    Abstract: A sensor/transducer for use in reducing leakage current from a patient fluidly connected to a medical device by tubing filled with a conductive fluid (e.g., blood or dialysate (a “fluid line”)) includes a magnetically conductive core with 1) a centrally located support for a coil of fluid line, and 2) coiled electrical conductors located at positions that are spaced from the centrally located support, on opposite sides of the centrally located support. The sensor/transducer can be used to measure leakage current carried by the conductive fluid in the fluid line, or it can be used to induce current in the fluid line in a manner that reduces the leakage current.

    Abstract: Liquid leakage is certainly detected and abnormality in an installation state is detected. A liquid detecting device 10 includes a liquid detection sensor 1 including an insulation sheet 14 exhibiting conductivity in the presence of liquid, electrode members 15 electrically isolated from each other, and a resistance member 18 connected to join the electrode members 15 together. In the liquid detecting device 10, the measurement device 2 measures a value of resistance between the electrode members 15. Based on the value of resistance between the electrode members 15, the liquid detecting device 10 identifies a liquid leakage state in which the insulation sheet 14 exhibits conductivity, a disconnected state in which the electrode members 15 are disconnected from the measurement device 2, and a measurement preparation completed state, and outputs identification information which corresponds to each identified state.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for monitoring an access to a patient, in particular a vascular access in extracorporeal blood treatment, in which a patient's blood is withdrawn from the patient via an arterial conduit and is returned to the patient via a venous conduit. In the device according to the present invention and in the method according to the present invention, an alternating voltage signal, relative to a common ground potential, is coupled in and out of the arterial and venous conduits, and the blood flowing through the arterial and venous conduits is at ground potential. In this way, disturbances, which can be attributed particularly to movements of the conduits, are reduced.

    Abstract: An infusion control device controls infusion of a liquid in an extracorporeal blood circuit having an arterial pipe connected to an inlet of a blood compartment of a filter and a venous pipe connected to an outlet of the blood compartment. The arterial pipe is also connected to a pre-dilution pipe of an infusion circuit, and the venous pipe is also connected to a post-dilution pipe of said infusion circuit. The infusion control device regulates and distributes an infusion flow rate in the arterial and venous pipes based on a monitoring of quantities that are directly correlated with the operating conditions of the filter.

    Abstract: The measurement of blood flow in a dialysis shunt is obtained by injection of an indicator material into a venous line leading from dialysis equipment to the shunt. The blood flow in an arterial line leading from the shunt at a location downstream of the venous line to the dialysis equipment is monitored by an arterial line sensor for the presence of the indicator material. A detector connected to the sensor provides a dilution curve in response to the presence of the indicator material and the blood flow in the shunt is calculated from the area under the dilution curve. The locations of the arterial and venous lines in the shunt can be reversed to obtain a measurement of blood recirculation from the venous line into the arterial line.
