A device includes a body defining a respiration passage in fluidic communication with a filter fitting disposed on a first end of the body and a mask fitting disposed on a second end of the body, and a treatment passage in fluidic communication with the mask fitting. A treatment fitting is disposed on the body and is coupleable to a treatment source such that a seal in the treatment fitting transitions from a closed state to an open state to allow fluidic communication between the treatment source and the treatment passage. The device configured to permit (i) inhalation air and/or exhaled breath to be drawn and/or expelled through the filter fitting, the respiration passage, and the mask fitting and (ii) a respiratory therapeutic to be drawn from the treatment source coupled to the treatment fitting, through the treatment passage, and through the mask fitting.

A patient interface includes: a plenum chamber; a seal-forming structure; a positioning and stabilising structure; a plenum chamber insert configured to be positioned and retained within the plenum chamber; and a vent structure; wherein the plenum chamber insert has a plenum chamber insert port; wherein the plenum chamber insert has an exterior surface configured to be positioned adjacent to an interior surface of the plenum chamber; wherein when the plenum chamber insert is positioned and retained within the plenum chamber, a radial channel is formed by the interior surface of the plenum chamber and the exterior surface of the plenum chamber insert such that gas is able to pass between a patient-proximal side plenum chamber insert and a patient-distal side of the plenum chamber insert via the radial channel during use.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for instilling fluid to a tissue site in a negative-pressure therapy environment are described. Illustrative embodiments may include a pneumatically-actuated instillation pump that can draw a solution from a solution source during a negative-pressure interval, and instill the solution to a dressing during a venting interval. A pneumatic actuator may be mechanically coupled to a disposable distribution system that can provide a fluid path between the solution source and a distribution component. A bacterial filter may be disposed in the fluid path between the actuator and the distribution component to prevent contamination of the actuator during operation. The distribution system may be separated from the actuator and disposed of after operation, and the actuator may be re-used.

Systems and methods of generating and regenerating peritoneal dialysate are provided. The systems and methods use a dialysate regeneration module, a sterilization module and concentrates to prepare peritoneal dialysate from used peritoneal dialysate or source water. An optional integrated cycler for direct infusion of the generated peritoneal dialysate is included. Optional dialysate storage containers are provided for storage of the peritoneal dialysate prior to use.

Systems and methods of generating peritoneal dialysate are provided. The systems and methods use a water purification module, a sterilization module and concentrates to prepare a bolus of peritoneal dialysate from source water for use with an non-integrated cycler.

Systems and methods of generating peritoneal dialysate and using the peritoneal dialysate with an integrated cycler are provided. The systems and methods use a water purification module, a sterilization module and concentrates to prepare peritoneal dialysate from source water and infuse the prepared peritoneal dialysate into a patient with an integrated cycler. Optional dialysate storage containers are provided for storage of the peritoneal dialysate prior to use.

A control system is configured to implement a method of preparing a blood treatment apparatus (1) for blood treatment. The method comprises installing, by use of a disposable arrangement, first and second flow circuits (C1, C2) separated by a semi-permeable membrane (25), the first flow circuit (C1) being connected for fluid communication with the apparatus (1) and the second flow circuit (C2) being connected to form a closed loop that includes a sterilizing filter (46) and, optionally, a container (30). The method further comprises performing backfiltration to transfer a human-compatible fluid from the first flow circuit (C1) to the second flow circuit (C2) through the semi-permeable membrane (25), and circulating (304) the human-compatible fluid in the closed loop of second flow circuit (C2), to thereby sterilize the human-compatible fluid by the sterilizing filter (46) and, optionally, collect a resulting sterile fluid in the container (30) for later use.

A portable ventilation device is detachably attached to a face mask and communicated with a covered space formed between the face mask and a user wearing the face mask. The portable ventilation device includes a cover and a fan assembly. The cover has an attachment structure that allows the cover to be detachably attached to the face mask. The cover has an air inlet portion and an air outlet portion communicated with the air inlet portion. The fan assembly is positioned between the air inlet portion and the air outlet portion, and serves to introduce an external airflow into the covered space inside the face mask. The external airflow enters the cover through the air inlet portion and enters the covered space through the air outlet portion, thereby facilitating ventilation in the face mask and improving comfort of wearing the face mask.

A medical breathing gas filter housing includes a first housing body including a first port, and a second housing body including a second port. The gas filter housing is configurable between a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the first housing body is snap fit to the second housing body such that first and second interior sides of the first and second housing bodies, respectively, define a cavity, the cavity sized to receive a replaceable gas filter media. In the open state, the first housing body is separated from the second housing body to provide access to the cavity.

For the administering of medicaments, an adapter is provided for connection to a haemodialysis tube set, which makes possible the direct connection of a standard injection vial to the extracorporeal circuit, avoiding the introduction of air into the circuit. The adapter has two conduit pathways. The conduit pathway for the application of medicament contains a gas-blocking element. The second conduit pathway serves for the aeration of the injection vial.
