Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment, comprising a device for detecting a tubing system to be placed in the blood treatment apparatus and a method for detecting a tubing system to be placed in an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus. The tubing system is detected on the basis of the dependency of the flow rate Q, at which the fluid is delivered by at least one pump of the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus in a tubing section of the tubing system, on the speed n at which the at least one pump is operated, and on the inner diameter d of the tube of the tubing section. Because the dependency of the flow rate on the pump speed and the tube cross section is known, a conclusion can be drawn as to whether a particular tubing system has been placed in the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus.
Abstract:
A method provides for checking the correct coupling of an adding device to a therapeutic appliance that includes an extracorporeal circuit with which the adding device is connected such that a drug can be introduced into the extracorporeal circuit by the adding device during operation of the therapeutic appliance. The adding device is coupled to the extracorporeal circuit on the suction side of a pump disposed in the extracorporeal circuit, with a portion in the region of negative pressure of the extracorporeal circuit being in connection with a portion of the adding device that is closed with respect to the other parts of the extracorporeal circuit, and with the pressure in the closed portion being varied and measured.

Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of a directional sound source, a medical treatment station and a treatment room, in which each such medical treatment station has a directional sound source assigned to it.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a reverse osmosis system having an apparatus for noise cancellation of the reverse osmosis system, wherein the apparatus has at least one sensor for the detection of at least one noise emitted by the reverse osmosis system; at least one controller connected to the sensor for the evaluation of the signal or signals obtained from the sensor; and at least one actuator connected to the controller, with the actuator being designed such that it generates an acoustic signal or a vibration by means of which the noise emitted by the reverse osmosis system is damped or cancelled out.
Abstract:
A method and device that relates to the field of medical fluid management devices, in particular dialysis machines, provided. The method and device is configured to provide for the monitoring and control of medical fluid management devices from a remote site. To do so, the screen content of the output device of a fluid management device is transmitted at least partially to an output device of a remote control unit. The screen content optionally has user interfaces, which can be selected on the remote control device and lead to changes in the control of the transmitting medical fluid management device.
Abstract:
A container includes a dry concentrate designed such that the dry concentrate forms an acid liquid concentrate, or a part of an acid liquid concentrate, which is suitable for manufacturing a dialysis solution, on the dissolution of the dry concentrate in a liquid, preferably in water.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of a concentrate for dialysis, the composition of which can be adapted individually to the respective needs of the patient. To do so, the special components required individually are added in the form of highly concentrated special concentrates with a volume of 10-500 mL to 3-10 liters of standard concentrate. The two solutions are then mixed thoroughly by compressed air, which is blown through the concentrate intake rod into the solution from a compressed air source in the dialysis machine.
