A medical system, comprising: a medical machine; and a gateway device configured to communicate with the medical machine to allow access to a network, the gateway device comprising a data allowance and limitation unit that is configured to limit communication between the medical machine and the network when the data allowance and limitation unit is in an open state, wherein the data allowance and limitation unit is placed in the open state when a plannable system event occurs, and wherein, while in the open state, the data allowance and limitation unit is placed in a closed state when an unplanned event occurs, thereby providing less limited communication between the medical machine and the network compared to the open state.

Managing communications with a connected health system

A method and an apparatus are provided for the automatic, weight-dependent filling of a hose system, in particular for a gravimetric cycler for peritoneal dialysis, having only one scale. The hose system includes at least three line sections for connection to at least one drainage bag, to at least one solution bag and to a patient. The method includes opening at least one bag valve and at least drainage: valve, and deriving a first opening duration of the valves from a weight of the solution bag measured by means of the scale and from at least one characteristic.

Apparatus and method for the automatic, weight-dependent filling of a hose system

The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing a dialysis solution and preferably a peritoneal dialysis solution comprising a reception container that can accommodate a solution volume that is intended for at least two treatments, wherein the apparatus has a plurality of extraction ports for extracting the dialysis solution from the reception container.

Apparatus containing dialysis solution or dialysis solution concentrate

A dialysis machine, in particular a peritoneal dialysis machine, has a heating device for heating a container containing a dialysis solution, in particular a peritoneal dialysis solution. The heating device is configured such that the heating of the dialysis solution by the heating device takes place non-uniformly at points.

Dialysis machine and arrangement and method for heating a dialysis solution

The invention relates to a method of loading a medical device, in particular to a dialysis device, and preferably a peritoneal dialysis device, which comprises a device control and a user interface, wherein at least one fluid-filled container is connected to a corresponding interface of the device, wherein at least one property of the container is checked by the device before or during its connection and the measured value is compared with least one desired value stored in the device control.

Method of loading a medical device

The present invention relates to an apparatus for performing peritoneal dialysis, the apparatus comprising means for delivering dialysis fluid to the peritoneal cavity of a patient, a measurement device for measuring the fluid pressure of the delivered dialysis fluid and/or the fluid pressure in the peritoneal cavity, i.e. the intraperitoneal pressure and/or any pressure related thereto, and a control unit operably connected to said means and the measurement device, wherein the control unit is configured to effect an inflow or outflow phase encompassing a series of fill-and-measurement or drain-and-measurement steps, each step comprising delivering a predetermined quantity of dialysis fluid to the peritoneal cavity or draining a predetermined quantity of dialysis fluid from the peritoneal cavity and subsequently measuring and recording a pressure value.

Apparatus for performing peritoneal dialysis

The present invention relates to a peritoneal dialysis system comprising at least one peritoneal dialysis machine and at least one organization system that is configured to carry the peritoneal dialysis machine and/or one or more functional elements that are connected to the peritoneal dialysis machine or are connectable thereto, wherein the organization system can be folded for purposes of transport or storage and can be set up, starting from the folded state, into its functional state for the purpose of carrying out the peritoneal dialysis treatment, with the organization system having one or more carrier elements for carrying the peritoneal dialysis machine itself and/or the functional element or elements at least in its set up functional state.

Peritoneal dialysis system

A peritoneal dialysis machine having a machine housing and having a heating receiver as well as having a plurality of solution bags is provided. The peritoneal dialysis machine furthermore has a hose set which is connected to the solution bags, wherein the plurality of solution bags are arranged in the heating pan and wherein the hose set does not have any heating bag into which the liquid draining from the solution bags runs.

Peritoneal dialysis machine

A peritoneal dialysis machine carries out of a peritoneal dialysis treatment having recurring cycles, the recurring cycles involving an inflow phase, a dwell period and a drainage phase for a dialysis fluid, wherein the peritoneal dialysis machine has a control unit and a measurement apparatus for determining the inflow rate and/or drainage rate of the dialysis fluid to and from a patient, wherein the control unit is configured to carry out a comparison between a time progression curve of the inflow rate and/or of the drainage rate determined by the measurement apparatus during the inflow phase and/or the drainage phase and a corresponding reference curve and to recognize on the basis of the comparison a disturbance in inflow and/or drainage of the dialysis fluid to and from the patient.

A peritoneal dialysis machine has at least one mount for fixing one or more sections of a hose set for conducting a dialysis solution from and/or to a patient. A first pivot axle is provided about which the mount can be pivoted from a first position into a second position.

An apparatus for a tidal peritoneal dialysis treatment that includes a sequence of cycles each having a filling period, a dwell period, and a drain period, includes a cycler and a processor. The cycler fills a patient's abdominal cavity with a specific inflow volume of fresh dialysis solution up to a specific patient volume in the filling period, and empties consumed dialysis solution from the cavity up to a specific tidal outflow target in the drain period. The processor controls the cycler in an operating mode such that the drain period is ended before reaching the tidal outflow target, so that a permitted residual volume remains in the abdominal cavity. A switch is made to a filling period, with the filling period being carried out such that the filling volume of the patient lies at a permitted patient volume above the specific patient volume on completion of the filling period.
