ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus for heating, filtering and eliminating gas from biological fluids. The apparatus includes a heat exchanger for heating biological fluids coaxially positioned within a filter unit. The filter unit receives heated fluid from the heat exchanger within an inner chamber and vents gas to the atmosphere contained within the heated fluid through a vent on the inner chamber. The fluid is radially filtered between the inner chamber and an outer chamber by a filter element coaxially separating the inner and outer chambers.
