A method and apparatus for priming an extracorporeal blood system. The extracorporeal blood system includes an arterial blood line, a venous blood line, a pump segment for interaction with a peristaltic blood pump of the apparatus and a blood treatment unit. A port of the venous blood line is connected to a venous blood port of the blood treatment unit. A port of the arterial blood line is connected to an arterial blood port of the blood treatment unit. The extracorporeal blood system is connected to a reservoir containing priming liquid. The non-occluded extracorporeal blood system is subsequently filled with priming liquid and, after filling with priming liquid, the pump segment is automatically occluded by a blood pump.

Method for automated priming of an extracorporeal blood conduit system, and a device for same

A display device for a medical apparatus including a projection surface arranged on the medical apparatus and configured to present a predetermined display content in a way visible to a user of the medical apparatus, and a projection device arranged on the medical apparatus and configured to project the predetermined display content from a rear side of the projection surface onto the projection surface. The projection surface and the projection device are configured as a head-up display unit for visual field presentation of the display content, and the medical apparatus may be an apparatus for carrying out extracorporeal blood treatment including the display device.

Display device for medical apparatus

An apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment comprising a control unit and a display device, wherein the apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment is equipped with a person locating and identifying device and the person locating and identifying device and the display device are in contact of information exchange with each other via the control unit and the person locating and identifying device is adapted to obtain and to process information about the position of a person being located in the environment of the apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment, and the display device is adapted to display on a display information in response to the position of the person so that it is visible from the position of the person.

Apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment comprising all-round display

A coupling for fluid-tight connection of two fluid-guiding portions in medical applications. The coupling is an axially lockable quick-connect coupling and comprises a male coupling portion having a continuous first passage and a female coupling portion adapted to be slipped over the male coupling portion and having a continuous second passage. A preferably circumferential radial sealing is provided on the outer periphery of the male coupling portion and/or on the inner periphery of the female coupling portion.
