Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to a blood perfusion reservoir device including a housing forming proximal and distal chambers, the housing having proximal and distal openings, a valve having a proximal end, a distal end and a length forming a lumen therebetween, the valve being positioned within the housing such that the proximal end passes through the proximal opening of the housing, the distal end passes through the distal opening of the housing, and the length passes through the proximal and distal chambers of the housing, wherein the valve is configurable between a first and second position, the first position forming a first flow path and the second position forming a second flow path, a filter reservoir having a frame with a filter media forming proximal and distal filter regions with a proximal opening, and positioned within the housing fixedly attached to the valve and surrounding a length of the valve, wherein the first flow path fluidly connects the proximal and distal openings, and the flow bypasses the proximal and distal chambers, the proximal and distal filter regions, and the second flow path fluidly connects the proximal and distal openings, and the flow passes through proximal and distal chambers and the proximal and distal filter regions.
