Abstract:
A clinical parameter ca!cuiation-simulatioii-monitoring system includes an interface configured to receive data input pertaining to one or more input parameters; a processor operably connected to receive data signals from the interface corresponding to the received data input pertaining to the one or more input parameters, wherein the processor calculates one or more output values based on the one or more input parameters, wherein the one or more output values pertain to clinically relevant outcome parameters: and a monitor display assembly operably connected to receive the one or more output values calculated by the processor, wherein the monitor display assembly includes a display configured for monitoring at least one of the one or more output values calculated by the processor.
Abstract:
A method comprising: receiving patient assessment information concerning one or more subjective characteristics of a patient; determining a patient assessment score based on the received patient assessment information; and modifying operation of a medical fluid treatment machine based on the patient assessment score.
Abstract:
A control system controlling blood gas values in blood processed by an oxygenator, wherein the oxygenator generates arterial blood by exposing venous blood to oxygen from an oxygenation gas supply,comprises a monitoring arrangement to determine a level of the blood gas values in the arterial blood and a controller that is responsive to the monitoring arrangement and configured to control parameters of the oxygenation gas supply to the oxygenator. This allows the blood gas values to be adjusted toward a pre-determined level.
Abstract:
It is disclosed an apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment (1) having a control unit (15) connected to an ultrafiltration device (20) and to a fluid preparation section (30) of fresh dialysis liquid. The control unit (15) is configured to receive measured values of the change of blood volume, the amount of ultrafiltration volume, and conductivity or to the concentration for at least one substance in the blood (BV%mes(t); UFmes(t), WLmes(t); Cbmes(t)); the control unit (15) is also configured to receive prescription values for the same parameters and to control ultrafiltration and adjust conductivity in the fresh dialysis liquid based on the difference between said measured values and said prescription values.
Abstract:
The invention is about a next-generation blood pump that provides pulsatile blood flow, and has been developed for cardiopulmonary by-pass devices used for maintaining extracorporeal blood circulation during heart surgeries and the supportive devices of circulation system. This device is technically a sort of synchronous power-assisted motor employing direct driver technology. The mentioned blood pump contains a rotor rotating on a magnetic bearing without a shaft and through the helical wings placed into the rotor it provides pulsatile blood supply adequate for the body requirement synchronous with the ECG signals received from the patients. It provides a patient safer and controlled pulsatile blood flow while running at high efficiency.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for testing at least one function of a medical functional device inserted into a medical treatment device (4) and connected thereto and compressed therein, and/or a function of said treatment device (4), wherein at least one fluidic communication is established between a hydraulic device or a pneumatic unit (200) of the treatment device (4) and the functional device. The invention also relates to a detection device, programmed and/or configured for carrying out the claimed method and to a medical treatment device (4) comprising at least one claimed detection device and/or working therewith for transmitting a signal or joined thereto for transmitting a signal, a digital storage medium, a computer program product and a computer program.
