20110171713 | SORBENT FOR A DIALYSIS DEVICE - There is provided a sorbent for removing metabolic waste products from a dialysis liquid, the sorbent comprising a layer of immobilized uremic toxin-treating enzyme particles intermixed with cation exchange particles. | 07-14-2011 |
20110184340 | FLOW SYSTEM OF A DIALYSIS DEVICE AND A PORTABLE DIALYSIS DEVICE - There is provided a flow system of a dialysis device including a dialysate conduit which is capable of being in fluid communication with the peritoneal cavity of a patient's body and of being in fluid communication with a flow path, the flow path allowing dialysate to flow from a patient's body to a sorbent capable of removing contaminants within the dialysate in an outflow mode and in an inflow mode returning the dialysate substantially free of contaminants to the patient's body. The device also includes a pump for moving the dialysate along the flow path in both the outflow mode and inflow mode and a plurality of valves disposed along the flow path. There is also provided a portable dialysis device. | 07-28-2011 |

20140291218 | SENSING SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A SUBSTANCE IN A DIALYSATE - A sensing system for detecting a substance in a dialysate. The system includes a hydrophobic barrier capable of allowing the substance in the dialysate to equilibrate to a gas; a detector capable of detecting the gas; an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow fluid communication of the gas; and one or more delivery mechanisms capable of transporting the gas from the hydrophobic barrier to the detector. A method of detecting ammonium gas in a dialysate is also provided. | 10-02-2014 |
20140309584 | DIALYSIS DEVICE AND METHOD OF DIALYSIS - A dialysis device is provided comprising a disposable housing having a dialysate flow path along which dialysate received from a patient is subjected to contaminant removal when in operation, wherein said disposable housing comprises a storage chamber in fluid communication with the dialysate flow path for storing the dialysate therein; a controller for controlling the operation of said disposable housing; an interface means capable of operably coupling the controller and the disposable housing to enable the contaminant removal from the dialysate, and a fluid displacement means configured to move the dialysate along the dialysate flow path, wherein said fluid displacement means comprises a deformable diaphragm integrally formed with at least one wall of said storage chamber, wherein the flow path is fluidly sealed from the controller and interface means. A method of dialysis, a dialysis system and kits are also provided. | 10-16-2014 |
20160109421 | SENSING SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A SUBSTANCE IN A DIALYSATE - A sensing system for detecting a substance in a dialysate. The system includes a hydrophobic barrier capable of allowing the substance in the dialysate to equilibrate through the barrier to a gas. The system also includes a detector capable of detecting the gas and an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow transport of the gas between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector following a concentration gradient of the gas along the interface. | 04-21-2016 |
