摘要:
An apparatus is disclosed for detecting moisture, which is intended for the use in an apparatus for monitoring an access to a patient for a device by means of which a fluid is conducted to and/or removed from a patient via a hose line, in particular for monitoring the vascular access during an extracorporeal blood treatment, wherein blood of a patient is removed from the patient via an arterial hose line, which has an arterial puncture cannula, and is conducted back to the patient via a venous hose line, which has a venous puncture cannula. The apparatus for detecting moisture is designed as a pad which is made of a flexible material and is to be applied onto the patient's skin and which comprises an upper side facing away from the patient's skin and a lower side facing the patient's skin. The pad comprises an opening for the passage of fluid, in particular blood, and a moisture sensor having contact elements for the connection of the same. The moisture sensor is capable of detecting blood flowing through the opening to the surface of the pad. The apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that the lower side of the pad is impervious to fluid.

A terminal clamp for a moisture sensor to be placed on a patient's skin in order to monitor a vascular access to a patient includes first, lower and second, upper legs for clamped fixing of terminal tab of moisture sensor, rear end pieces of the legs being connected. The terminal clamp includes terminal contacts for contacting electrical contact points of terminal tab, and a guide piece having a slot-shaped cutout for receiving terminal tab. Slot-shaped cutout of guide piece is bounded laterally by two stop elements so that terminal tab is held in terminal clamp in a predetermined position, in which terminal contacts of terminal clamp contact the electrical contact points of terminal tab. Upper leg comprises a latching device, which is fixed in slot-shaped cutout in a snap-in manner when terminal clamp is closed to lock upper leg in position on lower leg.

A device (25) and a method for detecting the cause of a deviation from an ideal operating state of an extracorporeal blood treatment, wherein blood to be treated in an extracorporeal blood circulation (9) flows through the blood chamber (3) of a dialyzer (1), subdivided by a semipermeable membrane (2) into a blood chamber (3) and a dialysis fluid chamber (4), and dialysis fluid flows through the dialysis fluid chamber (4). The method includes the following: changing a characteristic (170; 171) of the dialysis fluid upstream from the dialysis fluid chamber (1), measuring a characteristic of the dialysis fluid downstream from the dialysis fluid chamber, determining a dialysance or clearance at a certain point in time during the blood treatment, detecting a deviation in the dialysance or clearance, and detecting the cause of a deviation from an ideal operating state as a function of the certain point in time.

A method for the depletion of at least one component of a fluid medium includes increasing the concentration of the at least one component to be depleted before its depletion. An apparatus for the depletion of the at least one component of the fluid medium has a concentration increasing unit for increasing the concentration of the component of the fluid medium to be depleted and a depletion unit disposed downstream thereof and in fluid communication therewith for the subsequent reduction in the concentration of the component to be depleted.
摘要:
A blood purification device has a blood purification element divided into two chambers by a semipermeable membrane, with a first chamber as part of a dialysis fluid loop and a second chamber as part of an extracorporeal blood loop. By virtue of an analysis unit operatively connected to a sensor in the dialysis fluid loop, the device provides simple and uncomplicated determination of the blood purification performance of the blood purification element for a second material by derivation from a previously established blood purification performance for a first material. In this way, the device also determines the blood concentration of the second material during the blood treatment through measurements in the dialysis fluid without intervention in the treatment sequence.

The invention relates to a method for the depletion of at least one component of a fluid medium, with the concentration of the at least one component to be depleted being increased before its depletion. The invention further relates to an apparatus for the depletion of at least one component of a fluid medium comprising a concentration increasing unit for increasing the concentration of the component of the fluid medium to be depleted and a depletion unit disposed downstream thereof and in fluid communication therewith for the subsequent reduction in the concentration of the component to be depleted.

The present invention relates to the field of blood purification devices having a blood purification element (1), divided into two chambers by a semipermeable membrane (2), whose first chamber (3) is part of a dialysis fluid loop and whose second chamber (4) is part of an extracorporeal blood loop. The present invention allows simple and uncomplicated determination of the blood purification performance of the blood purification element for a second material, which is derived from a previously established blood purification performance for a first material, which deviates therefrom. In this way, the blood treatment device according to the present invention also allows the determination of the blood concentration of the second material during the blood treatment through measurements in the dialysis fluid without intervention in the treatment sequence, which was not possible with previous methods.
