    摘要: Embodiments of the invention pertain to cartridges, systems and methods for performing hemodialysis and related extracorporeal blood treatment modalities and therapies, in which blood flows in the inter fiber space and dialysate flows in the lumens of hollow fibers. Appropriate connectors and fitting orientations may be provided. There may be provided orbital distributors, fanning of fibers, and features to promote uniformity of fiber spacing in the fiber bundle. Orbital distributors may contain contoured surfaces, flow redirectors, non-uniform-conductance flow elements, through-wall distributors, and other features. There may be subdivision of the fiber bundle into two groups of fibers with separate control fluid to each group. Appropriate systems may be provided for various therapies. Flow past the fibers may be parallel, transverse or other configuration. These various features may enable long-term application to all dialysis and ultrafiltration related therapies, and also to other therapies and to applications including implantables, portables and wearables.

    摘要: An extracorporeal blood treatment device and method for priming and rinsing an extracorporeal blood treatment device. The extracorporeal blood treatment device includes an extracorporeal circuit, a dialyzer, and a dialyzing liquid circuit. The extracorporeal blood treatment device is configured for priming and rinsing the extracorporeal circuit, dialyzer and dialyzing liquid circuit. An arterial section and a venous section of the extracorporeal circuit are connected by a connector device. A control unit of the extracorporeal blood treatment device is configured to control the priming such that a liquid is supplied from the dialyzing liquid circuit via the dialyzer to the extracorporeal circuit and to control the rinsing such that it occurs via a created pressure difference between the extracorporeal circuit and the dialyzing liquid circuit for causing a liquid transfer via the dialyzer, in particular from the extracorporeal circuit to the dialyzing liquid circuit.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for priming an extracorporeal blood circuit using a blood treatment apparatus comprising a dialysis liquid preparation system having, a source of water, a source of bicarbonate concentrate and a source of acid concentrate including sodium chloride while not having a source of sodium chloride only, the method including preparing a priming solution from said source (of water and said source of acid only to obtain an acid/water solution, wherein bicarbonate from the source of bicarbonate concentrate is absent from said solution, connecting an arterial line section of the extracorporeal blood circuit to an outlet of the dialysis liquid preparation system of the blood treatment apparatus, and filling the extracorporeal blood circuit with said priming solution.
