1. A device for extracorporeal conditioning of blood, the device comprising:
a housing comprising a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the housing defining an internal chamber and a window that enables visual observation of fluid within the housing;
a fiber assembly disposed within the internal chamber, the fiber assembly having a peripheral edge;
potting material disposed throughout the peripheral edge to create at least a portion of a circumferential seal that defines a flow path through the fiber assembly that has a substantially circular cross-sectional shape, wherein:
the fluid inlet defines an inlet lumen in fluid communication with the flow path;
the fluid inlet is formed into the window and is configured to provide fluid access to the flow path; and
the fluid outlet defines an outlet lumen in fluid communication with the flow path.
