The inlet 25A of the valve device 23 is in fluid communication with the flow path via which liquid for disinfecting the hydraulic system II can be supplied, and the outlets 26A, 27A, 28A of the valve device 23 are in fluid communication with another flow path of the hydraulic system, so that liquid can simultaneously be supplied to the individual flow paths.

The present invention relates to a concentrate container having a concentrate that is configured to form a dialysis solution after its dilution with a diluting agent, in particular with water, wherein the concentrate container is in communication with a first connector having a first code that contains at least one piece of information on the concentrate; and wherein the concentrate container is furthermore in communication with a second connector whose second code differs from the first code, with the second code containing at least one piece of information on the dialysis solution.

The present teachings relate to a blood purification apparatus in which the connection of a substitution line to a collecting port can be checked accurately and instantly and even during blood purification treatment. A blood purification apparatus includes a blood circuit, a dialyzer, a dialysate introduction line, a dialysate drain line, a substitution line one end of which is connected to a collecting port provided at a predetermined position of the dialysate introduction line and an other end of which is connected to the blood circuit, a substitution pump configured to form a pressure-increasing portion that includes the collecting port, and a pressure-measuring device capable of measuring a pressure in the pressure-increasing portion. The blood purification apparatus performs a testing process by increasing a liquid pressure in the pressure-increasing portion by utilizing a liquid-feeding pressure applied from a liquid-feeding device and measuring the pressure with the pressure-measuring device.

A wall box apparatus and building wall chase system is described. A wall box apparatus is configured to operatively reduce the number of fluid line joints connected to building and machinery plumbing lines, and more particularly to dialysis treatment facilities and kidney-dialysis machines, respectively. A space-saving wall chase system is configured using the wall box to connect plumbing lines in a dialysis treatment facility to dialysis machines.

A dialysis base unit that is provided separately from a dialysate supply device for delivering dialysate and performs hemodialysis using the dialysate delivered from the dialysate supply device. The dialysis base unit includes a dialysate supply device identifying unit capable of identifying the dialysate supply device connected to the dialysis base unit. A dialysis system includes the dialysate supply device for delivering dialysate and the dialysis base unit.

The invention relates to a connector (1) constituted by: base provided with a tubular wall (13) closed by a bottom wall (11) provided with at least one through-opening (111); a membrane provided with a flexible wall (23) having a central opening, a tubing (22) placed in the opening of the flexible wall; sealing means for preventing a liquid from leaving the connector through the tubing. The base and the membrane are fixed to each other in a liquid-tight manner. The flexible wall allows axial displacement of the tubing so that it can be moved between a closed position, in which a liquid cannot leave the connector through the conduit of the tubing, and an open position, in which a liquid from can leave the connector through the tubing. Retaining means (121, 222a) maintain the tubing (22) closed with a force that can be overcome manually to open it.

A system and a solution-preparation-determining apparatus which determines whether additional preparation of an undiluted dialysate solution is necessary. A blood purification system includes a solution-preparing unit that prepares an undiluted dialysate solution, a dialysate-supplying unit that prepares a working dialysate at a predetermined concentration by diluting the undiluted dialysate solution received from the solution-preparing unit, a blood-purification-treatment section that includes a blood-purification-apparatus group including at least one blood purification apparatus that performs blood purification treatment in which the working dialysate is supplied to the blood-purification-apparatus group, and a determining unit that determines whether additional preparation of the undiluted dialysate solution is necessary from a result of comparison between an estimated number of treatment sessions expected to be performed by the blood-purification-apparatus group throughout a predetermined period and an actual number of treatment sessions performed by the blood-purification-apparatus group as of a time point during the predetermined period.
