TMPm for the T-PLS pulsatile pump and the AK 95 standard roller pump as a function of flow rate (a) for distilled water (p < 0.001 for differences between tests at a given flow rate), and (b) for bovine whole blood (p < 0.02 for differ- ences between tests at a given flow rate). UF rates for the T-PLS pulsatile pump and the AK 95 standard roller pump as a func- tion of flow rate (c) for distilled water (p < 0.001 for differences between tests at a given flow rate), and (d) for bovine whole blood (p < 0.02 for differences between tests at a given flow rate). UF rate as a function of a TMPm for the T-PLS pulsatile pump and the AK 95 standard roller pump (e) for distilled water (no differences were observed between different tests), and (f) for bovine whole blood (p < 0.05 for differ- ences between tests at a given flow rate)
