A peristaltic pump is disclosed having pump motor with a rotating motor shaft and a shaft axis; a peristaltic pump head rotatably mounted on the motor shaft; a raceway having a semi-circular track arranged around the pump head and coaxial with the shaft axis, wherein the track has a beveled edge at an entrance to the raceway to receive a tube loop being loaded into the pump; the pump head includes at least one roller orbiting the raceway and compressing the tube loop against said raceway, and a cartridge to which the tube loop is attached and mountable on the raceway.

Self-loading peristaltic pump for extracorporeal blood circuit

A weight scale including: a measuring electronic circuit including a filter; a load cell attachable to a support housing and generating a load signal processed by the filter of the electronic circuit; a spring coupled to the load cell to apply a force to the load cell, wherein the load signal is indicative of the force, and a scale beam connected to the spring and to the support housing, wherein a weight to be measured is attached to the scale beam and the force applied by the spring is indicative of the weight, and wherein natural frequencies of the weight and spring is higher than a cut-off frequency of the filter.

Noise reduction method and system for weight scale

A blood leak detector is disclosed having a light source projecting a beam along an optical path, wherein the beam has a wavelength in a range of about 800 to 930 nm; a light detector receiving the beam through an aperture having a diameter in a range of 30 to 60 thousands of an inch; and a housing to receive a tubular liquid passage between the light source and light detector, the housing having a slot transverse to the optical path to receive the tubular liquid passage and the slot has a width narrower than the tubular liquid passage when uncompressed.

Blood leak detector for extracorporeal treatment system

A weight scale for a extracorporeal pump controller including: a load cell mounted to a support housing; a spring coupled to the load cell to apply a force to the load cell; a scale beam connected to the spring and at a proximal end connected to the support housing, and an overload protection bore having an aperture through which extends said beam and said aperture having at least one edge in a path of said beam, wherein said edge terminates said path and the beam has maximum rated load position in the path before the edge.

Weight scale for fluid collection bag of extracorporeal circuit

A blood leak detector is disclosed having a light source projecting a beam along an optical path, wherein the beam has a wavelength in a range of about 800 nm to 930 nm; a light detector receiving the beam; a housing with a slot to receive a transparent tube between the light source and light detector and aligned with the optical path.
