A system for performing extracorporeal blood treatment of recovered blood can include a reservoir to receive a first portion of the recovered blood from a subject, an inline pump coupled the reservoir to regulate a flow rate of at least the first portion of the recovered blood, and an extracorporeal blood conditioner including at least one of an oxygenator to reoxygenate hemoglobin included in the recovered blood for at least intravenous delivery back to the subject or a temperature regulator configured to selectively control a temperature of the recovered blood.

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to certain types of reciprocating positive-displacement pumps (which may be referred to hereinafter as pods, pump pods, or pod pumps) used to pump fluids, such as a biological fluid (e.g., blood or peritoneal fluid), a therapeutic fluid (e.g., a medication solution), or a surfactant fluid. The pumps may be configured specifically to impart low shear forces and low turbulence on the fluid as the fluid is pumped from an inlet to an outlet. Such pumps may be particularly useful in pumping fluids that may be damaged by such shear forces (e.g., blood, and particularly heated blood, which is prone to hemolysis) or turbulence (e.g., surfectants or other fluids that may foam or otherwise be damaged or become unstable in the presence of turbulence).

Disclosed are hemodialysis and similar dialysis systems including fluid flow circuits. Hemodialysis systems may include a blood flow path, and a dialysate flow path including balancing, mixing, and/or a directing circuits. Preparation of dialysate may be decoupled from patient dialysis. Circuits may be defined within one or more cassettes. The fluid circuit and/or the various fluid flow paths may be isolated from electrical components. A gas supply may be provided that, when activated, is able to urge dialysate through the dialyzer and blood back to the patient. Such a system may be useful during a power failure. The hemodialysis system may also include fluid handling devices, such as pumps, valves, mixers, etc., actuated using a control fluid. The control fluid may be delivered to the fluid handling devices using a detachable external pump. The fluid handling devices may have a spheroid shape with a diaphragm dividing it into two compartments.

The present disclosure relates to a medical condensate trap for use in external blood treatment by means of a blood treatment apparatus. The condensate trap comprises an interior; a first connection for connecting the interior in fluid communication to a gas outlet of the blood treatment apparatus; a second connection for connecting the interior in fluid communication to a gas inlet of the blood treatment apparatus; and a third connection for connecting the interior to an air port of a blood treatment device. The blood treatment device may be, for example, a blood tubing set or a blood cassette.

A medicament preparation system includes a water purification module and a medicament proportioning module that is interoperable with a replaceable fluid circuit. The fluid circuit includes a purified water inlet, a product medicament outlet, and a plurality of pumping tube segments. At least a first concentrate container is connected by at least a portion of the fluid circuit to the product medicament output and a first concentration measurement sensor station is positioned in a flow path. A controller is programmed to calculate iteratively a concentration of a first concentrate from the first concentrate container and the purified water from a signal generated by the first concentration measurement sensor station and to regulate one or both of a first pumping actuator engaged with the first pumping tube segment and a second pumping actuator engaged with the second pumping tube segment, responsively to the concentration of the first concentrate and water.

Graphical user interfaces for use with extracorporeal blood treatment systems may include a plurality of displayable settings cards. The plurality of setting cards may be grouped or arranged into a card set and a plurality of card subsets. Each of the card set and the plurality of card subsets may be displayable as a stack of settings cards with at least one settings card presented at the forefront of the stack to a user. Further, each settings card of the plurality of settings cards may also be displayed by itself.

Filtering device for filtering cerebrospinal fluid are disclosed. An example filtering device may include a filter housing having an inlet for receiving cerebrospinal fluid from a patient and an outlet for returning filtered cerebrospinal fluid to the patient. The filter housing may include a plurality of layers coupled together and defining a fluid pathway therein between the inlet and the outlet. A filtering section may be defined within the filter housing along the fluid pathway. The filtering section may include a widened region of the fluid pathway that is configured to slow the passage of fluid therethrough.
