If ∆P data was not available at rated flow, the flow rate for the ∆P in the table is specified;
Rated flow is flow of standardized venous blood at which outlet blood oxygen saturation is 95%;
O2 transfer efficiency = O2 transfer at rated flow (mLO2 min−1) per fiber surface area (m2). Data for commercial devices were obtained from manufacturer manuals for each device. Data for the pedipump lung is taken or calculated from reference 19.
