A device for removing gases from fluids, in particular from a dialyzing fluid, includes a container, which in the position of normal use is provided with a bottom first orifice and a bottom second orifice. Disposed inside the container is a partition wall which divides the container into a first chamber having the first orifice and a second chamber having the second orifice. The partition wall extends from the container bottom up to near the container cover, forming a gap-shaped interstitial space between the first and second chamber, and the container cover. Provision is made in the container cover for a venting orifice that is sealed by a hydrophobic filter. In one preferred embodiment, the first and second chamber form a tube-in-tube arrangement. The device according to the invention allows for a high separation rate to be achieved with a compact and simple design.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A device for removing gases from fluids comprising:a substantially cylindrical container having a side surface, a top end and a bottom end;a substantially cylindrical partition wall positioned in the container to divide the container into a first chamber, a second chamber, and an interstitial space substantially above the first and second chambers, wherein the first chamber is in fluid communication with the second chamber via the interstitial space;a cover positioned substantially at the top end of the container and including a hydrophobic membrane which permits passage of gas from the container while the container is completely filled with fluid such that the fluid is pressed against the hydrophobic membrane;a first orifice formed on the partition wall adjacent to a bottom of the first chamber; anda second orifice formed on the side surface adjacent a bottom of the second chamber.
