Clinical Usage Specifications and Functional Analysis of Disposable EBOO Therapy Consumables

EBOO Consumables: Definition, Types, Functions & Guide to their Usage
EBOO Consumables stands for one-time-use medical equipment. This disposable equipment is conceived for the use in the advanced EBOO therapy (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) system. EBOO Consumables are important medical components for the entire purification of blood and ozone therapy process. EBOO Consumables differ from the usual medical equipment used in the hospitals as they are specifically created for the closed-loop blood circulation in EBOO systems, e.g. biocompatible, hermetic and only for one time use.
EBOO therapy is a complicated modern technology that belongs to the category of blood treatment techniques. It is also called ozone dialysis and is based on making blood leave the body, passing through oxygenation and ozone infusion steps and coming back purified. The technology allows the blood to improve circulation, restore immunity and overcome chronic inflammation. The blood purification and ozone treatment would be impossible without the use of EBOO Consumables.
Main Types of EBOO Consumables and their Functions
There are a number of consumables used in EBOO technology covering all stages of the process: blood extraction, circulation, filtering, and gas delivery. All consumables can be split into several types according to their use.Disposable Tubing Kit for EBOO
The tubing kit represents most of the important disposable consumables of the EBOO therapy. Hence, it is utilized as a closed-circuit pathway for the process of the human blood coming in and out of the body. The complete kit consists of all those items that are needed for EBOO treatment, while all items of the kit are assembled in advance and have been incorporated in one ready-to-use unit. The materials used for tubing manufacture are made from medical-grade and high-purity polymers making them very compatible with blood and enabling them not to cause its hemolysis, coagulation, or allergic reactions.
This consumable is designed for one use only; thus, it is disposed of after the treatment of the first patient to prevent any possible infection. Integrated manufacture of the kit makes the preparatory stage simpler, ensures uniform assembly quality, and enhances clinical performance.
2. Hollow Fiber Membrane Filter
The hollow fiber membrane filter is used as main filtration consumable in the EBOO procedure, which works to purify blood and provide gas exchange. EBOO filters process differs from the traditional dialysis filters in that the system is meant to perform penetration of the medical oxygen-ozone mixed gas. The blood flows on one side of the hollow fiber membrane and the oxygen-ozone gas flows in the other side.The sterile consumables are one-time only items, and with this the filtration effectiveness and condition of the membrane will wholly influence the sterilizing process in EBOO.
3. Sterile Dry Filter and Air
This small part is adapted for use in the gas supply system owned by the EBOO device as it disinfects the oxygen-ozone mixture before the gas gets into the circulatory system. The filter prevents the passage of small dust particles, moisture, bacteria and other pollutants in the gas.
This small part is extremely important during EBOO procedure, as it preserves the sterile condition of the gas circulation system, assures stable components of blood and prevents such negative effects as milkiness of the blood.
4. Auxiliary Sterile Consumables
They consist of sterile needles, infusion pipes, sealing covers, sterile medicines and pipeline fixing materials, thus making their use possible for getting venous punctures, sealing the tubes and managing postoperative wound healing procedure.
Classification of the Medical-Quality EBOO Consumables
The consumables meant for medical purposes must comply with certain strict regulations and have four primary characteristics, making them different from other consumables.
Firstly, it must be highly bio-safeAll materials that come into contact with blood should be non-toxic, non-irritating and free of pyrogens, which means that they will certainly not cause any hemolysis, immune rejection or irritation of tissues in organism and should conform to the standards of medical materials which come into contact with blood of specified authority.
Secondly, good stability. Integrated pipeline and fixing parts ensure prevention of gasses and blood leakage due to high pressure resistance and tightness.
Thirdly, standardized compatibility. Modern EBOO consumables use standardized interface specifications and can be utilized with the majority of existing EBOO devices and therefore avoid any mismatch of the devices.
Fourthly, fully sterile and meant for one time use only. All consumables are firstly sterilized in sealed packages using ethylene oxide and then packaged in separate sealed packages which cannot be reused due to the prevention of any cross-infection.
Standard Usage and Replacement Standards
In order to achieve the safety of the procedure all EBOO consumables are supposed to be used according to strict norms in clinical settings of all kinds. All essential ЕBOO consumables such as tubing kits and filters have the principle of one single treatment/one single usage meaning that reuse and sterilization are not allowed.
Before each procedure operator is obliged to check packaging integrity, validity of sterilization and availability of the product. After the procedure, all used consumables are classified as medical waste and should be disposed properly.
As opposed to equipment parts, ЕBOO consumables are consumable materials which have strict replacement schedule. Due to standard replacement, the efficiency of blood purification will increase.
Value of Standard ЕBOO consumables
High-quality EBOO equipment forms the basis of EBOO process. This means that high quality ЕBOO consumables will make the process of blood purification work properly.
