First Edition, Offprint Issue. Frey and Gruber developed the first heart-lung machine, described in the first part of their joint paper. The machine “consisted of a double-acting pump in the form on an injection syringe with a capacity of 10 ml, which imitated the heart action and two values. This pumping system produced a pulsatile flow . . . An important component of this artificial circulation was the addition of the facility ‘which was able to replace the lung.’ Von Frey . . .developed the first film oxygenator for this purpose. Blood in the form of a thin film was oxygenated inside a slowly rotating cylinder by an oxygen atmosphere. The temperature of the arterial blood was regulated by a ‘preheater.’ As with current heart-lung machines, the circulation incorporated several pressure and temperature measuring devices as well as sample ports” (W. Boettcher et al., “History of extracorporeal circulation: The conceptional and developmental period,” J. Amer. Soc. Extra-Corporeal Technology 35 (2003): 172-183, quoting from p. 175). See also H. G.
