Abstract:
Intravascular membrane oxygenator catheter systems and methods are disclosed, along with methods of making and using the same. A catheter system includes a catheter shaft having a wall that extends from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis to define a lumen, a plurality of hollow fiber membrane loops each having a proximal portion positioned within the lumen of the catheter shaft and a distal portion extending beyond the lumen of the catheter shaft, the hollow fiber membrane loops are nonporous with solid walls; a pneumatic source in pneumatic communication with the hollow fiber membrane loops. The pneumatic source provides a gas containing oxygen at a pressure sufficient to cause a diffusive flux of the gas containing oxygen from an interior of the hollow fiber membrane loops to a fluid exterior to the hollow fiber membrane loops in a region of interest of a subject.

Claim (Index 17):
The catheter system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of hollow fiber membrane loops are configured to be subjected to vibration induced from external energies to reduce the accumulation and adherence of bubbles to the plurality of hollow fiber membrane loops allowing more oxygen to be dissolved.
