In 1924, Louis JUBÉ (born August 14, 1899 in Saint Pol de Léon in Brittany) published his pump for non-citrated blood (US Patent 1,499,662 of July 1, 1924) - in principle, it was from the beginning to unfashionable since she took no notice of the sodium citrate admixture invented in 1914 by Albert Hustin. Thus, it was replaced in the 1930s by the 3-way citrated blood pumps.

 


The pump was manufactured by Duffaud & Cie from Paris, 11 rue Dupuytren, founded in 1889. Note that the Duffaud needles (IS 15/10 and IS 17/10) are different! The rubber hoses are hard and brittle due to age. Despite the lack of citrate admixture, it was the most commonly used transfusion system in Europe in the 1920s; through the tubes wetted with paraffin oil 5 ml of blood could be transferred every 3-4 seconds. 500 ml were so easily transferred, then the blood coagulated mostly, and the procedure had to start again.

 


In 1938, Jubé pumped with all his might to save the life of the German diplomat Baron Ernst vom Rath, who had been shot in Paris by the Jew Herschel Feivel Grynszpan. At the operating table stood the notorious surgeon Karl BRANDT, who had come from Berlin.
