摘要:
A vent assembly (150, 270) is described for use in an extracorporeal fluidunit (100). A vent structure (146, 264)adjacent to a micro-porous membrane (144, 260) forms the assembly. The ventstructure 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 protects the membrane from becoming wet, such as fromcondensation.
