Extracorporeal blood treatment data interface
Extracorporeal blood treatment systems and methods to display and select various historical data for extracorporeal blood treatments. Historical data related to extracorporeal blood treatments may be displayed on a two-dimensional graph and in a list view that may be switched there between. Further, historical data may include various datasets (e.g., fluid datasets, patient fluid removal datasets, anticoagulation datasets, etc.) and event information that may be displayed simultaneously.
Infusion Line With A Facility To Promote Mixing Of An Infusion Solution With A Further Fluid, Apparatuses And Method
The present disclosure relates to an addition line for adding an infusion solution to a fluid, which flows in an extracorporeal blood circuit, wherein the addition line comprises a pressure release valve or a check valve. It further relates to an extracorporeal blood circuit, a blood treatment apparatus and a method using the addition line.
Dialysis systems and related methods
A dialysis machine that includes a valve member having a deformable area configured to deform outwardly away when pressurized fluid is introduced into the valve member. The valve member is configured so that, when a dialysis fluid cassette is disposed in a cassette compartment of the dialysis machine and pressurized fluid is introduced into the valve member, the deformable area obstructs a fluid channel of the dialysis fluid cassette to control dialysis fluid flow therethrough.
Systems and methods for minimizing loss of cellular components during apheresis
Systems and methods for processing a fluid including a suspension of biological cellular components are disclosed including a single-use kit comprising a container for the fluid; a separation device for retaining selected biological cellular components and allowing other biological cellular components of said fluid to pass therethrough; a flow path connecting the container to the separation device, the container being configured, when in use, to be positioned so that gravity tends to flow fluid through the flow path. The flow path has a segment in close proximity to the container with a configuration including a positive slope, so that biological cellular components moving through the segment are subjected to a gravitational force tending to impede movement through the flow path segment. The flow path segment preferably has a generally circular configuration, and a diameter of approximately 1.5 inches. Alternatively, the flow path segment may have a generally S-shaped configuration.
CLAMPING DEVICE
A clamping device capable of clamping a flexible tube in a good manner without fail and also capable of intercepting the flow of a fluid in the flexible tube more exactly. A clamping device includes a one end portion having a locked part at a tip, an other end portion having a locking part capable of locking the locked part, and insertion holes allowing a flexible tube to be inserted between a first projection and a second projection. In a clamped state, the first projection and the second projection are positioned close to each other, and the flexible tube is thus clamped so that the flow of a fluid is intercepted at the clamped position. The other end portion has interfering parts. When the one end portion is further pressed with the locked part being locked by the locking part, the interfering parts interfere with predetermined points and prevents further movement of the locked part.
DRAIN APPARATUS FOR HEMODIALYSIS MACHINES
This disclosure relates to dialysis systems and methods. In some implementations, a dialysis system includes a dialysis machine with a fluid line and a drain line, a blood line set configured to be connected to the dialysis machine, and a drain apparatus coupled to the dialysis machine. The drain apparatus includes a chamber configured to receive an end of a patient line of the blood line set, an inlet line, an outlet line, and a valve. The inlet line has a first end configured to be coupled to the chamber and a second end configured to be coupled to the fluid line of the dialysis machine. The outlet line has a first end configured to be coupled to the chamber and a second end configured to be coupled to the drain line of the dialysis machine. The valve is configured to control flow of fluid through the outlet line.
Sensor clip assembly for an optical monitoring system
Systems and sensor clip assemblies for optically monitoring blood flowing through a blood chamber are provided. A sensor clip assembly includes emitters and photodetectors positioned on opposing arms, a signal conditioning circuit for conditioning raw analog signals generated by the photodetectors while the sensor clip assembly is fastened to a blood chamber, and an analog-to-digital converter for converting the conditioned analog signals to raw digital data. The sensor clip assembly may output the raw digital data to an external device and receive synchronized control signals from the external device, or the sensor clip assembly may include a microcontroller for performing calculations on the raw digital data and providing synchronized control signals internally. Parameters of blood flowing through the blood chamber such as hematocrit, oxygen saturation, and change in blood volume may be calculated from the raw digital data derived from the raw analog signals generated by the photodetectors.
HEATING DEVICE
The present invention relates to a heating device for one or more components of an extracorporeal circuit of a blood treatment device, in particular of a dialyzer, an adsorber or a filter, wherein the heating device has at least one reception region for the named component and at least one heating element for heating the component located in the receiver, wherein the heating device has a plurality of layers, with at least one layer being a flexible layer or elastically deformable layer.
DISPOSABLE KIT FOR MEDICAL APPARATUS
A disposable kit for a medical apparatus includes a tray and a subassembly with sections foldably connected to each other. At least one of the sections can fold itself onto the tray so that the subassembly encloses a region of the tray. When the tray is laid on the subassembly in a predetermined position, elevated channel regions formed on a front side of the tray and facing the subassembly can accommodate component installations of the subassembly, and a section of the subassembly can be folded to the rear side of the tray so that component installations on that section can be accommodated in elevated channel regions formed on the rear side of the tray. In this manner, the subassembly forms a hard-shell that at least partially surrounds the tray and protects pre-installed or packed pressure-sensitive components, parts and or regions of the disposable kit.
System for monitoring and controlling organ blood perfusion
The present invention provides a system, a method, devices and a computer implemented with a method for the monitoring and the control of a subject's organ perfusion. The present invention further provides for the use of a system, a method, devices and a computer implemented with a method for the monitoring and the control of a subject's organ perfusion.
