Patent No. 5,188,738 - Feb 2 1993
Inventors: Steven Kaali and Peter Schwolsky
Abstract:
A new alternating current process and system for treatment of
blood and/or other body fluids and/or synthetic fluids from
a donor to a recipient or storage receptacle or in a recycling
system using novel electrically conductive treatment vessels for
treating blood and/or other body fluids and/or synthetic fluids
with electric field forces of appropriate electric field strength
to provide electric current flow through the blood or other
body fluids at a magnitude that is biologically compatible but
is sufficient to render the bacteria, virus, parasites and/or
fungus ineffective to infect or affect normally healthy cells
while maintaining the biological usefulness of the blood or other
fluids. For this purpose low voltage alternating current electric
potentials are applied to the treatment vessel which are of the
order of from about 0.2 to 12 volts and produce current flow densities
in the blood or other fluids of from one microampere per square
millimeter of electrode area exposed to the fluid being treated
to about two milliamperes per square millimeter.
