The present invention relates to an insert piece for a blood tubing set that includes a first connection site for connecting a first tubing portion of the blood tubing set to the insert piece; a second connection site for connecting a second tubing portion of the blood tubing set to the insert piece; a third connection site for connecting a third tubing portion of the blood tubing set to the insert piece; a first main line for conducting a first liquid through the insert piece; a second main line for conducting the first liquid through the insert piece; a secondary line for conducting a second liquid into at least one of the first main line, and the second main line; and a connection portion which connects both main lines to each other or to the second connection site.

Another insert piece for a blood tubing set to promote mixing an infusion solution with a further fluid

Dialyzer systems can consolidate multiple technologies and functionalities of blood treatment systems in a significantly integrated fashion. For example, this disclosure describes dialyzer systems that include a magnetically driven and magnetically levitating pump rotor integrated into the dialyzer. Such a dialyzer can be used with treatment modules that include a magnetic field-generating pump drive unit. In some embodiments, the dialyzers include pressure sensor chambers with flexible membranes with which corresponding pressure transducers of the treatment modules can interface to detect arterial and/or venous pressures.

Blood treatment systems

A tube connection part adapted to accommodate a flexible tube made from a material comprising polyvinyl chloride, wherein said tube connection part comprises a sleeve adapted to form an overlapping region between said tube connection part and said tube, wherein an adhesion promoting agent is deposited on at least a subsection of a surface of said sleeve, characterized in that the adhesion promoting agent comprises a styrene-butadiene block copolymer.

Tube connection

A disposable connector suitable for engagement on a substitution port of a hemofiltration machine includes a main body defining a duct, and a pliable element that engages an end of the main body. The pliable element includes a membrane occluding the duct and performing a valve function, and a seal portion radially expanding outward of the duct.

Disposable connector for hemofiltration

The present invention relates to a double connector for a tubular insert intended to connect an extra-corporeal circuit to a peristaltic pump. The double connector comprises: a first channel with an axis a, a second channel with an axis anot parallel to a, a pressure chamber arranged along the first channel and suitable for co-operation with a pressure sensor. The pressure chamber is closed, on the opposite side with respect to the second channel, by a membrane which extends mainly in a plane &#x3c0; substantially parallel to both the axes aand a. Moreover, a straight line r, passing through both axes aand aand perpendicular thereto, crosses the membrane. The invention also relates to a tubular insert comprising the double connector and an extra-corporeal circuit comprising the tubular insert.

Tube for extra-corporeal circuit with double connector

A chamber is provided for a blood treatment system and has at least one space defined by a chamber wall, at least one blood inlet, and at least one inlet for a further fluid, which are connected with the space. Both the at least one blood inlet and the at least one inlet for the further fluid are formed on tube sections that protrude into the space of the chamber. In the operating condition of the chamber the space of the chamber is at least partly filled with blood or with a mixture of blood and either the further fluid or some other fluid. At least one, or preferably both, of the tube sections have a length such that the blood inlet and/or the inlet for the further fluid are located below the blood or fluid level in the chamber.

Chamber for blood treatment system and method using same

A device to promote heat exchange to/from a medical liquid includes an inlet, an outlet, and a duct adapted to contain a flow of the medical liquid. The duct is enclosed between two walls, has a planar development defining a mean plane &#x3c0;, and has means for promoting turbulence in the flow of the medical liquid. At least one wall of the duct is suitable to allow a heat exchange with the flow of the medical liquid. The means for promoting turbulence has a plurality of fins, and each fin has a lenticular cross section and defines its own mean plane &#x3c4;substantially perpendicular to plane &#x3c0;. A disposable cassette for use in a PD/APD treatment has a polymeric structure defining a first part, suitable for pumping and distributing the medical liquid, and a second part having the device to promote heat exchange.

Heat exchange device

The present invention relates to a chamber for a blood treatment system with at least one space defined by a chamber wall and with at least one blood inlet and with at least one inlet for a further fluid, which are connected with the space, wherein both the at least one blood inlet and the at least one inlet for the further fluid are formed on tube sections which protrude into the space of the chamber, wherein in the operating condition of the chamber the space of the chamber is at least partly filled with blood or with a mixture of blood and the further fluid or some other fluid and wherein at least one, preferably both or a plurality of the tube sections have a length such that the blood inlet and/or the inlet for the further fluid are located below the blood or fluid level in the chamber.

Chamber for blood treatment system, use of the chamber, blood tubing system and blood treatment system

The present invention relates to an organizer for releasably accommodating components of blood tube sets for different extracorporeal blood treatment options, in particular for dialysis methods, by means of a blood treatment apparatus, as well as methods for manufacturing and preparing an organizer of the invention.

Organizer for releasably accommodating components of blood tube sets, and methods for manufacturing and preparing it

A tubing set suitable for use in co-operation with a hemodialysis machine includes an out-tube for supplying the blood from the patient to a filter of the machine, an in-tube for supplying the blood from the filter back to the patient, a drip chamber placed along one of the tubes, adapted to let the blood drip through an air buffer, and a vial gate for the connection of vials containing drugs to be delivered into the blood. The vial gate includes a delivery lumen, suitable for delivering the drug from the vial to the drip chamber, and a vent lumen, suitable for providing air inside the vial in order to replace the delivered drug.

Tubing set having a gate for the connection of vials

A membrane for a pressure dome is configured to cooperate with a pressure sensor, and includes a resilient circular wall and a circular rim. The resilient circular wall is configured to close one side of the pressure dome so as to define a partition between the inside of the pressure dome and the outside. The circular rim is configured to be housed in a main body of the pressure dome. The membrane is configured such that the resilient circular wall, when there is no difference between the pressures acting respectively on the inner surface and on the outer surface, has an outwardly convex form.

Membrane for a pressure dome

A disposable connector suitable for engagement on the substitution port of a hemofiltration machine includes a rigid main body defining a duct, and a soft element fitted on an end of the main body. The soft element includes a membrane occluding the duct and performing a valve function, and a seal portion radially expanding outward of the duct.

A roller pump includes a stator with a pump bed formed therein, and a rotor for acting on a hose inserted into the pump bed in arcuate form. The ends of the hose are guided out of the pump bed in a crossed configuration.
