It is described an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus () with a user interface () device capable configuring and allowing execution of one or more isolated ultrafiltration tasks during the course of a dialysis treatment. The extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus () is controlled in a normal mode, where dialysis fluid is fed to the blood treatment unit (), and in an isolated ultrafiltration mode, where fresh dialysis fluid is no longer fed to the blood treatment unit ().

Extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus and method of setting an extracorporeal blood treatment

A method for in-line preparation of liquid for an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus that makes provision for placing a filter in correspondence with each of two successive filtration stations, for carrying out a liquid preparation cycle, for removing the filter, which operates in correspondence with a first filtration station, for placing in correspondence with the first filtration station the filter that operated in correspondence with the second filtration station, for placing a new filter in correspondence with a second filtration station and for launching a new sterile liquid preparation cycle. The invention also provides a device for implementing the described method and an apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment, which incorporates this device.

Device for in-line preparation of liquid for an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus

A device and method for an extracorporeal blood treatment is described. The device comprising at least one exchanger equipped with at least one first inlet for the blood to be treated, a first fluid outlet and a second fluid outlet, an input line for blood to be treated connected to the first inlet of the exchanger, a blood output line (or venous line) connected to the first outlet of the exchanger, at least one treatment unit comprising at least one first fluid inlet and at least one first fluid outlet, the second outlet of the exchanger being in fluid communication with the first inlet of the treatment unit, where the first outlet from the treatment unit is in fluid communication with the input line and the second outlet of the treatment unit is in fluid communication with a first waste liquid discharge line.

Apparatus and process for extracorporeal treatment of blood with selective extraction of solutes

Method for in-line preparation of liquid for an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus

The invention proposes a device for measuring the pressure of blood in a pipe ( ) of an extracorporeal blood circuit ( ) includes a pressure measurement section ( ) having a substantially rigid wall ( ) including a hole ( ) which is sealed by a closure element ( ), the internal face ( ) of which is in contact with the blood and the external face ( ) of which is in contact with the ambient air, it being possible for the closure element ( ) to be elastically deformed overall along a deformation axis (A&mdash;A) under the effect of the blood pressure. The closure element ( ) is made in a single piece with the associated rigid wall ( ) of the pressure measurement section ( ).
