We use two intertwining technologies to remove the pathogens themselves:
The MBLs are coated with magnetic nanoparticles and are then released into the bloodstream
(externally) and bind to pathogens in the bloodstream. The magnetic
nanoparticles are then attracted by a large magnet and pulled out of the bloodstream
along with the harmful pathogens and toxins, effectively cleansing the blood.
The filtration system utilizes two microfluidic channels:
These channels are vertically stacked
and connected by a series of rectangular slits. A magnet tops both channels and pulls the pathogens out of the blood stream.
The ejected pathogens can then be studied for identification so more
comprehensive treatments can be carried out in the future.
To help the patient after removing the pathogens, the EMCD will release:
Vitamin D is necessary for an optimal immune system, and can strengthen the immune system 3-fold.
The nanorobot will circulate throughout the
body so that it may
determine whether or not there is another influx of pathogens
in the blood stream and
alert a doctor.
