The invention relates to a dialysis treatment unit in which the connecting line to the central concentrate supply is also rinsed in the rinsing or cleaning process in order to prevent deposits therein.

Dialysis machine and cleaning method for the dialysis machine

This disclosure relates to a method for temporarily interrupting an extracorporeal treatment of blood of a patient by use of a blood treatment apparatus. The method comprises activating or controlling a control device provided and configured to bring the blood treatment apparatus into a state in which the blood treatment of the patient can be interrupted with the intention to continue the blood treatment. This disclosure further relates to a control device, a blood treatment apparatus, a digital storage means, a computer program product as well as a computer program.

Method for temporarily interrupting an extracorporeal blood treatment, control device and blood treatment apparatus

The invention relates to an apparatus for carrying out an extracorporeal blood treatment in which a substitution fluid is administered to the patient, wherein the apparatus comprises an extracorporeal blood circuit and a substitution line opening into the extracorporeal blood circuit, wherein the substitution line has at least one heating container, and wherein a pump is arranged in the substitution line downstream of the heating container or containers for the conveying of substitution fluid into the extracorporeal blood circuit.

Apparatus for carrying out an extracorporeal blood treatment

A medical device includes: at least one input device; at least one output device; at least one operating component; and a control unit. The control unit has data access to at least one file pertaining to the medical device, wherein text passages or graphics of the at least one file pertaining to an operating component are selectable. The control unit is configured to, after selection of a text passage or a graphic, cause at least one operating parameter of the operating component and/or at least one output variable that is created by the operating component to be read out as output, and/or facilitate input of an adjustable operating parameter for the operating component.

Blood treatment device

A method for temporarily interrupting an extracorporeal treatment of blood of a patient by use of a blood treatment apparatus includes activating or controlling a control device which is provided and configured to bring the blood treatment apparatus into a state in which the blood treatment session of the patient can be interrupted with the intention to continue the blood treatment session. The present invention further provides a control device, a blood treatment apparatus, a digital storage means, a computer program product as well as a computer program.

A method and device for controlling an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, which can be operated as a hemodialysis apparatus, hemofiltration apparatus or hemodiafiltration apparatus, are disclosed. The method and device make provision, apart from balancing the fluids as a function of the weights of the containers, for the measurement of the weight reduction or increase of at least one of the containers in the time interval in which the pump assigned to the respective container performs a preset number of revolutions or pump strokes. The change in the weight of the container for a half or one pump revolution can be determined. The delivery rate of the respective pump is ascertained from the measured weight reduction or increase in the specific time interval, thereby permitting the precise determination of the actual delivery rate of one or more pumps. The actual delivery rates of all the pumps are preferably monitored.

Method and device for controlling an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus

An apparatus for the filling of a medical filter has at least one first space and one second space which are semipermeably separated by one or more membranes, with the spaces each having at least one inflow and outflow. The apparatus includes a detection unit having a first element and a second element, with a liquid discharge from at least one of the first and second spaces being detectable by the first element, and the state of the filling of the filter being determinable by the second element with reference to the detected liquid discharge. A method of filling a medical filter employs the apparatus.

Device for filling a filter, and method therefor

A method is provided for monitoring the introduction of substitution fluids for an extra-corporeal blood processing device with an extra-corporeal blood circuit, comprising an arterial blood line, running from an arterial patient connection to a first chamber of a dialyzer or filter divided into said first chamber and a second chamber by a membrane and a venous blood line, running from the first chamber of the dialyzer or filter to a venous patient connection. A device is provided for monitoring the introduction of substitution fluids for an extra-corporeal blood processing unit with an extra-corporeal blood circuit and an extra-corporeal blood processing device with a device for monitoring the introduction of substitution fluids. The method and the device for monitoring the introduction of substitution fluids are based on monitoring the fluid level in the bubble trap, arranged in the venous blood line of the extra-corporeal blood circuit. The method and the device require that fluid is added to fill the extra-corporeal blood circuit, for example, for a rinsing procedure of the extra-corporeal blood circuit by means of the substitution fluid supply line arranged upstream or downstream of the dialyzer. A pre-dilution can be commanded when, after initiating the rinsing process the fill level in the bubble trap does not drop below a certain level. When by contrast the fill level drops below a given level a post-dilution can be commanded.
