According to Kyodo News, the team at Yamanashi University and Kobe University in Japan has recently developed a portable new blood purification device for kidney patients. The device is smaller than the briefcase and has a built-in battery. It is expected to be used for emergency medical treatment in disaster areas such as large earthquakes.
According to the report, the team hopes to release the device to medical institutions by 2023 after clinical trials. Team member and professor at Yamanashi University, Matsuda, said, "In an emergency, you can bring the device to where it is needed."
Blood purification is divided into dialysis and filtration. The device is a filtered blood type, and the main users are: patients with acute renal failure who have a declining renal function due to dehydration or hemorrhage, patients who need dialysis due to chronic renal failure, but are unable to use the device due to disasters and the like.
According to reports, the new device filters about half of the blood, and the pump that sucks blood is only 500 yen. Plus the battery weighs 3 to 4 kg and has a higher flexibility.
The team confirmed the performance of the new device in a larger, more bloody goat that continued to filter blood for up to 2 weeks. There is no need to change the pump during this time, and no stop occurs.
According to the report, large-scale dialysis instruments that require a large amount of water and electricity have a weak ability to stop water and power after a large-scale disaster. If a new device is used, in the event of an emergency, the water and metabolic waste accumulated in the patient's body can be removed first, in order to obtain time for manual dialysis in the hospital.
The research team hopes that dialysis patients will be able to use the device at home in the future. It is reported that there are more than 300,000 dialysis patients in Japan.

Household Oxygen Generator is a type of machine for producing oxygen, its principle is to use air separation technology. First, the air is compressed at a high density and then the different condensation points of each component in the air are used to separate the gas and liquid at a certain temperature, and then rectify it to separate it into oxygen and nitrogen. In general, people are used to calling it an oxygen generator because it is mostly used to produce oxygen. Because oxygen and nitrogen are widely used, oxygen generators are also widely used in the national economy. Especially Homecare Oxygen Concentrator and Household Medical Devices for hospital and household.
The first countries in the world to produce oxygen generators were Germany and France. The German Linde Company made the world's 10th m3/s oxygen generator in 1903. Following Germany, the French Air Liquide Company also began to produce oxygen generators in 1910. Since 1903, the oxygen generator has a history of 100 years.
