DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0036] The present application discloses a temperature-adjustable blood storage bag. Figure 1 The blood storage bag mainly includes a blood storage device 1 and a temperature control device 2. The blood storage device 1 is used to store the recovered filtered blood. The temperature control device 2 is used to control the temperature of the blood stored in the blood storage device 1 so that it always maintains a suitable temperature to prevent the blood from deteriorating due to excessively high or low temperature.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the blood storage device 1 includes a blood storage bag 11, an inlet blood vessel 12, and a blood transfusion tube 13. The blood storage bag 11 is preferably formed from two sheets of film material by ultrasonic heat fusion into a rectangular bag body, which is sealed on all sides and used to hold blood. The lower end is heat-sealed to the inlet blood vessel 12 and the blood transfusion tube 13 to facilitate blood transport. Furthermore, the orifices of the inlet blood vessel 12 and the blood transfusion tube 13 are provided with male Luer connectors 14, also known as internal swivel connectors, which are standardized, micro-viscosity-free connectors. The orifice of the inlet blood vessel 12 is connected to the blood processing equipment via the male Luer connector 14, allowing the recovered, filtered blood to be injected into the blood storage bag 11 for storage. The blood transfusion tube 13 is connected to the infusion and blood transfusion device via the male Luer structure to transport the blood back to the human body.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the water storage device includes a water storage bag 21, a water inlet pipe 22 and a water outlet pipe 23; wherein, the water storage bag 21 can also be made of two sheet-shaped membrane materials, which are ultrasonically hot-melted to form a rectangular bag body for containing water; the water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23 are both fixed to the lower end of the water storage bag 21, and a female Luer connector 24 is provided at the pipe opening of the water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23. The female Luer connector 24 is also a standardized micro-viscosity joint that can be connected to the male Luer connector 14 on other equipment; in this embodiment, the blood storage bag 11 is used in conjunction with a water temperature control device. When in use, water flows from the water temperature control device through the water inlet pipe 22 into the water storage bag 21, and then flows back to the water temperature control device from the water outlet pipe 23, so that the water in the water storage bag 21 maintains the required temperature.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A heat exchange interface is provided between the blood bag 11 and the water bag 21, thereby allowing temperature to be transferred between the two. By changing the temperature of the water flow in the water bag 21, the temperature of the blood in the blood bag 11 can be changed and maintained through heat exchange. There are various ways to dispose the blood bag 11 and the water bag 21 relative to each other. The blood bag 11 and the water bag 21 can be placed close together, the water bag 21 can be placed inside the blood bag 11, or the blood bag 11 can be placed inside the water bag 21. In this embodiment, preferably, the water bag 21 is placed inside the blood bag 11, and a cavity for accommodating blood is formed between the outer wall of the water bag 21 and the inner wall of the blood bag 11.

[0040] Specifically, ultrasonic heat fusion is used to form a shaped channel 3 on the sidewall of the water bag 21, through which the water flows back and forth. This shaped channel 3 forms a winding S-shape, connected at one end to the water inlet pipe 22 and at the other end to the water outlet pipe 23. This shaped channel 3 increases the time it takes for water to flow through the water bag 21, increasing the area of the heat exchange interface between the water bag 21 and the blood bag 11, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect. Simultaneously, the side of the water bag 21 closest to the water inlet pipe 22 is heat-fused to the side of the blood bag 11, securing the water bag 21 within the blood bag 11.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5To facilitate the use of the blood storage bag, in an optional embodiment, a stop clamp 4 is provided on both the inlet blood vessel 12 and the blood transfusion tube 13 to facilitate timely restriction of blood flow through the inlet blood vessel 12 or the blood transfusion tube 13. Specifically, the stop clamp 4 includes a clamp body 41, a clamping joint 42, a spigot 43, and a first protrusion 44 or a second protrusion 45. The clamp body 41 is made of an elastic plastic material and has an elliptical overall structure with an opening at one end. Clearance holes for the inlet blood vessel 12 or the blood transfusion tube 13 are provided on the upper and lower sidewalls of the clamp body 41. The first protrusion 44 and the second protrusion 45 are integrally formed on two corresponding sidewalls on the inner side of the clamp body 41. The inlet blood vessel 12 or the blood transfusion tube 13 can pass between the first protrusion 44 and the second protrusion 45.

[0042] The clamping joint 42 is integrally formed on one side of the opening of the clamp body 41, and is preferably a pointed structure. The socket tooth 43 is fixed to the inner wall on the other side of the opening of the clamp body 41, and has a row of teeth along the extension direction of the clamp body 41. When the clamping joint 42 is bent toward the socket tooth 43, the clamping joint 42 can be clamped between different teeth of the socket tooth 43, thereby fixing the clamping joint 42 on the socket tooth 43, and can adjust the distance between the first protrusion 44 and the second protrusion 45, thereby limiting the blood from passing through the blood inlet 12 or the blood transfusion tube 13, and can also change the blood circulation rate by changing the blood circulation area.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, in order to facilitate blood transfusion, the blood bag 11 is provided with hanging holes 15 for conveniently fixing the blood bag 11 . The hanging holes 15 are preferably respectively opened on the four corners of the blood bag 11 .

[0044] The implementation principle of a temperature-adjustable blood storage bag in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0045] During use, when the outdoor temperature is above 40°C, the cooling switch and water circulation switch of the water temperature control device are activated, and water set at 10°C enters the water storage bag 21 of the temperature-adjustable blood storage bag through the water inlet pipe 22. The water flows along the designed special-shaped channel 3 and returns to the water temperature control device through the water outlet pipe 23. During this process, the water circulates along the specific path, removing the heat from the blood in the blood storage bag 11, achieving a heat exchange and cooling effect, effectively preventing the occurrence of blood deterioration due to high temperature and being unable to be re-transfused to the patient.

[0046] When the outdoor temperature is below 0°C, the heating switch and water circulation switch of the water temperature control device are activated, and water set at 35°C is introduced into the water storage bag 21 of the temperature-adjustable blood storage bag through the water inlet pipe 22. The water flows along the designed special-shaped channel 3 and returns to the water temperature control device through the water outlet pipe 23. The water circulates along the specific path, transferring heat to the blood in the blood storage bag 11, achieving the effect of heat exchange and temperature increase, effectively preventing the occurrence of blood freezing and precipitation of undesirable substances due to low temperature, which makes it impossible to re-transfuse the patient.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
