20160101229 | BLOOD FILTRATION SYSTEM CONTAINING MANNOSE COATED SUBSTRATE - A blood filtration method, system, device and media for removing gram negative bacteria from the blood wherein the media includes a substrate coated with mannose optionally in constitution with substrate coated with heparin. | 04-14-2016 |
20160084835 | METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING INFECTIOUS DISEASES USING ADSORPTION MEDIA - The present invention provides an in vitro method for concentrating infectious pathogens found in a biological sample obtained from an individual who is suspected of being infected with the pathogens. Provided herein is also an in vitro method for reducing or eliminating blood cells from a sample obtained from an individual suspected to being infected with an infectious pathogen. The present invention also provides a method for diagnosing malaria and a method for determining if an individual is infected with a pathogen. Provided herein is also a concentrator and a kit for use with the methods. | 03-24-2016 |
20160082177 | WEARABLE HEMOPERFUSION DEVICE - The present technology relates to methods and devices for the removal of toxins and pathogens from infected blood of patients. In particular, devices are designed to be portable, wearable, disposable and self-contained extracorporeal devices that can be easily assembled from a kit. | 03-24-2016 |
20160022898 | METHOD FOR EXTRACORPOREAL REMOVAL OF PATHOGENIC MICROBE, AN INFLAMMATORY CELL OR AN INFLAMMATORY PROTEIN FROM BLOOD - The present invention relates to a method for extracorporeal removal of a pathogenic microbe, an inflammatory cell or an inflammatory protein from mammalian blood/use of a device comprising a carbohydrate immobilized on a solid substrate, said carbohydrate having a binding affinity for a pathogenic microbe, an inflammatory cell or an inflammatory protein, for extracorporeal removal of said pathogenic microbe, inflammatory cell or inflammatory protein from mammalian blood/use of a carbohydrate having a binding affinity for a pathogenic microbe, an inflammatory cell or an inflammatory protein, wherein said carbohydrate is immobilized on a solid substrate, in the preparation of a device for treatment of a condition caused or aggravated by said pathogenic microbe, inflammatory cell or inflammatory protein and a method for treatment of a mammalian subject suffering from a condition caused or aggravated by a pathogenic microbe, an inflammatory cell or an inflammatory protein. | 01-28-2016 |
20140231357 | METHODS FOR REMOVING CYTOKINES FROM BLOOD WITH SURFACE IMMOBILIZED POLYSACCHARIDES - The present invention is directed to a method for removing cytokines and/or pathogens from blood or blood serum (blood) by contacting the blood with a solid, essentially non microporous substrate which has been surface treated with heparin, heparan sulfate and/or other molecules or chemical groups (the adsorbent media or media) having a binding affinity for the cytokine or pathogen(s) to be removed (the adsorbates), and wherein the size of the interstitial channels within said media is balanced with the amount of media surface area and the surface concentration of binding sites on the media in order to provide adequate adsorptive capacity while also allowing relatively high flow rates of blood through the adsorbent media. | 08-21-2014 |
