The present disclosure relates to a medical pump drive comprising a pump housing and a pump motor provided in the pump housing. The pump drive also includes a rechargeable voltage source for storing electrical energy, or a rechargeable battery, for a voltage supply of the pump motor and a magnetic section for magnetically coupling of further pump sections, and/or for magnetically driving of elements, in particular a magnetically driven pump rotor. The pump also includes an electronic controller. The disclosure further relates to a pump, an induction charging station, a tube set, and a blood treatment apparatus.

Medical pump drive, pump and medical treatment apparatus

The present invention relates to a flow sensor for measuring a flow difference having at least two measurement chambers through which fluid is conductible; at least one means for producing a magnetic field for charge separation in a fluid flowing through the at least two measurement chambers; and at least one means for measuring an electric potential in the fluid flowing through the at least two measurement chambers, with the at least two measurement chambers being arranged such that they are run through by the same magnetic field line of the magnetic field for charge separation.

Flow sensor and method of measuring a flow

Dialyzer systems can consolidate multiple technologies and functionalities of blood treatment systems in a significantly integrated fashion. For example, this disclosure describes dialyzer systems that include a magnetically driven and magnetically levitating pump rotor integrated into the dialyzer. Such a dialyzer can be used with treatment modules that include a magnetic field-generating pump drive unit. In some embodiments, the dialyzers include pressure sensor chambers with flexible membranes with which corresponding pressure transducers of the treatment modules can interface to detect arterial and/or venous pressures.

Blood treatment systems

A filter module provides biotechnological filtration possibilities lessening the danger of contamination while achieving an optimum flow profile. The filter moduleincludes filter housinga filter with a bundle of hollow fibresand a centrifugal pump rotorThe filter is arranged in the filter housingsuch that the centrifugal pump rotorforces a biotechnological liquid into the interior of the hollow fibresvia an inlet flow path where liquid enters the filter module perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the filter, flows into a hollow centre of the centrifugal pump rotor and is thereafter deflected to flow parallel to the longitudinal axis of the filter before entering the hollow fibers of the filter flowing parallel to the longitudinal axis.
