A leak detector is provided that is incorporated into the wheels of a moveable medical device and/or cart or cabinet therefor. By incorporating a leak detector into the wheels themselves of the movable medical device, the leak detector, despite movement of the medical device, is suitably located to locate leaks with respect to the medical device at all times and requires no additional setup. The leak detector can further be tested by and interface with the moveable medical device to ensure the leak detector is in working condition and provide a convenient interface for a user. Additionally, by using this technology on each of the multiple wheels of a moveable medical device, the detectable area may be bigger than a leak detector at only one location.

An embodiment provides a method for treatment of the COVID-19 virus, including: preparing an intravenous infusion, wherein the intravenous infusion comprises at least one humanized monoclonal antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; introducing the intravenous infusion to a patient; forming a virion antibody complex, wherein the virion antibody comprises the at least one humanized monoclonal antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; and monitoring the virion antibody complex from a sample of a body fluid. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A dialysis system includes a dialysis apparatus, a measurement apparatus, and a control apparatus. The dialysis apparatus performs hemodialysis on a dialysis subject. The measurement apparatus measures a cerebral regional oxygen saturation of the dialysis subject. The control apparatus adjusts a hemodialysis operating condition by the dialysis apparatus so as to suppress decrease in the cerebral rSO2 based on the cerebral rSO2 of the dialysis subject measured by the measurement apparatus during operation of the hemodialysis by the dialysis apparatus.
