摘要:
A vent assembly (150, 270) is described for use in an extracorporeal fluid unit(100). A vent structure (146, 264) adjacent to a micro-porous membrane (144,260) forms the assembly. The vent structure is porous, but expands when the ventstructure becomes wet, thereby closing off the pores and inhibiting (e.g., preventing)fluid from flowing through the vent structure. The vent structure also protectsthe membrane from becoming wet, such as from condensation.
