The sealing device includes at least one first connection device whereby the sealing device may be connected to the arrangement. In addition an arrangement and a method are disclosed. | 04-05-2012 |
20120298580 | METHOD FOR RINSING AND/OR FOR FILLING A BLOOD TREATMENT DEVICE AND BLOOD TREATMENT DEVICE - A method is provided for rinsing and/or filling a blood treatment device, in particular for priming such a device. The blood treatment device includes at least one membrane filter, in particular a hollow fiber membrane filter, at least one first partial circuit, and at least one second partial circuit, with the first and second partial circuit being separated by the membrane filter in a semipermeable manner. The first partial circuit is first filled with a fluid with a uniform and/or a pulsatile first volumetric flow rate that does not exceed a specified threshold value. At this value the fluid has not yet completely wetted and/or soaked the membrane, and/or the second partial circuit is at least temporarily open towards the atmosphere, and air is displaced from the first into the second partial circuit via the membrane filter, and/or during filling no negative pressure is applied to the first partial circuit. | 11-29-2012 |
20130028788 | Method as well as apparatuses for testing at least one function of a medical functional device - The invention relates to a method for testing at least one function of a medical functional device which is inserted in and connected and compressed with a medical treatment apparatus, and/or a function of this treatment apparatus, wherein between a hydraulic device or a pneumatic unit of the treatment apparatus and the functional device at least one fluid communication is established. It further relates to a detection device which is programmed and/or configured for executing the method according to the invention as well as a medical treatment apparatus which comprises at least one detection device and/or is in signal transmission or is connected for signal transmission with it, a digital storage medium, a computer program product as well as a computer program. | 01-31-2013 |
20130030346 | METHOD FOR REMOVING BLOOD FROM AN EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD CIRCUIT AS WELL AS APPARATUSES - The present invention relates to a method for removing blood from an extracorporeal blood circuit and/or a functional device, each connectable or connected with a blood treatment apparatus for the purpose of blood treatment of a patient. The blood treatment apparatus of the method comprises or is connected with at least one extracorporeal blood circuit with a line having interior portions, the extracorporeal blood circuit comprising at least one arterial line section and at least one venous line section, wherein a first section of the arterial line section is configured to be connected with a second section of the venous line section, and further comprises at least one blood pump for conveying blood within the line interior portions. The method includes the step of operating the blood pump in a second conveying direction which is opposite to a first customary conveying direction. It further relates to corresponding apparatuses. | 01-31-2013 |
20130079698 | METHOD OF INITIALISING AN APPARATUS FOR BLOOD TREATMENT IN THE SINGLE-NEEDLE MODE AND APPARATUS FOR BLOOD TREATMENT IN THE SINGLE-NEEDLE MODE - An apparatus and method for blood treatment for the single-needle mode, the apparatus having an extra-corporeal blood circuit with a blood infeed line running to the inlet and a blood return line leading away from the outlet, of a blood treating unit, includes in the blood return line a device, e.g., container, for amassing blood, which is in flow-permitting connection for gas transfer with a device, e.g., container, for storing gas. A pressure is calculated and set in the device for storing gas before the arterial and venous phases are started, with two constraints. First, the pressure should be sufficiently low to ensure both no infusion of air into the patient and also regulated flow of blood into the patient even at opposing pressures lower than ambient pressure. Second, the pressure should be sufficiently high to expel blood from the device for amassing blood into the device for storing gas. | 03-28-2013 |
20130126404 | Device With A Peristaltic Hose Pump And Associated Method - The present invention relates to an apparatus having at least one hose roller pump, wherein the hose roller pump has at least one pump bed and at least one hose or hose part inserted or insertable into the pump bed, and having at least one pressure detection means which is arranged downstream of the hose roller pump and by means of which the time extent of the pressure of a fluid conveyed by means of the hose roller pump can be determined, and having at least one evaluation means by means of which the occlusion of the hose or hose part inserted or insertable into the pump bed can be monitored with reference to the time difference and/or to the angular difference between at least one maximum and at least one minimum of the determined time extent of the pressure and/or with reference to a local minimum of the determined time extent of the pressure. The invention furthermore in particular relates to a method therefor. | 05-23-2013 |
20130240443 | METHOD FOR DOSING A SUBSTITUATE WHICH WAS PRODUCED BY A BLOOD TREATMENT APPARATUS AS WELL AS APPARATUSES - The present invention relates to methods for dosing a substituate produced by a blood treatment apparatus. Dosing for the present invention is via a hydraulic system of the blood treatment apparatus, the hydraulic system having at least one dialysis liquid supply line which leads into a dialyzer and at least one substituate line. Regulating or controlling the size of the share which passes through the second filtration stage is performed by affecting at least one conveying apparatus and/or at least one flow limitation device and/or a flow divider valve, which are each located or which each operate in the dialysis liquid supply line and/or the substituate line and/or in the branch line which connects the dialysis liquid supply line with the substituate line. The present invention further relates to a control device, a blood treatment apparatus, a medical functional apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium related to the methods. | 09-19-2013 |
20150059894 | METHOD FOR REMOVING BLOOD FROM AN EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD CIRCUIT AS WELL AS APPARATUSES - The present invention relates to a method for removing blood from an extracorporeal blood circuit and/or a functional device, each connectable or connected with a blood treatment apparatus for the purpose of blood treatment of a patient. The blood treatment apparatus of the method comprises or is connected with at least one extracorporeal blood circuit with a line having interior portions, the extracorporeal blood circuit comprising at least one arterial line section and at least one venous line section, wherein a first section of the arterial line section is configured to be connected with a second section of the venous line section, and further comprises at least one blood pump for conveying blood within the line interior portions. The method includes the step of operating the blood pump in a second conveying direction which is opposite to a first customary conveying direction.
