    摘要: A method of monitoring the integrity of a fluid connection between first and second fluid containing systems based on at least one time-dependent measurement signal from a pressure sensor in the first fluid containing system. The pressure sensor detects first pulses originating from a first pulse generator in the first fluid containing system and second pulses originating from a second pulse generator in the second fluid containing system. A parameter value representing a distribution of signal values within a time window is calculated by analyzing the measurement signal in the time domain and/or by using information on the timing of the second pulses in the measurement signal. The parameter value may be calculated as a statistical dispersion measure of the signal values, or from matching the signal to a predicted temporal signal profile of the second pulse. The integrity of the fluid connection is determined from the parameter value.

    摘要: The invention provides a catheter for placement within a vessel of a patient. The catheter comprises an elongated catheter body, a septum extending longitudinally through the interior of the catheter body from the dividing the interior of the catheter body into a first lumen and a second lumen. Each lumen has curved or angled internal walls at the distal end of the catheter that terminate at ports located on opposing sides of the catheter body. The invention also provides a method for exchanging fluids in a patient comprising the step of positioning the catheter of the present invention in communication with a fluid-containing vessel of a patient. The method is particularly well-suited for hemodialysis, plasmapheresis, and other therapies which require removal and return of blood from a patient.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device and a method for monitoring a patient access, particularly for monitoring the venous vascular access in extracorporeal blood treatment where blood is withdrawn from the patient via a flexible arterial line which has an arterial needle or cannula, and provided to the patient via a flexible venous line which has a venous needle or cannula. The needle or cannula of the present invention is so designed that, due to the liquid flowing through the needle or cannula, air is drawn in if the needle or cannula is out of the vascular access, whereby sound is generated. A vascular access which is not in proper order is detected with great certainty and reliability by monitoring the surrounding environment for the occurrence of sound, particularly for the occurrence of the solid-borne sound which propagates along the flexible venous line of the extracorporeal blood circuit.

    摘要: A medical catheter assembly includes a catheter tip coupled to a distal end of an elongate catheter member and is symmetric about a plane defined by a septum of the elongate catheter member. The catheter tip defines first and second lumens, and the catheter tip defines first and second openings in the distal portion of the catheter tip. Each opening of the catheter tip is defined by a respective side surface of the catheter tip. Each opening is in fluid communication with a respective one of the first and second lumens of the catheter tip and with a respective one of a pair of lumens defined by the elongate catheter member. The distance between upper and lower surfaces of the catheter tip decreases from a distal end of the proximal portion toward a closed distal end of the catheter tip.

    摘要: A monitoring device (7) operates on a pressure signal from a blood processing apparatus, e.g. a dialysis machine, which has an extracorporeal blood circuit connected to a vascular system of a subject for pumping blood through a dialyzer, and a treatment fluid supply system for pumping a treatment fluid through the dialyzer. The monitoring device (7) has a first input block (50) for obtaining a first pressure signal (y) from a first pressure sensor (6a) in the extracorporeal blood circuit, and a second input block (51) for obtaining a second pressure signal (w) from a second pressure sensor (6b) in the treatment fluid supply system. An emulation block (56) generates, as a function of the second pressure signal (w), an emulated first pressure signal (y) which emulates a concurrent signal response of the first pressure sensor (6a), and a filtering block (53) generates a filtered signal (y) as a function of the first pressure signal (y) and the emulated first pressure signal (y), so as to suppress, in the filtered signal (}y) compared to the first pressure signal (y), signal interferences originating from the treatment fluid supply system (1b). A pulse detection block (54) processes the filtered signal (yf) for detection of subject pulses originating from the subject.
