The invention relates to an integrated blood treatment module () comprising a support element () and a fluid distribution circuitry associated thereto; the distribution circuitry comprises at least a blood line (), a portion of which is secured to the support element and defines with the latter at least a U-shaped tube length () designed to cooperate, when in use, with a respective pump (). There are then further fluid lines () fastened to the support element and defining each at least a U-shaped tube length () with respect to said element and each designed to cooperate, when in use, with a respective pump (). The support element has a first zone () in which the portion of the blood line is secured, and at least a second zone () opposite said first zone, to which all the corresponding further tube lengths are fastened.

Integrated blood treatment module and extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus

The support element () is provided with a plurality of connectors (), (), () which receive corresponding counter-connectors of a blood treatment device. The support element is also predisposed to include a fluid distribution circuitry cooperating with the blood treatment device in order to provide an integrated module for blood treatment. An assembly process of the integrated module for blood treatment is also described.

Integrated module for blood treatment

The invention relates to an extracorporeal blood treatment machine in which a blood circuit () is equipped with an inlet line leading to a filtration unit () and with an outlet line () from the filtration unit; a fluid circuit comprises an inlet line () leading to the filtration unit and an outlet line () from the filtration unit so as to allow a fluid taken from a primary container () to circulate within the filtration unit, thus enabling the treatment of the patient's blood. There is further an infusion line () acting on the outlet line of the blood circuit, which is supplied by an auxiliary fluid container (). The inlet line of the fluid circuit is equipped with at least an infusion branch () acting on the outlet line of the blood circuit so as to enable the intensive therapy machine to manage therapies with large exchange of fluids.

Extracorporeal blood treatment machine

The invention relates to support element () comprising a main body () having a front wall () and a peripheral wall () projecting away from the front wall. The front wall and the peripheral wall define a housing compartment () designed to receive a fluid distribution circuitry cooperating with a treatment unit for defining an integrated blood treatment module.

Support element for an integrated blood treatment module, integrated blood treatment module and extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus equipped with said integrated module

An integrated module for extracorporeal blood treatment has a flat-shaped support element which exhibits on an internal face thereof a complex of fluid distribution lines and on an external face thereof a high-flow dialyzer. The support element has a base body which exhibits fixture seatings, each of which houses an axially extended tract of a fluid distribution line. The tract of the fluid distribution line, with respect to adjacent tracts, has an increased diameter due to the presence of a junction collar made of a rigid material. Each fixture seating exhibits two axial locators for positioning the axially extended tract of a fluid distribution line in a fixed position. The locators interact with the junction collar, and the distribution lines can be fixed to the base body by a resilient fixture of the junction collars in the seatings without gluing. The module is configured to be mounted on an apparatus for intensive treatment of renal insufficiency.
