Model of Magnetic Particle Capture Under Physiological Flow Rates for Cytokine Removal During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Objective: The objective of this study is to design a physical model of a magnetic filtration system which can separate magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-tagged cytokines from fluid at physiologically relevant flow rates employed during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures. Methods: The Navier-Stokes equations for the pressure driven flow in the chamber and the quasistatic stray magnetic field produced by an array of permanent magnets were solved using finite element analysis in COMSOL Multiphysics for 2D and 3D representations of the flow chamber. Parameters affecting the drag and magnetic forces including flow chamber dimensions, high gradient magnet array configurations, and particle properties, were changed and evaluated for their effect on MNP capture. Results: Flow chamber dimensions which achieve appropriate flow conditions for CPB were identified, and magnetic force within the chamber decreased with increased chamber height. A magnetic “block” array produced the highest magnetic force within the chamber. Polymeric microparticles loaded with MNPs were shown to have increased particle capture with increased hydrodynamic diameter. Conclusion: The model achieved a predicted efficiency up to 100% capture in a single-pass of fluid flowing at 1.75 L/min. Significance: This work is an important step in designing a magnetic flow chamber that can remove the magnetically tagged cytokines under high flow employed during CPB. Cytokines have been shown to stimulate the systemic inflammatory response (SIR) associated with CPB and are an established therapeutic target to mitigate the SIR. In the long term, this work aims to guide researchers in the more accurate design of magnetic separation systems.
