Fluid preparation and treatment devices methods and systems
Methods, device, and systems for preparing peritoneal dialysis fluid and/or administering a peritoneal dialysis treatment are disclosed. In embodiments, peritoneal dialysis fluid is prepared at a point of use automatically using a daily sterile disposable fluid circuit and one or more long-term concentrate containers that are changed only after multiple days (e.g. weekly). The daily disposable may have concentrate containers that are initially empty and are filled from the long-term concentrate containers once per day at the beginning of a treatment.
Systems, devices, and methods for fluid monitoring
Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to predicting infection of a patient. These systems and methods may comprise illuminating a patient fluid in a fluid conduit from a plurality of illumination directions, measuring an optical characteristic of the illuminated patient fluid using one or more sensors, and predicting an infection state of the patient based at least in part on the measured optical characteristic.
Dialysis systems, devices, and methods
A treatment device system includes a treatment machine for performing a therapy on a patient, the treatment machine including at least one fluid conveyor and a controller, the controller having a first memory, to cause the at least one fluid conveyor to produce a therapeutic fluid by mixing purified water and at least one concentrate. The system also includes and a water purifier in fluid communication with and providing the purified water to the treatment machine. A wired or wireless control line provides two way communication between the controller of the treatment machine and the internal central controller of the water purifier, wherein the controller of the treatment machine transmits data via the control line to the internal central controller of the water purifier for control of the water purifier, the data provided based on at least one of the operator inputs received via the user interface.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OXYGEN-ENRICHMENT THERAPY BASED ON MICROVASCULAR RESISTANCE FEEDBACK
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling gas-enrichment, e.g., oxygen-enrichment, therapy. One or more sensors and/or one or more imaging systems may be used to measure or determine one or more physiological parameters of the patient. Feedback regarding one or more physiological parameters or microvascular resistance may be provided for titrating or controlling the gas-enrichment therapy.
Peritoneal dialysis systems, devices, and methods
A peritoneal dialysis device includes a disposable tubing set that includes a fill line with a patient access connector at one end and a dialysis fluid receiving end opposite the patient access connector end. The device also includes a fill-side pressure measuring sensor attached at the fill end and forming a disposable component of the tubing set and a patient-side pressure measuring sensor located at the fluid receiving end. The patient-side and fill-side pressure measuring sensors are adapted for measuring pressure in the fill line at the respective ends thereof. The device also includes a controller configured to regulate a rate of flow in the fill line responsively to a signal from the at least the patient-side pressure measuring sensor.
Medicament preparation and treatment devices, methods, and systems
A medicament preparation system, according to an embodiment, includes a water purification module and a medicament proportioning module. The system is configured to allow convenient and safe use in a home environment or a critical care environment as well as others affording safety, reliability, and a compact form factor.
DIALYSIS MACHINE
Embodiments of the present disclosure include a dialysis system having a disposable cartridge which includes one or more flowpaths arranged on or within the cartridge.
DEVICE FOR EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD TREATMENT
The invention relates to a system for treating blood, which includes a single cassette capable of carrying out the various CRRT treatments.
Treatment Fluid Devices Methods and Systems
A conductivity measurement device includes first and second conductivity measurement flow channels positioned in a fluid circuit and fluidly linked for fluid flow between the first and second conductivity measurement flow channels. A controller having a current source connected to the first and second conductivity channels applies alternating voltages at frequencies that are different, each being respective to one of the first and second conductivity cells.
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS CYCLER USING MICROPUMP
A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a cycler having a micropump actuator, a pressure transducer, and at least one valve actuator; a disposable set including a micropump head sized and shaped for mating with and being driven by the micropump actuator, a pressure sensor configured to operably communicate with the pressure transducer, and at least one fluid valve portion or a portion of at least one fluid line for interfacing with the at least one valve actuator; and a control unit, wherein the disposable set may be arranged to allow, and the control unit may be programmed to operate the micropump actuator and the at least one valve actuator, so that fresh and used dialysis fluid flows through the micropump head in a same direction. The system may also dampen pressure fluctuations via pressure pods, and may analyze the outputs from the pressure pods for patient empty and occlusion detection.
