The present invention relates to a dialysis machine having an extracorporeal blood system; a dialysis fluid system having a dialyzer; having a control unit, wherein the dialysis machine furthermore comprises a balancing chamber having two balancing chamber halves for a balanced infeed and draining of dialysis fluid to and from the dialyzer, wherein a line is provided through which the dialysis fluid is conducted to the balancing chamber, and wherein a mixing chamber is provided in which the fresh dialysis fluid or a component thereof is located and which is directly or indirectly connected to a de-airing line closable by a valve; wherein the dialysis machine has a control unit that is configured such that the control unit opens and closes the valve once, or a number of times, in the operating state of the special air separation of the dialysis machine when the balancing chamber half of the balancing chamber in fluid communication with the named line is in its high-pressure phase.

A treatment device system includes a peritoneal dialysis 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 peritoneal dialysis solution by mixing purified water and at least one concentrate. The system also includes 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.

A peritoneal dialysis system includes first and second concentrate sources in selective fluid communication with a medical fluid pumping cassette, the first and second concentrate sources holding first and second peritoneal dialysis concentrates, respectively; a pump actuator configured to cause the medical fluid pumping cassette to pump the first and second concentrates; and a processor and memory configured to (i) determine a cumulative volume of at least one of the first or second peritoneal dialysis concentrates pumped from the medical fluid pumping cassette by the pump actuator, (ii) compare the cumulative volume to a threshold, and (iii) if the cumulative volume is outside of the threshold, modify a subsequent stroke volume of at least one of the first or second pump chambers actuated by the pump actuator in an attempt to cause an updated cumulative volume for the at least one peritoneal dialysis concentrate to be within the threshold.

A modular assembly for a portable hemodialysis system may include a dialysis unit, e.g., that contains suitable components for performing hemodialysis, such as a dialyzer, one or more pumps to circulate blood through the dialyzer, a source of dialysate, and one or more pumps to circulate the dialysate through the dialyzer, and a power unit having a housing that contains suitable components for providing operating power to the pumps of the dialysis unit. The power unit may be selectively connected to the dialysis unit and provide power (e.g., pneumatic power in the form of pressure and/or to vacuum) to the dialysis unit for the pumps when connected to the dialysis unit, but may be incapable of providing power to the dialysis unit when disconnected from the dialysis unit. The dialysis unit and the power unit are sized and weighted to each be carried by hand by a human.

A disposable connector for mating a dialysate source container to a dialysis machine comprises a body defining two ports and a collar disposed around one of said ports. The collar of said connector includes a stepped inner surface to seat a seal, a grip ring, and a retaining ring. The seal provides a fluid tight connection with a dialysate source container, whereas the grip ring is embedded in a stem of the dialysate source container so as to mate the connector to the container. The collar also has a series of windows and protrusions interspersed within the windows, which protrusions engage the retaining ring so as to secure the seal, the grip ring and the retaining ring on the stepped inner surface of the collar.

The present disclosure describes a kit for peritoneal dialysis that includes at least two bags. The kit also includes an overwrap for accommodating the at least two bags. At least one bag of the at least two bags forms at least a portion of the overwrap. According to the present disclosure, it is advantageously possible to reduce the material consumption of the overwrap, lower the cost of the kit, and reduce the amount of the disposable waste.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing liquid dialysis concentrate comprising a dialysis concentrate container for receiving the dialysis concentrate, wherein the dialysis concentrate container has an outflow and wherein the apparatus has a measurement device that is in fluid communication with the outflow and that is configured to determine the density or a property of the dialysis concentrate correlated with the density, with a shut-off element, in particular a valve, being arranged in the outflow by means of which the outflow can be selectively opened or closed.

The present invention refers to a container comprising a connection portion allowing for an easy, efficient and more hygienic connection of the container to a fluid dosing unit of a blood treatment device. According to the present invention the fluid dosing unit comprises a valve that fluidically closes the fluid dosing unit if no container is connected to the fluid dosing unit and that opens the fluid dosing unit upon connection of a container to the fluid dosing unit. Thus, undesired spillages potentially arising upon disconnection of the container from the fluid dosing unit can be avoided.
