This disclosure relates to a method for temporarily interrupting an extracorporeal treatment of blood of a patient by use of a blood treatment apparatus. The method comprises activating or controlling a control device provided and configured to bring the blood treatment apparatus into a state in which the blood treatment of the patient can be interrupted with the intention to continue the blood treatment. This disclosure further relates to a control device, a blood treatment apparatus, a digital storage means, a computer program product as well as a computer program.

Method for temporarily interrupting an extracorporeal blood treatment, control device and blood treatment apparatus

The present invention relates to a method of adapting of a second threshold window of at least a second measured variable depending on the change of a first threshold window of a first measured variable, wherein the adaptation is performed by the use of a control unit having been provided and/or configured therefor. The present invention further relates to a control device, a medical treatment apparatus, a medical monitoring apparatus, a digital storage means, a computer program product and a computer program.

Blood treatment device

A method for temporarily interrupting an extracorporeal treatment of blood of a patient by use of a blood treatment apparatus includes activating or controlling a control device which is provided and configured to bring the blood treatment apparatus into a state in which the blood treatment session of the patient can be interrupted with the intention to continue the blood treatment session. The present invention further provides a control device, a blood treatment apparatus, a digital storage means, a computer program product as well as a computer program.

The present invention relates to a method for priming a line for adding a medical solution, the line branching off a return line of an extracorporeal blood circuit, in particular a calcium line, a control device for controlling or regulating the method according to the present invention and a blood or plasma treatment apparatus with at least the control device according to the present invention. It further relates to a digital storage medium, a computer program product as well as a computer program.

Method as well as apparatuses for retrograde filling of at least one calcium line of an extracorporeal blood circuit

A tube system comprising a blood inlet line with an arterial patient connection and a blood return line with a venous patient connection, where a rinsing liquid inlet line branches off from the blood inlet line downstream from the arterial patient connection, and a rinsing liquid return line branches off from the blood return line upstream from the venous patient connection is filled while maintaining sterility in that rinsing liquid is pumped from a rinsing liquid container through the rinsing liquid inlet line, the blood inlet line, the blood return line and the rinsing liquid return line, establishing a liquid connection between the rinsing liquid inlet line and return line. The venous patient connection is sealed liquid-tight with a venous safety cap, and the arterial patient connection is sealed liquid-tight with an arterial safety cap. The safety caps are removed from the patient connections for connecting the tube system to the patient.

Method of filling a tube system with a rinsing liquid and a tube system for use with this method

A dosing device for volumetric dosing of a liquid additive which is added in a certain volume ratio to a fluid, in particular withdrawn blood, flowing in a first hose line, via a second hose line feeding directly or indirectly into the first hose line. The dosing device for the volumetric dosing of an anticoagulant fluid or a sedimentation accelerator is preferably provided in a system for the collection and retransfusion of autologous blood which has a hose or tube section which extends downstream from the junction, and also a drip chamber connecting downstream from the drip tube and a light barrier, the direction of action of which is arranged transversely to the fall path of the drops. In order to avoid incorrect dosing because of changing viscosities of the liquid flowing in the first hose line, and thus of changing drop sizes, two electrically-triggerable valve means, one of which is in each case inserted into one of the two hose lines, are provided. The valve means are triggered alternately by means of a counting and control unit in such a way that in each case only one of the two named hoses is switched to 'open' at the same time. The liquid remaining in the drip tube as a result of capillary action thereby brings about a volume constancy between drops falling at the lower end of the drip tube and additive which is added at the upper end of the drip tube.

Dosing device for the volumetric dosing of a liquid additive

A centrifuge for the separation of blood into its components, especially a single-needle centrifuge, in which, in a collecting cycle, erythrocytes and plasma are passed through a centrifuge separation chamber and temporarily stored in a storage container and, in a recirculation cycle, the blood components temporarily stored in the storage container are passed through the separation chamber again and then returned to the patient.
