Apparatus for processing fluids, in particular blood, includes a housing having an fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port, with the housing being formed by an outer tube, an intermediate tube set within the outer tube for forming a first chamber therebetween, and an inner tube set within the intermediate for forming a second chamber therebetween. Disposed within the chambers are a plurality of hollow fiber membranes for suitably conducting heat exchange fluid and gas. The first and second chambers are so interconnected to one another and the inlet port and outlet ports are so disposed as to effect a fluid flow path through the chambers in longitudinal direction of the tubes.

[ What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:] [11.] A blood oxygenator and host exchanger unit, comprising:a housing having a blood inlet port and a blood outlet port, and a plurality of chambers formed by tubes nested within each other for providing a passageway for blood to flow from the blood inlet port to the blood outlet port, said tubes being formed by walls so configured that said chambers are fluidly interconnected as to provide a blood flow path through the chambers in longitudinal direction between said inlet and outlet ports of said housing; anda plurality of hollow fiber membranes provided in the chambers for conducting a heat-exchange fluid in one of the chambers and conducting a gas in another one of the chambers.
