A connector for connecting a container with a fluid preparation device for preparing a fluid, in particular a container with a concentrate for the preparation of dialysis fluid, as well as the combination of the connector, the corresponding container and the fluid preparation device. In order to simplify the handling during both the manufacturing process of such containers and the connection of such containers to the fluid preparation devices, the connector connects a first and second fluid line of the container with a third and fourth fluid line of the fluid preparation device with two laterally spaced-apart mounting elements which each incorporate one of two orifices terminating the first and second fluid lines.

Connector, container with such a connector and fluid preparation device with a mating connector for such a container

A container for use in dialysis, containing a certain amount of a salt concentrate in the form of a powder, granules or tablets or mixtures thereof, having an inlet for the water and an outlet that is connectable to a dialysis machine. Both the inlet and the outlet are situated on one side of the container, and each includes a filter therein to prevent any undissolved salt concentrate from leaving the container.

Container for use in dialysis

The invention relates to the field of connectors for connecting a container with a fluid preparation device for preparing a fluid, in particular a container with a concentrate for the preparation of dialysis fluid. In order to simplify the handling during both the manufacturing process of such containers and the connection of such containers to the fluid preparation devices, the invention proposes a design of a connector () for connecting a first and second fluid line of the container with a third and fourth fluid line of the fluid preparation device with two lateraly spaced-apart mounting means () which each incorporate one of two orifices () terminating the first and second fluid lines. The invention also concerns a corresponding container and fluid preparation device.
