A fully-automatic regional citrate anticoagulation machine is disclosed. A sampling portion extracts a blood sample on line and in real time and sends it to a storage purifier for storage and purification. A sample injection portion conveys the blood sample in the blood sample storage purifier to a sample loading slot through a sample injection tube. An assay and analysis portion conveys, through a sample suction tube, the blood sample to an analyzer for blood sample assay and analysis. The sampling portion, the sample injection portion, the assay and analysis portion and an administration portion are connected to the program control portion. The program control portion controls, according to an internally-set program, operation of the sampling portion, the sample injection portion and the assay and analysis portion, and sends an instruction to the administration portion according to the data result obtained by the assay and analysis portion.

Systems and methods for processing sensor data and self-calibration are provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided which are capable of calibrating a continuous analyte sensor based on an initial sensitivity, and then continuously performing self-calibration without using, or with reduced use of, reference measurements. In certain embodiments, a sensitivity of the analyte sensor is determined by applying an estimative algorithm that is a function of certain parameters. Also described herein are systems and methods for determining a property of an analyte sensor using a stimulus signal. The sensor property can be used to compensate sensor data for sensitivity drift, or determine another property associated with the sensor, such as temperature, sensor membrane damage, moisture ingress in sensor electronics, and scaling factors.

A method may include accessing a terminal branch of an ophthalmic artery through a face of a subject. Additionally, the method may include positioning a device within the ophthalmic artery of the subject and treating at least one of a blockage, a stenosis, a lesion, plaque or other physiology in at least one of the ophthalmic artery or a junction between an internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.

The invention relates to devices, systems, and methods for performing a precision or personalized Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) therapy session or cycle based on dialysis adequacy measurements in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis treatment. The settings for the precision peritoneal dialysis therapy session can be obtained using one or more flow sensors and one or more uremic solute sensors that measure the uremic solute concentration and volume of the peritoneal dialysate removed from the patient. The desired dialysis adequacy for a specific patient, group of patients, or class of patients, can then be calculated based on the measured peritoneal dialysate concentration and volume. Using the calculated dialysis adequacy, the system and methods can then set one or more peritoneal dialysis parameters for subsequent cycles or sessions.

A fluid to be optically monitored may be optically mixed to modify the apparent color perceived by a colorimetric optical sensor device. The fluid is positioned within a fluid compartment of a vessel also including a contrast compartment adjacent to the fluid compartment. The contrast compartment is configured to have a contrast color with a known main wavelength that is different from the main wavelength of the fluid color. Light from a broadband light source of the colorimetric optical sensor device is reflected off of the vessel, with the received light being received by an optical spectrometer. The optical spectrometer analyzes the received light to determine a main wavelength of the received light, followed by a controller determining a characteristic of the fluid, which is based on the main wavelengths of the received light and the contrast color and the percentage of the vessel occupied by the fluid compartment.

Systems and method are disclosed for determining a concentration of an analyte in a fluid (e.g., blood). The system can draw blood from a patient and deliver the blood to a sample cell. A particular component of the fluid (e.g., plasma) may be separated and/or positioned such that the concentration of the analyte is measured in the particular component of the fluid (e.g., plasma). The sample cell can include a sample container that has two window pieces. The system can have a fluid passage having a tip configured to mate with a multi-lumen catheter without leaking. The multi-lumen catheter can have proximal and distal ports. A fluid pressure system can be configured to periodically draw fluid from vasculature through a proximal intravascular opening and the proximal port while maintaining a low pressure and/or flow rate to thereby reduce risk of reversing the fluid flow in a vessel and drawing infusates upstream into another intravascular opening.

A peristaltic pump for an apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment, especially for a dialysis machine, for delivering fluid in the apparatus is disclosed. The peristaltic pump includes a rotor driven to rotate about a rotor axis and a pump casing surrounding the rotor at least in part and including a supporting surface being configured to be curved around the rotor axis, wherein an elastically deformable fluid line is adapted to be positioned between the rotor and the supporting surface and is deformed between the rotor and the supporting surface while forming a cross-sectional constriction for fluid delivery by rotation of the rotor, the pump casing having a modular design and including a supporting surface module forming the supporting surface and a casing module adapted to be coupled to the former and surrounding the rotor at least in part.
