A method of recording a state of an apheresis machine or a dialysis machine having a disposable component disposed thereon. The disposable component has tubing and a blood component bag. The disposable component is configured to be installed on the apheresis device or dialysis machine by a human operator. The method includes acquiring with a camera an image of a forward-facing external surface portion of the apheresis machine or dialysis machine and the tubing and the blood component bag of the disposable component. The image is acquired automatically without requiring user input. The method includes recording medical device information for the apheresis machine or dialysis machine comprising the image. The method includes generating a message comprising the image and transmitting the message comprising the image to a remote computer.

Medical device with camera for imaging disposable

A system and method of recording a state of a medical device having a disposable component includes operating the medical device to provide a medical procedure using a disposable component. The disposable component is installed on an external surface of the medical device housing by a human operator and removable therefrom for disposal. The system and method include detecting an error condition on the medical device and, in response, acquiring an image from a camera coupled to the medical device. The image, representing the disposable component and the external housing, is stored in a memory of the medical device and is accessible for later retrieval.

Recording a state of a medical device

A system for providing remote updates on medical devices includes a wireless communication network, a wearable update output device comprising a wireless receiver in wireless communication with the wireless communication network, and a medical system comprising a medical device, an update generator, and a wireless transmitter. The update generator is configured to monitor a process carried out using the medical device, to generate one or more updates according to device states that occur during the process, and to route the updates to the wireless transmitter. The network is in wireless communication with the wireless transmitter, and is configured to route updates received from the wireless transmitter to the wireless receiver of the wearable update output device.

System and methods for remote updates on medical devices

A failsafe system for a medical fluid procedure, comprising a medical fluid processing apparatus comprising a sealer and a programmable controller driven by software, wherein the programmable controller is programmed to recognize a failure event from input from hardware components of the medical fluid processing apparatus. The system also comprises a disposable fluid circuit configured to associate with the medical fluid processing apparatus and comprising a tubing segment configured to fit within the sealer. The programmable controller is configured to seal the tubing segment by activating the sealer surrounding the tubing segment in response to an occurrence of the failure event.

Failsafe system and method for a medical fluid procedure

An adapter for making a fluid connection between first and second medical fluid flow components, where the first component includes a first male or female Luer connector of a first configuration, and the component includes a second male female Luer connector of a second configuration, that is not compatible with the first configuration, includes a fluid flow conduit with a first adapter connector at a first end of the conduit and a second adapter connector at a second end of the conduit. The conduit includes a fluid flow lumen extending between the first and second ends. The first adapter connector is a male or female Luer having a first configuration that is compatible with the first medical fluid flow component connector. The second adapter connector is a male or female Luer having a second configuration that is compatible with the second medical fluid flow component connector.

Adapter for medical connectors

A tube connector includes a flexible member that engages an inserted length of tubing. The flexible member is configured to adhere to the tubing in the presence of an applied solvent, thereby forming a hermetic seal.

Ensured component bonding

A method for manufacturing a plurality of filter assemblies is provided that includes providing first and second housing sheets and positioning a filtration medium therebetween. Heat and pressure are applied to form first, second, and peripheral seals of at least two filter assemblies at the same time. Each second seal is positioned outboard of the associated first seal with a non-seal area therebetween, while each peripheral seal is positioned outboard of the associated second seal. The first seal commingles the housing sheets and the filtration medium, while the peripheral seal and the periphery of the second seal commingle only the housing sheets. The peripheral seal may include a tear seal to enable separation of a plurality of adjacent filter assemblies.

Methods for making a plurality of filter assemblies

A pressure sensor has a housing, a movable member and a vision sensor. The housing has an aperture configured to receive a fluid. The movable member is disposed in the housing and configured to move in response to a pressure of the fluid. The vision sensor is configured to detect the movement of the movable member.
