Abstract
A whole blood treatment device includes a first conduit, a second conduit, and a rotating or reciprocating element having a channel. The first and second conduits are fluidly coupled to the rotating or reciprocating element such that the channel is fluidly continuous with the first conduit when the channel is fluidly discontinuous with the second conduit, and such that the channel is fluidly discontinuous with the first conduit when the channel is fluidly continuous with the second conduit. The first conduit is configured to receive whole blood, and the second conduit is configured to receive a regeneration fluid. The channel comprises a surface that is modified with an affinity agent at a concentration effective to allow removal of a target compound from whole blood.
