Extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus and methods including a main treatment unit and an auxiliary treatment unit, along with one or more sensors for determining a parameter related to a pressure drop across the auxiliary treatment unit, and a control unit configured to control a flow regulator at least based on the parameter value.

Apparatus and method for the treatment of blood with selective extraction of solutes

Connector for a fluid transport line of a medical device, comprising: a first body having a first access port for a fluid, a second access port for a fluid, and a first fluid path extending in the first body and directly connecting, for fluid transport, the first access port and second access port, at least a second body, mountable to the first body, having at least a third access port for a fluid, the second body being movable with respect to the first body at least between: a main operating position in which the first fluid path is interrupted and in which a second fluid path is defined and enabled, for fluid transport, from the first access port to the third access port, and an auxiliary operating position in which the first fluid path is enabled and in which the second fluid path is interrupted. The second body has at least a fourth access port for a fluid and in the main operating position a third fluid path is defined and enabled, for fluid transport, from the second access port to the fourth access port, the third fluid path being interrupted in the auxiliary operating position.

A blood treatment system is primed with a replacement liquid that flows directly into the access line of the blood circuit. The replacement liquid may be replacement fluid or blood stored in the replacement bag or the pre-blood pump (PBP) bag. These replacement liquids from the replacement and PBP bags are also used during blood treatment. These replacement liquids are blood or a replacement fluid and, particularly, have electrolyte levels the same as or similar to the electrolyte levels in the vascular blood of the patient.

Method and system for providing priming and restitution liquids for an extracorporeal blood treatment

A description is given of a gas separation device for a physiological fluid, comprising a containing body () having at least a first inlet aperture () for a physiological fluid, positioned with a tangential direction of access, at least one outlet aperture () for the said fluid, spaced apart from the said inlet aperture, and a guide element () housed within the said body. The guide element () has a continuous active surface () designed to contact and guide the said fluid and delimits, together with the containing body (), a first annular chamber () into which the first inlet aperture () opens directly.
