20120302945 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF GAS IN A FLUID PUMPED THROUGH A PUMPING DEVICE - This invention relates to a method for the determination of gas in a fluid, wherein the mixture of gas and fluid both is delivered by a pump and is subjected to a change in volume and pressure, operating parameters of the pump, which represents the change in volume and pressure, are detected, and from the operating parameters of the pump the gas content is determined in consideration of a system compressibility, wherein the system compressibility in the pumping device filled with gas is determined by sequence of process steps. The invention furthermore relates to an apparatus for performing this method into a dialysis machine which contains a corresponding apparatus. | 11-29-2012 |
20120310148 | METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A CONTINUOUS DIALYSATE VOLUME FLOW IN A DIALYSIS MACHINE AND DIALYSIS MACHINE - The present invention relates to a method for adjusting a continuous dialysate volume flow in a dialysis machine with at least two discontinuous pumps and a controller for generating a desired volume flow of the dialysate. In accordance with the invention, for generating a rather continuous, highly constant dialysate volume flow the energy for driving the pumps is set to be constant with a value determined corresponding to the pump-time volume of the respective pump and the delivered volume. The invention also relates to a dialysis machine for carrying out the aforementioned method. | 12-06-2012 |
20130006171 | DIALYSIS MACHINE - The present invention relates to a dialysis machine, in particular a peritoneal dialysis machine, wherein a dialysis treatment, in particular a peritoneal dialysis treatment, can be carried out by means of the dialysis machine in accordance with predefined and/or inputtable treatment parameters and wherein the dialysis machine has at least one setting means by means of which at least one treatment parameter can be set dynamically and/or during the treatment operation of the dialysis machine. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of operating a dialysis machine. | 01-03-2013 |
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 |
