The present application relates to implantable encapsulated devices for containing biological moieties or therapeutic devices containing biological moieties. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure relate to an implantable device that includes a distal end, a proximal end, a manifold including at least one access port at the distal end or the proximal end, and an implantable device affixed to the manifold and connected to at least one An inlet port is in fluid communication with a plurality of containment tubes. Additionally, the encapsulation device may contain tubing and flush ports fluidly connected to the manifold. The containment tube may contain a biological moiety (eg, a cell) or a therapeutic device (eg, a cell encapsulation member) therein. |
