Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate to an extracorporeal perfusion
apparatus comprising an extracorporeal blood circuit for conveying blood,
a filtrate circuit for conveying blood plasma, and a controller, wherein
the filtrate circuit is connected to the extracorporeal blood circuit by
means of a filter, wherein the filter has a sieving coefficient of 5% for
substances having a molar mass of 340,000 g/mol (relative molecular mass
of 340 kDa), and wherein a depletion agent comprising a first carrier
having a neutral, hydrophobic surface is arranged in the filtrate
circuit, wherein the perfusion apparatus comprises a dispensing means for
feeding an endotoxin-binding lipopeptide into the extracorporeal blood
circuit, wherein the endotoxin-binding lipopeptide is selected from the
group consisting of polymyxins, polymyxin derivatives, prodrugs thereof,
and a combination thereof.Claims:
