Systems relate to a reusable console system that can be used with a plurality of different types of disposable cassettes. The cassettes may be structured for different therapies, different fluid volumes, among others, or a combination thereof. The disposable cassette may include a plurality of fluid circuits. Each circuit may include a pump chamber disposed along the path. The disposable cassette and the panel of a console may be configured to mate so that each of the one or more actuators of the console align with a pump chamber of the disposable cassette. The console may be configured to control a flow of the fluid in the path in the cassette when the disposable cassette is mated on the panel. Because the console can be mated with different cassettes, the system can efficiently and accurately deliver different medical fluid therapies and/or different patient populations (e.g., pediatric and adult).

Medical fluid cassettes and related systems

The devices and systems are medical fluid treatment therapies. The device and systems are configured and capable of operating based on small volumes of fluids. The devices and systems include a pump configured for small volume of a fluid. The pump may include a first conduit configured for inflow of the fluid; a second conduit configured for outflow of the fluid; a fluid chamber configured to move the fluid through the pump; a diaphragm configured to force the fluid through the fluid chamber by indirectly exerting force on the fluid chamber; and a connector configured to removably attach the pump to a motor.

Devices and systems for medical fluid treatment

A novel system and method for fluid management for accurate continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CWH) in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The fluid management or CWH system is automated and configured for operation as a stand alone unit and can be easily integrated with an ECMO system. The fluid management system is capable of producing either perfect or negative fluid balance between ultrafiltrate removal and replacement fluid delivery. The fluid management system can achieve electrolyte replacement over a range of flow rates needed to care for patients ranging from neonates to adults. Finally, the novel fluid management system preserves patient safety, maintains sterility during operation, is easy to operate, and is compact enough to fit near a patient's bed.
