摘要:
The present invention provides devices and methods for stabilizing bicarbonate-based solutions for peritoneal dialysis or hemofiltration. The bicarbonate-based solutions of the present invention are formulated and stored in at least two parts—an alkaline bicarbonate concentrate and an acidic concentrate. The alkaline bicarbonate concentrate is adjusted to have a pH of about 8.6 to 10.0. The acidic concentrate is adjusted to have a stable, acidic pH ranging from about 1.0 to 3.0. Upon mixing, although some variation in the pH of the mixed bicarbonate solution exists, the inventors have discovered that with the appropriate selection of the parameters of the concentrates, the pH of the mixed solution is always within an acceptable physiological range.

摘要:
A method and device for stabilizing and storing bicarbonate solutions is provided. In an embodiment, a device is provided having a container and carbon-dioxide generating substances that include a solid material which upon contact with water generates carbon-dioxide gas. The device may be packaged together with the bicarbonate or in a separate overpouch. The present invention also provides a method for the stabilization of bicarbonate solutions utilizing a means that generates high pressure carbon dioxide.
摘要:
Stable single bicarbonate-based solutions are provided. The bicarbonate-based single solution of the present invention includes at least calcium and bicarbonate and is stored or packaged in a sterile manner within a container with a gas barrier. The single solutions of the present invention can remain stable for three months or more. In this regard, the stable and single bicarbonate-based solutions of the present invention can be readily and effectively used during medical therapy, such as dialysis therapy.
摘要:
A container system for containing and preserving gas generating solutions such as bicarbonate-containing solutions is provided. The system includes an outer container or barrier that is gas impermeable. The system also includes an indicator for visually indicating when gas has been permitted to leak or escape from the outer container thereby changing the physical characteristics of the gas generating solution.
摘要:
Dialysis solutions and methods of manufacturing and using same are provided. The dialysis solution at least includes three solution parts that are separately stored and sterilized at an effective pH to promote the stabilization of the solution parts including a pH-sensitive solution part that has, for example, a pH-sensitive osmotic agent, such as a glucose polymer. The solution parts are admixed to form a ready-to-use solution with a physiologically acceptable pH.
