The patent application (Publication Number: US20240033412A1) describes a shunt for blood transfer in a mammalian patient. The shunt comprises a first housing for receiving a first conduit for blood ingress, a regulator to control blood flow rate, and a second housing with a cavity for holding blood and a second conduit for blood egress. The shunt also includes a blood filter and a connector for removably attaching the first and second housings. The regulator is adjustable to control the rate of blood flow through the first conduit, with a trigger lever for adjustment.

Additionally, the patent application outlines a method for assembling the medical device and transferring blood in a mammalian patient using the described shunt. The method involves attaching the first and second conduits to the shunt, establishing a blood flow pathway between the conduits via the shunt, and regulating the blood flow by adjusting the regulator. The first conduit is placed in an arterial portion of the patient's circulatory system, while the second conduit is placed in a venous portion, allowing for efficient blood transfer. The method also includes steps for decreasing or increasing the size of the first conduit to regulate blood flow along the pathway. Overall, the patent application presents a detailed shunt design and method for blood transfer in medical settings, emphasizing control and efficiency in the process.
