摘要:
Embodiments are described for treating a fluid, e.g., a biological fluid. The embodiments may include systems, apparatuses, and methods. Embodiments may provide for a flow cell, with a plurality of manipulation elements, through which a fluid is flowed. The fluid may be treated (e.g., exposed to energy) as it moves through the flow cell. In embodiments, the flow cell may be used to inactivate pathogens in the fluid.

The present disclosure describes a novel therapeutic apheresis system and, more specifically, methods and an apparatus for performing therapeutic apheresis. The present disclosure provides highly efficient methods for therapeutic apheresis that modulate the immune system, thereby resulting in treatment of one or more underlying immunological disease processes. In some embodiments, the disclosed methods return at least a portion of blood from an extracorporeal circuit to a patient in pulsatile flow, where the portion of blood that is returned is augmented. In other embodiments, the disclosed methods and apparatus use the central arterial system to exchange volumes of plasma to immunomodulate disease processes. The disclosed methods combine concepts of intermittent flow and continuous flow therapeutic apheresis with established cardiovascular concepts. In addition, the disclosed methods reduce the amount of time spent by patients in therapeutic apheresis sessions and decrease patients' dependence on immunological drugs that may have detrimental adverse effects.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a package comprising an acidic citrate containing concentrate, an acidic citrate containing concentrate (or acidic citrate containing solution), and a system wherein the acidic citrate containing concentrate is included for providing a dialysis treatment. The acidic citrate containing concentrate contains citric acid and citrate in a molar ratio of 75:25 to 85:15, and has a pH of between 2 and 3.

A dialysate-extracting apparatus in which a collecting port can be disinfected with no disinfecting work to be performed by a worker. A dialysate-extracting apparatus includes a dialysate-extracting device having an introduction port and a discharge port each of which is connected to the flow route for liquid and allows the liquid to flow therethrough, and a collecting port from which the liquid flowing in the flow route is collectable; and an opening-and-closing device that is movable between a closing position where the opening-and-closing device covers the collecting port of the dialysate-extracting device and an opening position where the opening-and-closing device 6 opens the collecting port. The dialysate-extracting apparatus further includes an ultraviolet-applying device attached to the opening-and-closing device and that is capable of applying ultraviolet rays to the collecting port when the opening-and-closing device is at the closing position.

A citrate detector is provided for use in combination with a blood processing system and replacement fluid tubing or conduit of a disposable set. The citrate detector comprises a light source and a light detector. The light source is configured to emit a light having a wavelength absorbed by citrate, but at least partially transmitted by the replacement fluid conduit of the disposable set. The light detector is configured to receive at least a portion of the light from the light source and generate a signal indicative of the presence or absence of citrate in the replacement fluid conduit based, at least in part, on the amount of light received from the light source. A blood processing system incorporating such a citrate detector may include a flow detector for determining whether fluid is present in the conduit prior to checking for the presence of citrate.
摘要:
Provision of a blood purification system comprising a blood purification tubing and a blood purification apparatus particularly suitable for use in continuous hemofiltration in which in the treatment of a patient with renal disease, multiple organ failure, and the like, the amount of water removed from the patient and the amount of supply to the patient can be more accurately controlled, and in which preparation operation is easy. A blood purification system comprising a blood purification tubing and a blood purification apparatus wherein the soft tubes of flow paths connecting a first planar panel and a second planar panel, and the location of the soft tubes are selected to satisfy a formula of a predetermined condition.
摘要:
Blood treatment system and method for high rate hemofiltration ensures against pyrogenic patient reaction by providing various mechanisms for filtering replacement fluid to remove endotoxins and other safety features including detecting incorrect fluid administration.
摘要:
An extracorporeal circulation apparatus used for the selective temperature controlling method in which a temperature of an object is kept at a predetermined temperature, includes: (A) a fluid replacement supply unit which quantitatively supplies a fluid replacement of which temperature has been adjusted into a blood vessel; (B) a blood concentration unit which quantitatively withdraws blood diluted by the fluid replacement from a blood vessel and concentrates the withdrawn diluted blood; and (C) a blood supply unit which controls a temperature of the blood which has been concentrated and quantitatively supplies the concentrated blood into a blood vessel, the blood concentration unit comprising a diluted blood temperature sensor which measures a temperature of the withdrawn diluted blood, and the fluid replacement supply unit including a means which controls a temperature of the fluid replacement to be supplied based on a different extent between the measured diluted blood temperature and the predetermined temperature of the object.
