A device for preparing adipose tissue for transplantation, from lobular fat extracted, for instance, by liposuction. The device comprises at least one washing and separating container () having a washing chamber () for washing the liposuctioned material, which washing and separating container () has at least one inlet () and at least one outlet () for the liposuctioned material to enter the washing chamber () through the inlet () and for at least part of said material, the fluid component, to exit said chamberthrough the outlet. The washing and separating container () is coupled to stirring means via coupling means () for releasably coupling said washing and separating container () to said stirring means, drive means being provided for driving said stirring means. The stirring means comprising a stirring member () supported by a support structure (), said washing and separating container () being releasably coupled to said stirring member () via said coupling means, and said stirring member () being driven by said drive means, emulsion generating means () being provided in said washing chamber (), for generating an emulsion of the fluid components by mechanical stirring.

Device and method for preparing adipose tissue for transplantation

A dialysis machine is provided with a dialysate circuit, a blood circuit and a filter having a dialysate compartment connected to the dialysate circuit, a blood compartment connected to the blood circuit, and a semi-permeable membrane to separate the dialysate compartment from the blood compartment. A method for filling and washing the filter includes the recirculation of a physiological saline in the dialysate circuit and the transfer of the physiological saline from the dialysate circuit to the blood circuit through the semi-permeable membrane.

Method for filling and washing a filter for a dialysis machine

A dialysis machine comprises: means for calculating () a filtration factor (FF) as a function of the ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and of a plasma flow rate (Q); first comparison means () for comparing the filtration factor (FF) with a limit value of admissibility; and signaling means () for generating a signal (A) indicating the result of the comparison.
