Patent number: 11850341Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to extracorporeal blood processing or other processing of fluids. Volumetric fluid balance, a required element of many such processes, may be achieved with multiple pumps or other proportioning or balancing devices which are to some extent independent of each other. This need may arise in treatments that involve multiple fluids. Safe and secure mechanisms to ensure fluid balance in such systems are described.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: NxStage Medical, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey H.

Publication number: 20230277745Abstract: A patient's body temperature measurement may be made by varying the heat transfer dynamics of a fluid exiting the patient's body and fitting parameters of heat transfer configuration to measurements under the varied conditions. Then the input temperature of the patient core can be extracted from the model and a current temperature measurement remote from the patient core and optionally other measurements such as fluid flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: NxStage Medical, Inc.Inventors: Scott W.

Publication number: 20230003209Abstract: A peristaltic pump that reduces electrical current flowing through a pumping tube segment includes a central rotor mounted on a central rotation axis, a shoe with a curved surface facing toward the central rotor, multiple rollers mounted along the circumference of the central rotor and the pumping tube segment positioned between the curved surface and the central rotor. Each roller of the plurality of rollers is a member of a roller group, each roller group includes at least two rollers, rollers in a particular roller group are physically located closer to each other than to rollers in other roller groups, and at least two rollers pinch a portion of the pumping tube segment against the curved surface through a full rotation of the central rotor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: NxStage Medical, Inc.Inventors: Jerome JAMES, Douglas DIONE

Publication number: 20220362448Abstract: A parameter for controlling an inlet pump speed in a hemofiltration system is derived from fitting a line to multiple data points of pressure versus pump speed. The pressure is measured in a channel connecting an inlet pump to an outlet pump. First, the inlet pump operates and the pressure is sampled until it is stabilized, then the inlet pump speed is increased and pressure is measured to obtain a data point. Subsequently the inlet pump speed is decreased and pressure is measured to obtain another data point. A line is fit through the data points to obtain the parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: NxStage Medical, Inc.Inventor: Jerome JAMES
