A method and an apparatus for preparation of a medical solution from water and a plurality of concentrates, including at least one acid in gaseous form, comprises the steps of transporting the water from a source through a main conduit and successively adding the plurality of concentrates to the water in the main conduit at a plurality of predetermined points positioned along the main conduit. The apparatus for preparing the medical solution includes a source for supplying the gaseous acid and other concentrates to the plurality of predetermined points along the main conduit, wherein the plurality of predetermined points includes a gas inlet for injecting the acid in gaseous form supplied from the gas source into the main conduit.
摘要:
Methods for the central preparation and distribution of a concentrate to a plurality of medical treatment devices are disclosed comprising supplying a stream of substantially only water to a central container which includes a single salt composition at least partially in solid form, producing a substantially saturated solution of the salt composition in the central container, and distributing the salt solution to a distribution conduit which includes a plurality of concentrate connectors whereby the salt solution can be distributed to the plurality of medical treatment devices. Methods for disinfecting this apparatus, the apparatus itself, and containers for use in the apparatus are also disclosed.

The present invention concerns a dialysis acid precursor composition for use during preparation of a dialysis acid concentrate solution and for mixing with water and a bicarbonate containing concentrate into a ready-for-use dialysis solution. Said dialysis acid precursor composition consist of powder components comprising sodium chloride, at least one dry acid and at least one magnesium salt, and optionally potassium salt, calcium salt, and glucose. According to the invention said at least one magnesium salt and said optional glucose, are present as anhydrous components in said dialysis acid precursor composition.

A blood access device including a fluid conduit configured to convey a flow of fluid to a target vessel, a second lever element pivotally and resiliently connected to a first lever element such that it may move from a first position to a second position. A biasing force is exerted on the second lever element for moving it from the first position to the second position, and a blocking member may be activated by the second lever element, such that a flow of fluid is decreased when the second lever element is moved from the first position to the second position. The lever elements are configured to be fixed to the target vessel when the second lever element is in the first position, and the second lever element moves to the second position and activates the blocking member if the fixation is at least partially lost.

A package has a transport/storage state for storing powdery material which is to be mixed with a solvent to form a medical solution. The package includes a compartment which is at least partially defined by two opposing wall portions, and a connector. In the transport/storage state, the compartment contains the powdery material in the form of at least two distinct sets of powdery material of different compositions, where the opposing wall portions are brought into engagement with the powdery material so as to immobilize the sets of powdery material. When used for preparation of the medical solution, a fluid is selectively admitted into the package via the connector so as to expand the compartment and enable mixing of the sets of powdery material with the solvent in the compartment.

Arc fault detection method and apparatus employ an impedance-based current sensor to provide a sensing signal indicative of current through a conductor. The impedance-based current sensor diverts high frequency components of current through the conductor and converts the high frequency components into an arc fault signal.

A circuit is disclosed for extracorporeal blood treatment in which a flow-inverting device is interposed between a blood treatment unit and a blood pump placed on an artery branch connected with a vascular access of a patient. The flow-inverting device allows the blood flow within the filtering unit to be kept unchanged even following an inverted circulation in the patient-side artery and vein branches controlled by the blood pump.
摘要:
A method of monitoring the internal impedance of an accumulator battery in an uninterruptible power supply, and a UPS. In accordance with the invention, during the discharge of the battery to the load, the load current induced by the load and passing through the battery is measured or calculated, and the corresponding AC voltage component obtained on the battery voltage is measured, the value for the internal impedance of the battery being calculated from these values. The obtained impedance value is compared to a predetermined reference value to determine the condition of the battery.
