APPARATUS FOR ULTRAVIOLET IRRADIATION OF BLOOD AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: medical equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes vessel 1 with side walls 2 transparent for ultraviolet rays which have local recessions 3 in inner surface arranged in the form of periodic structure, drive rotating vessel 1 about longitudinal axis oriented horizontally and sources 6 of ultraviolet irradiation positioned close to inner surface of side walls of vessel 1. Local recessions 3 in inner surface of vessel 1 are placed along helical line which longitudinal axis matches longitudinal axis of vessel. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of irradiation of biological fluids due to increased intensity of their mixing in process of irradiation. 5 cl, 2 dwg
