Abstract:
The disclosure relates to systems and methods for increasing the functional capabilities of a sorbent-based dialysis system. The systems and methods allow for the mode of operation of the dialysis system to be switched between single pass mode and a sorbent based multi-pass mode by controlling an amount of water added to the dialysate between 0% to 100% of the dialysate flow rate.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for recharging zirconium phosphate and zirconium oxide in reusable sorbent modules are provided. The systems and methods provide for recharging any combination of zirconium phosphate and/or zirconium oxide sorbent modules. The systems and methods also provide for linkage of multiple rechargers for sharing of infrastructure.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to the synchronization of clocks of a secondary implantable medical device (IMD) to a clock of a primary IMD. The secondary IMD includes a communications clock. The communications clock may be synchronized based on at least one received communications pulse. The secondary IMD further includes a general purpose clock different than the communications clock. The general purpose clock may be synchronized based on at least one received power pulse. The communications clock may also be synchronized based on the at least one received power pulse.
Abstract:
A flexible pipe routing accessory for routing a flexible tube between a preparator and an automatic cycler of a peritoneal dialysis system, comprising: a guide pipe through which the flexible tube is to be routed; a guide wire configured to pass through the guide pipe and selectively connect to the flexible tube; and a winding mechanism configured to move the guide wire through the guide pipe.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for recharging zirconium phosphate and zirconium oxide are provided. The systems and methods provide for recharging of the zirconium phosphate and zirconium oxide in reusable sorbent modules. The systems and methods include recharging flow paths for recharging zirconium phosphate independently or concurrently.

Abstract:
Control logic and processes for monitoring and controlling sorbent rechargers are presented. The control logic and processes use control systems to monitor the rechargers for performance problems and to control the recharging process. Various sensors in communication with the control systems are provided to ensure proper operation.
