ABSTRACT:
A blood reservoir adapted for use in an extracorporeal circulatory support circuit. The blood reservoir comprises a housing having a chamber for holding blood, an outlet in the housing for draining blood from the chamber, and an inlet for supplying venous blood to the chamber. The inlet includes an inlet tube positioned at a greater elevation in use of the reservoir than the minimum specified level of fluid in the reservoir. A cup-shaped fluid trap is mounted on the inlet tube to trap fluid at the downstream end of the inlet tube. A novel deflector disk is also provided to deflect other fluid from the fluid trap and to mount the fluid trap on the inlet tube.
