20130086872 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING FIBER BUNDLES - An apparatus for the reeling up of fiber bundles, in particular of hollow fiber membrane bundles, and in particular for the manufacture of dialysis filters, includes a reel carrier rotatable around a main axis. The apparatus includes at least two reels which are rotatably supported on the reel carrier, with the axes of rotation of the reels being perpendicular to the main axis of the reel carrier. The apparatus can be used for the wrapping of a fiber bundle with a film, having a receiver of first and second side elements and a flexible channel fastened between them for the reception of the film and the fiber bundle. A drive is provided to move at least the first side element transversely to the channel, and at least one folding device movable transversely to the channel for the folding of the film around the fiber bundle. | 04-11-2013 |
20130118961 | Dialysis Systems and Related Methods - A dialysis machine that includes a valve member having a deformable area configured to deform outwardly away when pressurized fluid is introduced into the valve member. The valve member is configured so that, when a dialysis fluid cassette is disposed in a cassette compartment of the dialysis machine and pressurized fluid is introduced into the valve member, the deformable area obstructs a fluid channel of the dialysis fluid cassette to control dialysis fluid flow therethrough. | 05-16-2013 |
20130118970 | Dialysis Fluid Cassettes and Related Systems and Methods - A dialysis fluid cassette that includes a base and a flexible membrane attached to the base. The flexible membrane and the base cooperate to at least partially define a venting chamber and a fluid channel fluidly connected to the venting chamber. | 05-16-2013 |
20130172806 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREPARING MEDICAL TREATMENT DEVICES - The present invention is in the field of control of medical treatment devices, in particular devices for dialysis. The invention is based on the object of making the control of medical treatment devices more flexible and more convenient and expanding the possibility of programming and outputting individual action instructions. To do so, individual frontends are kept on hand for the treatment and for the medical treatment device, these frontends generating on external devices a phase list which is transferred to and then controls the medical treatment device. | 07-04-2013 |
20130193282 | HOLDER FOR A SHELF - The invention relates to a holder for mounting a shelf on the infusion stand of a medical device, for example, a dialysis machine. With this holder, a shelf surface for utilitarian objects on the dialysis machine is made available to the user. A shelf which is to be fastened on the infusion stand is necessary in particular with dialysis machines whose display screen is not integrated into the machine housing but instead is attached to the infusion stand. The surface of the machine in this case can no longer be used as a shelf surface. The holder can be mounted and removed easily without the assistance of tools. | 08-01-2013 |
20130195717 | METHOD OF STERILIZING AT LEAST ONE OBJECT, STERILIZATION APPARATUS AND USE OF SAME - The present invention relates to a method of sterilizing at least one object, wherein the object has at least two openings toward an inner space of the object to be sterilized, wherein at least one first opening is connected to a feed line for a sterilization agent and wherein the at least one second opening is connected to an outlet line for a sterilization agent and the sterilization agent is conducted through the feed line into the inner space and through the inner space and leaves the inner space through the outlet line. The present invention furthermore relates to a sterilizing apparatus and to a use of same. | 08-01-2013 |

20130206248 | CONNECTOR WITH A CONTAINER FOR PREPARING AN INDIVIDUALLY ADJUSTED SOLUTION FOR DIALYSIS - The invention relates to a connector for a container with a spiking solution for individual adjustment of dialysis solutions and/or dialysis concentrates. The connector ensures a contamination-free introduction of the spiking solution into the container of the dialysis solution and/or of the dialysis concentrate and reliable labeling of same as soon as the original contents have been altered by adding a spiking solution. | 08-15-2013 |
20130211278 | Method and a device for determining the hydration and/or nutrition status of a patient - The invention relates to the field of monitoring the hydration and/or nutrition status of a patient. According to the invention a method is provided to determine at least one of a mal-hydration component, an adipose tissue component and a lean tissue component of a patient comprising the steps of determining chemical or physical properties of the patient and deriving the at least one component on the basis of the determined chemical or physical properties of the patient and previously determined values of a mass or volume fraction of water in lean tissue and a mass or volume fraction of water in adipose tissue. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method according to the invention and to a computer program product to be used on such a device. | 08-15-2013 |
20130274613 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RECOGNITION OF PARAVASAL BLEEDING - A method and a device for recognition of paravasal bleeding upon a supplying of blood to a vascular access via a line and/or upon the removal of blood from a vascular access via a line is provided. A device for extracorporeal blood treatment comprising a device for recognition of paravasal bleeding is also provided. The method and the device are based on the change of arterial pressure in the arterial branch or the venous pressure in the venous branch of the extra-corporeal circuit being registered during the extracorporeal blood treatment. One aspect of the method and the device is that pressure changes that come from a pressure level exhibiting a large difference from a reference value are more strongly considered than those that come from a pressure level that exhibits only a minor difference from the reference value. | 10-17-2013 |
20130292312 | BALANCING DEVICE, DIALYSIS MACHINE, EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION AND METHOD FOR BALANCING FLUIDS WITH A FLUID MEASURING CELL - A balancing method and a balancing device ( | 11-07-2013 |
20130317420 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ENTERING USER INFORMATION INTO MEDICAL DEVICES - The present invention relates to the field of a device and a method for entering user information into medical devices. It is based on the problem of supporting the work of the attending medical personnel in the operation of medical devices and to ensure that unsuitable settings are not made inadvertently or accidentally for the concrete treatment situation in the operation of such medical devices. For this purpose a method and a device are proposed in which a second parameter value characterizing the medical device, entered into an input device is verified and depending on this verification it is ordered that the first or second parameter value or neither the first nor the second parameter value can be or is accepted into a control unit which controls the machine. | 11-28-2013 |
