This disclosure relates to a medical device including a hard part and a converter. The hard part has fluid paths for conducting a medical fluid through the hard part. The converter is arranged to measure a characteristic of the medical fluid while the medical fluid is present in one of the fluid paths. At least a section of the converter is applied or superimposed to the hard part by at least one additive application method.

The availability of a heart-lung machine in a box provides an opportunity for saving lives in emergency situations arising outside a hospital and for more cost effective care in hospital settings.

A medical treatment device is configured to be used during a treatment session at a first location and includes a medical treatment component configured to perform at least one of hemodialysis, hemofiltration, and peritoneal dialysis on a patient during the treatment session at the first location. The device also includes a monitoring system configured to receive data from one or more sensors connected to the monitoring system, and to confirm a presence of an authorized helper at the first location. A user interface permits an operator to control functions of the medical treatment component and the monitoring system is configured to perform the presence confirmation automatically and at the predefined time intervals during the treatment session. The monitoring system is also configured to generate an alarm and to cause the medical treatment component to go into a failsafe operational mode.

The invention relates to a system for carrying out dialysis treatment with a dialysis machine, a control unit and a sensor, the sensor being signal-connected to the control unit, and the control unit being designed to measure a patient's blood sugar level or interstitial glucose value during dialysis treatment using the sensor, to record a curve over time of the blood sugar level or interstitial glucose values on the basis of the measured values, and to adapt one or more treatment parameters of the dialysis machine automatically taking the curve into account, or to output an instruction for adaptation of a treatment parameter by a user or for another action by a user.

A medical device is configured to be attached to a part of a circulation circuit of an extracorporeal circulation device and to be inserted with an insertion member for performing a test related to blood clotting, and includes a storage portion configured to store a blood, and a main body portion configured to drop the blood stored in the storage portion onto the insertion member. The stored blood is used as samples for testing and monitoring of blood conditions (e.g., clotting) during extracorporeal circulation.

This disclosure relates to symmetric tubing clamps for blood treatment systems and related systems and methods. In some aspects, a tubing clamp includes a resilient body that has symmetry with respect to a first plane with a normal along a longitudinal axis of the resilient body, the resilient body comprising a sidewall defining an opening such that a tubing is arrangeable through the opening along the longitudinal axis of the resilient body; first and second snap-fit features configured to engage with each other when the resilient body is compressed along a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis; and a protrusion configured to constrict the tubing when the resilient body is compressed along the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis.

A frangible connector has a first side that forms a female luer when a second side is fractured at a predefined break line. The second side may be connected to a fluid circuit, for example, a source of medical treatment fluid such as dialysate.
