  • Publication number: 20240082472
    Abstract: A blood treatment system with pressure sensors may be configured to control blood flow to and from the patient and use readings of the pressure sensors to determine a change in a pressure drop across a flow restriction in the blood circuit to estimate a condition of the machine or the patient, or outputting data responsive to the estimation. Further embodiments employ measurement of pressure drop to detect abnormal viscosity or viscosity variations in order to detect possible infection.

  • Patent number: 6123079
    Abstract: An adjustable male condom securely retains the male condom on the penis of the wearer, thereby effectively preventing unwanted pregnancy and protecting against communicable diseases transmitted by the exchange of bodily fluids. The adjustable male condom includes a flaccid pouch made of an elastic, thin, disposable film material that is impervious to bodily fluids. The flaccid pouch includes an elongate, hollow, generally cylindrical body defining a longitudinal axis and having a first end and a closed second end. The adjustable male condom further includes a flaccid pouch harness attached to the first end of the body of the flaccid pouch. The flaccid pouch harness includes an annular retaining ring and a pair of elongate retaining straps. Each of the retaining straps has a first end attached to the retaining ring and a second end that remains unattached. Preferably, the retaining ring has a gap formed therein between the pair of retaining straps.
