A dialysis system includes a filtration system capable of filtering a water stream, a water purification system capable of purifying said water stream in a non-batch process, a mixing system capable of producing a stream of dialysate from mixing one or more dialysate components with the water stream in a non-batch process, and a dialyzer system. The dialyzer may be a microfluidic dialyzer capable of being fluidly coupled to the stream of dialysate and a blood stream.
摘要:
A dialysis monitor with a treatment fluid path configured to provide treatment fluid to a dialyzer when dialysis treatment is performed by the dialysis monitor is provided. A battery unit is connected to a controller and at least a portion of the functional elements of the dialysis monitor in order to provide back-up power should the supply of external power be discontinued. Energy of the battery unit is used to provide energy to the heater in preparation for and/or at least partly during thermal disinfection of the treatment fluid path or when starting up the preparation of treatment fluid thereby shortening the time required for the thermal disinfection and the starting up of the preparation of treatment fluid, respectively.

Dialysis systems including a water treatment unit preferably of the osmosis type, a drain line, and a heat exchanger are disclosed. A water supply line is connected to an outlet of the water treatment unit. The water supply line includes branch connections to which dialyzers are selectively fluid-coupled. Used-up dialysis fluid can be discharged from fluid-coupled dialyzers through the drain line. The heat exchanger, which is external to the dialyzers, connected on one side to the water supply line directly upstream of the branch connections and on the other side to the drain line.

The present invention shows a method for the keeping constant of a pH of a medical liquid when draining from a container, wherein CO2 and at least one further gas or gas mixture flows into the container during the draining of the medical liquid CO2. The invention furthermore shows an apparatus for the keeping constant of a pH of a medical liquid when draining from a container, wherein the container has an outflow for the medical liquid, at least one inflow for CO2 as well as an inflow for at least one further gas or gas mixture, wherein an electronic control for the determination and automatic supply of a CO2 quantity during the draining of the medical liquid is provided.
摘要:
A process is provided to produce water that will meet the specifications of the United States Pharmacopeia Inc. for Purified Water and Water for Injection, and water for dialysis as circumscribed by the American Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The system has no storage tanks where stagnant water will be fouled by biofilm colonizing the tank surface. Water is circulated throughout the purification system and drawn as required, on demand. The water is purified and used immediately or recycled and repurified to ensure quality. Sanitation of the purification system, maintaining microbiological purity and cleaning is done by controlling the pH so that it is normally acidic by maintaining a high carbon dioxide concentration in solution, the carbon dioxide being allowed to pass into the permeate from a reverse osmosis membrane assembly used to purify the water.

摘要:
The present invention relates to the treatment of kidney insufficiency and more particularly to a peritoneal dialysis device. The device is adapted to function in tidal peritoneal dialysis (TPD) mode, the device being characterized by the fact that it is provided with a variation system for varying the parameters of dialysate exchange over time. The system is designed in such a manner as to vary the duration between two cycles for exchanging fractions of dialysate.
摘要:
Medical drug formulation and delivery system includes a reverse osmosis device for purifying water from a source comprising a housing having an inlet for passage of water from the source, a first outlet for passage of purified water from the housing and a second outlet for passage of waste water remaining after purification. A first reverse osmosis multilayer assembly is disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the inlet for purification of at least a first portion of the water from the source. Water treatment chemicals can be positioned in a core about which the first reserve osmosis multilayer assembly is wound. The treatment chemicals are in fluid communication with the first reverse osmosis multilayer assembly to receive the first purified portion of water and for removal of at least chemical contaminants therefrom. A second reverse osmosis multilayer assembly is also wound on the core and is in fluid communication with the water treatment chemicals to receive the chemically purified water for purification of at least a second portion thereof. The second reserve osmosis multilayer assembly is in fluid communication with the first outlet so as to permit passage of the second portion of purified water therethrough. In one preferred embodiment, the first and second reverse osmosis assemblies are formed integrally in a side by side configuration. In an alternative embodiment, they are rolled about the core in an interleaf configuration.
摘要:
A method is described for priming a dialyzer placed in an extracorporeal circuit of a hemodialysis machine in situ. The method comprises the steps of substantially filling the extracorporeal circuit and the blood side of the dialyzer with fluid (such as dialysate, RO water, saline, etc.), and inducing pressure pulses in the fluid. The pressure pulses cause air bubbles from the blood side of the dialyzer to be sheared off the dialyzer membrane. The air bubbles are then conducted from the dialyzer and removed from the extracorporeal circuit. Backfiltering of fluid across the dialyzer from the dialysate circuit into the extracorporeal circuit is performed in synchrony with the pressure pulses to assist in the shearing off of air bubbles from the blood side of the dialyzer membrane.
