[0011] Embodiments of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings referred to below, the same or equivalent components are given the same numbers.

[0012] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a body fluid treatment module model assembly kit according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the body fluid treatment module model. Figure 3 is a front view of the body fluid treatment module model. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV shown in Figure 3.

[0013] As shown in Figure 1, the bodily fluid treatment module model assembly kit 1 of this embodiment includes a tray 10, a bodily fluid treatment module model 100 (see Figure 2), an outer cylinder member 21, an inner cylinder member 22, a syringe 30, a strap 40, an identification seal 50, a brush 60, and a wiping member 70.

[0014] The bodily fluid treatment module model 100 is a miniature model of a bodily fluid treatment module (dialyzer, etc.). As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the bodily fluid treatment module model 100 comprises a housing 110, a module model 120, a cap 130, and an adhesive member 140.

[0015] The housing 110 has a body portion 112, an inlet port 114, an outlet port 116, and a strap attachment portion 118. The housing 110 is made of, for example, synthetic resin.

[0016] The body portion 112 is formed in a cylindrical shape. In the present embodiment, the body portion 112 is formed in a circular cylindrical shape. As shown in FIG. 2, a through-hole h is formed in the body portion 112. The identification seal 50 is attached to the body portion 112.

[0017] The inflow port 114 is connected to the body portion 112. The inflow port 114 has a shape that protrudes outward in the radial direction of the body portion 112 from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 112. As shown in FIG. 4, the inflow port 114 is closed.

[0018] The outflow port 116 is connected to the body portion 112. The outflow port 116 has a shape that protrudes outward in the radial direction of the body portion 112 from a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 112 that is separated from the inflow port 114. As shown in FIG. 4, the outflow port 116 is closed.

[0019] The strap attachment portion 118 is a portion for attaching the strap 40. The strap attachment portion 118 is connected to the body portion 112.

[0020] The module model 120 is a body fluid treatment module or something similar thereto. The module model 120 preferably has a shape similar to that of hollow fibers, flat membranes, activated carbon, porous beads, as well as solid fibers, fibers such as cotton, sponges, and granular bodies made of activated carbon or porous beads. In the present embodiment, a hollow fiber bundle composed of a plurality of hollow fibers is used as the module model 120. Body fluid refers to the liquid components possessed by humans and animals such as blood, lymph, tissue fluid, ascites, pleural effusion, and intracellular fluid. Body fluid treatment refers to removing impurities from body fluid or extracting a predetermined substance. For example, in the case of blood, blood purification such as blood filtration, hemodialysis, hemofiltration dialysis, continuous slow blood filtration, leukapheresis, plasma exchange, and plasma adsorption can be mentioned. In addition, in the case of ascites and pleural effusion, it refers to collecting, filtering, concentrating ascites and injecting the same intravenously.

[0021] The module model 120 can be placed inside the body 112. In its pre-assembly state, the length of the module model 120 is greater than the length of the body 112. In this embodiment, the tray 10 does not have a compartment for housing the module model 120. The tray 10 may also be provided with a string member (not shown) for tying the module model 120.

[0022] The cap 130 is detachably connectable to at least one end of the body portion 112. In this embodiment, the cap 130 can be connected to both ends of the body portion 112. The cap 130 is formed to be externally fitted onto the ends of the body portion 112. As shown in Figure 4, the connection of the cap 130 to both ends of the body portion 112 defines an internal space S by the housing 110 and the cap 130. The internal space S communicates with the outside through through holes h formed in the body portion 112.

[0023] The adhesive member 140 is a member for fixing the module model 120. The adhesive member 140 fixes the ends of the module model 120. In this embodiment, the adhesive member 140 fixes the module model 120 in a bundled state. As shown in Figure 1, the adhesive member 140 is housed in a container. In this embodiment, the tray 10 does not have a housing for the adhesive member 140.

[0024] Next, the assembly method of the bodily fluid processing module model 100 will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. This assembly method uses an outer cylinder member 21, an inner cylinder member 22, and a syringe 30. The outer cylinder member 21 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The outer cylinder member 21 can be connected to the end of the body portion 112. The inner cylinder member 22 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The inner cylinder member 22 can be inserted into the outer cylinder member 21. The outer diameter of the inner cylinder member 22 is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the outer cylinder member 21. The inner cylinder member 22 is shorter than the outer cylinder member 21. The syringe 30 can extrude the adhesive member 140. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the syringe 30 has a tip portion 32 that can be inserted into the outer cylinder member 21.

[0025] The assembly method for the bodily fluid processing module model 100 comprises a preparation step, a placement step, a supply step, and a connection step.

[0026] In the preparation step, the components that make up the bodily fluid processing module model 100, namely the housing 110, module model 120, cap 130, and adhesive member 140, are prepared.

[0027] In the placement process, the module model 120 is placed inside the body portion 112 of the housing 110. The ends of this module model 120 are tied together with string members.

[0028] Before the supply process, the adhesive member 140 is poured from the container into the recess 12 of the tray 10, and the adhesive member 140 is mixed with the brush 60 as needed. Then, the adhesive member 140 is filled into the syringe 30. If any adhesive member 140 spills out of the syringe 30 at this time, it may be wiped off with the wiping member 70.

[0029] The supply process includes a first step and a second step. In the first step, as shown in Figure 5, the outer cylinder member 21 is first connected to one end 112a of the body 112, and the inner cylinder member 22 is inserted into the outer cylinder member 21, and the tip 32 of the syringe 30 is inserted into the outer cylinder member 21. In this state, one end 120a of the module model 120 is located inside the inner cylinder member 22.

[0030] Then, as shown in Figure 6, the adhesive member 140 is supplied by the syringe 30 to one end 120a of the module model 120 or one end 112a of the body 112 so that the adhesive member 140 is supplied to one end 120a of the module model 120. As a result, one end 120a of the module model 120 is fixed and one end 112a of the body 112 is closed by the adhesive member 140. After the outer cylinder member 21 and inner cylinder member 22 are removed from the body 112 and the adhesive member 140 has hardened, the portion of the module model 120 that protrudes outward from one end 112a of the body 112 is cut off.

[0031] In the subsequent second step, similar to the first step, the adhesive member 140 is supplied to the other end 120b of the module model 120 or the other end 112b of the body portion 112 by the syringe 30, as shown in Figure 7.

[0032] Here, the inlet port 114 and outlet port 116 are closed, and one end 112a of the body portion 112 is closed by the adhesive member 140. However, since a through hole h is formed in the body portion 112, when the adhesive member 140 is supplied to the other end 120b of the module model 120, the gas in the internal space S escapes to the outside through the through hole h. Therefore, the supply of the adhesive member 140 to the other end 120b of the module model 120 is carried out smoothly.

[0033] In the connection process, the caps 130 are connected to each end 112a, 112b of the body 112. Note that the connection of the cap 130 to one end 112a of the body 112 may be performed before the second step of the supply process.

[0034] As described above, in the bodily fluid treatment module model 100 of this embodiment, the module model 120 is placed inside the body portion 112 of the housing 110, the end of the module model 120 is fixed with adhesive member 140, and then the cap 130 is connected to the end of the body portion 112, thereby enabling a simulated experience of handling and assembling the bodily fluid treatment module. Furthermore, when the end of the module model 120 placed inside the body portion 112 is fixed with adhesive member 140, the gas in the internal space S escapes to the outside through the through hole h, thus ensuring a smooth supply of adhesive member 140 to the end of the module model 120.

[0035] In the above embodiment, for example, the through hole h may not be formed in the body portion 112, but may be configured as either the inlet port 114 or the outlet port 116, or it may be provided in the cap 130.

[0036] Furthermore, the housing 110 may have a shape that closes the opening on one side of the body portion 112 and may have a bottom portion (not shown) integrally formed with the body portion 112. The bottom portion may be formed in a shape that resembles a cap. In this embodiment, only one cap 130 is needed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the through hole h may be formed in the bottom portion instead of the body portion 112. In this case, the through hole h can also be used as an injection hole for the adhesive member 140. Also, the bodily fluid treatment module model 100 may be constructed by integrally molding the housing 110 and the cap 130, or the housing 110, module model 120 and cap 130 may be constructed by integrally molding them. Known methods such as extrusion molding, injection molding, and blow molding can be used for integral molding.
