A Simplified Circuit of Modified Ultrafiltration

      A simplified circuit of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) is described. The technique described is simple, inexpensive, allows both conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) and modified ultrafiltration with minimum manipulation of the circuit, allows re-institution of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in an emergency, reduces the risk of air embolism and air cavitation and can be used in adults as well as children.
