A lens element and a one-piece contact apparatus having a lens element and a holding device for fixing a patient's eye to a laser applicator of an ophthalmological laser therapy system and a corresponding production method. The production method is conceptually simple and user-friendly and allows a high degree of automation while at the same time meeting the high requirements for mechanical and optical precision of the lens element. The lens element has an optically effective zone and a joining zone. The joining zone also has a functional zone for joining the lens element to a holding device which is arranged continuously circumferentially or interrupted circumferentially at the outer edge of the lens element. The contact apparatus includes a lens element and a holding device, which are permanently connected to one another, wherein the lens element and the holding device are not connected to one another by adhesive-bonding.

Systems and methods for performing Direct Sodium Removal (DSR) therapy are provided in which an implantable device includes a pump coupled to an inlet catheter designed for placement in a patient's peritoneal cavity, an outlet catheter designed to be coupled to the patient's bladder, and is operably coupled to an analyte sensor, the pump programmed to transfer and/or cease transfer of fluid from the patient's peritoneal cavity to the patient's bladder for voiding responsive to a level of analyte detected by the analyte sensor. In addition, the system may include a processor that computes an amount of analyte transferred per pumping session.
