A machine for extracorporeal blood treatment includes a user interface having a touch screen and a controller programmed to display on a screen () a display in which two distinct areas are arranged, one of which () exhibits a series of touch keys (), wherein activation of any one touch key () causes visualization of an image in a second area () of the screen, wherein the images are displayed alternatively and are at least partly different one from another, wherein each touch key () is associated to an instruction, or to a group of instructions, each concerned with readying the machine for use, wherein each image is a pictograph of a configuration of the machine, correlated with an instruction associated to the touch key () selected, and wherein the operator is aided in making the machine ready for treatment.

Extracorporeal blood treatment machine

A user interface for a machine for extracorporeal blood treatment comprises a touch screen and a controller programmed to display on a screen () a display in which two distinct areas are arranged, one of which () exhibits a series of touch keys (). Activation of any one touch key () causes visualization of an image in a second area () of the screen. The images are displayed alternatively and are at least partly different one from another. Each touch key () is associated to an instruction, or to a group of instructions, all concerned with readying the machine for use. Each image is a pictograph of a configuration of the machine, correlated with an instruction associated to the touch key () selected. The operator is aided in making the machine ready for treatment.

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 invention relates to a device for calculating blood flow and to an apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment provided with the device. The device includes a memory for receiving and storing either a first datum relating to a blood flow removed from the patient Q, or a second datum relating to a flow of liquid Qt crossing a tract of the extracorporeal circuit, and a third datum relating to a flow of infusion liquid Qflowing through the infusion line. The device also comprises a control unit able to calculate the first datum or the second datum as a function of the third datum relating to the flow of infusion liquid Q.

The joint () comprises a tubular body () having two connecting zones () each connected by an end to a tubular element () of a fluid transport line, giving continuity to passage of fluid. The tubular body is made of a mixture of an electrically-conductive material such as PVC, with carbon black to give it electrical conductivity. The joint has an internal surface () which is destined to come into contact with the transported fluid, and an external surface which is destined to have a grounded galvanic contact. The joint is inserted in the discharge fluid drainage line of a dialyzer filter, in an apparatus for intensive treatment of acute renal insufficiency, for eliminating ECG artefacts due to functioning of peristaltic pumps in the apparatus.

Joint for fluid transport lines for medical use

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.

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.

A non-invasive device for measuring blood temperature in a circuit for the extracorporeal circulation of blood includes a line in which blood taken from a patient flows. The device also includes a temperature sensor connected to the line and provided with a device for measuring the intensity of an electromagnetic radiation. The measuring device faces a connecting portion or window of the line that is permeable by electromagnetic radiation in a first wave band, and generates a first signal, correlated with the electromagnetic radiation in the first band and therefore with the temperature of the blood flowing in the line.

Integrated blood treatment module having a support element

The support device for bags, applicable in machines for extracorporeal blood treatment or in machines for renal failure treatment, comprises a base body () and a support element () associated to the base body in such a way as to be displaceable with respect to the base body between at least one operative loading position and an operative work position. In particular the support element is telescopically engaged to the base body and is slidable along a predetermined movement direction (). The special configuration of the support device enables an easy loading of the machine and a subsequent optimal control of the machine stability.
