ, GN, GQ, GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG).
