The present invention provides an extracorporeal dialysis apparatus which allows the automation of some operations in order to make possible a safe home treatment or to facilitate the treatment process for example the priming and/or the blood return process. Thus, the object is to automatically perform a series of processes from hemodialysis preparation to treatment completion safely, reliably and speedily, and to significantly reduce the labor and supply costs.

Automated extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus

A dialysis system may include a blood circuit, a cassette, a subsystem having a processor, a sensor, and a blood pumping mechanism, a housing in which the subsystem is arranged, a movable support arranged in the housing and configured to hold the sensor and/or the blood pumping mechanism of the subsystem, a cassette holder configured to removably receive the cassette, and a loading system. The loading system may be configured to move the movable support, e.g. by an axial movement, to a first position and to a second position relatively to the housing while the cassette holder is fixedly arranged in the housing. The loading system may have an electric motor controlled by the processor, a drive assembly coupled to the electric motor, and a guiding assembly configured to cooperate with the drive assembly.

Easily movable blood purification systems

The present invention concerns a medical pump comprising: a. A hard housing comprising a top () and bottom () hard shells, within which a rigid wall () and a movable membrane () create three distinct chambers; wherein i. said movable membrane tightly separates said second () and third () chambers ii. said first and third chambers have a watertight interface iii. said second chamber () is designed to contain a fluid iv. said first chamber () comprises a first venting mean () which is arranged to provide a fluidic communication between said first chamber () and the external environment; v. said third chamber () comprises a second venting mean which is arranged to provide a fluidic communication between said third chamber () and the external environment b. A pumping element () located in the first chamber () c. A least one pressure sensor which measure the pressure gradient between the first chamber () and the second chamber () d. A fluid pathway which permits: i. a first fluid connection () between said second chamber () and said pumping element ii. a second fluid connection () between said pumping element and a patient line ().
