Patent ID: 7223336

Claim:
An integrated fluid treatment module comprising: a support element having a main body having: two first opposite sides and two second opposite sides, said two second opposite sides being shorter than said two first opposite sides, and at least one peripheral wall protecting away from said two second opposite sides; fluid distribution circuitry associated to the support element and comprising: at least a blood line, at least a portion of said blood line being fastened to one of said two second opposite sides of the support element and defining at least a U-shaped tube length with respect to said support element, said U-shaped tube length being designed to cooperate with a respective pump and extending inside the at least one peripheral wall of the support element; and further fluid lines secured to at least one of said two first opposite sides of the support element, each of said further fluid lines defining at least a U-shaped tube length with respect to said support element, each said U-shaped tube length being designed to cooperate with a respective pump and extending inside the at least one peripheral wall of the support element, said U-shaped tube length of the blood line being longer and having a radius of curvature greater than the tube lengths defined by said further fluid lines; the support element having a first zone to which the U-shaped tube length of the blood line is fastened, and at least a second zone opposite said first zone to which the U-shaped tube lengths of the further fluid lines are all fastened, said second zone comprising a first half-part and a second half part reciprocally placed side by side and being symmetrical along a longitudinal axis of the main body, the further fluid lines including two fluid lines connected to said first half-part and two fluid lines connected to said second half-part.
