A device for preparing adipose tissue for transplantation, from lobular fat extracted, for instance, by liposuction. The device comprises at least one washing and separating container () having a washing chamber () for washing the liposuctioned material, which washing and separating container () has at least one inlet () and at least one outlet () for the liposuctioned material to enter the washing chamber () through the inlet () and for at least part of said material, the fluid component, to exit said chamberthrough the outlet. The washing and separating container () is coupled to stirring means via coupling means () for releasably coupling said washing and separating container () to said stirring means, drive means being provided for driving said stirring means. The stirring means comprising a stirring member () supported by a support structure (), said washing and separating container () being releasably coupled to said stirring member () via said coupling means, and said stirring member () being driven by said drive means, emulsion generating means () being provided in said washing chamber (), for generating an emulsion of the fluid components by mechanical stirring.

A dialysis machine comprises: means for calculating () a filtration factor (FF) as a function of the ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and of a plasma flow rate (Q); first comparison means () for comparing the filtration factor (FF) with a limit value of admissibility; and signaling means () for generating a signal (A) indicating the result of the comparison.

Dialysis machine and method of controlling it

A method for the non-intrusive measurement of blood pressure in a circuit of a dialysis machine, using a device provided with a sleeve forming a portion of the blood circuit and having at least one part which moves according to the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the sleeve, and with an emitter and a receiver of electromagnetic waves. The method comprising the emission of a beam of electromagnetic waves and the receiving of a beam of electromagnetic waves reflected from the moving part, in order to measure the displacement of the moving part in such a way as to establish a relationship between the position of the moving part and the pressure of the blood circulating in the sleeve.

Method and a device for preparing a medical liquid

A method is described for determining recirculation of blood in a vascular access of a patient undergoing dialysis treatment using a dialysis machine with an arterial line for withdrawing blood from the patient's body, a dialysis filter, and a venous line for returning blood to the patient's body. The method induces a disturbance in the blood flowing in the venous line. The disturbance is of a magnitude capable of bringing the system into a transient state and determining blood recirculation in the vascular access during the transient state as a function of the magnitude of the disturbance induced in the arterial line. In particular, the disturbance relates to the variation of the hemoglobin concentration in the blood flowing in the venous line. The variation is caused by controlling a change in the ultrafiltration flow in the dialysis filter.

A method for extracorporeal treatment of blood includes preparing a treatment liquid from a liquid and two concentrated solutions by circulating the liquid in a preparation conduit at a flowrate Q ; injecting a first concentrated solution containing at least a first ionic substance A and a second ionic substance B into the preparation conduit at a flowrate Q ; and injecting a second concentrated solution containing at least the first ionic substance A into the preparation conduit at a flowrate Q . The ionic substance B may have a first concentration in the first concentrated solution and a second concentration, different from the first concentration, in the second concentrated solution. The method may also include regulating the injection flowrates Q and Q in such a way that at any given time the diluted solution resulting from the mixing of the liquid and the concentrated solutions has a desired concentration of the first ionic substance A and a desired concentration of the second ionic substance B. The method may further include supplying the treatment liquid to an inlet of a membrane exchanger; removing a spent liquid from an outlet of the membrane exchanger; measuring the concentration of the second ionic substance in the treatment liquid; and measuring the concentration of the second ionic substance in the spent liquid. The injection flowrates Q and Q may be regulated on the basis of the concentrations of the second ionic substance measured in the treatment liquid and in the spent liquid.

Method and device for preparing a medical fluid

A method for continuously determining a parameter (D, Cbin, K, Kt/V) indicative of an extracorporeal blood treatment includes flowing patient's blood and a treatment liquid flow on opposite sides of a semipermeable membrane. The treatment liquid has a characteristic (Cd) associated with the effectiveness of the treatment flow through the exchanger. A succession of variations are caused in the characteristic (Cd) upstream of the exchanger, and a plurality of values (Cdin1 . . . Cdinj . . . Cdinp) of the characteristic (Cd) upstream of the exchanger are continuously stored in memory. Similarly, plurality of values (Cdout1 . . . Cdoutj . . . Cdoutp) adopted by the characteristic (Cd) downstream of the exchanger are continuously stored in memory. From the stored values, the effectiveness of the treatment is calculated using a mathematical model.
