Patent number: 10124106Abstract: The blood purification apparatus has a control device (19) that performs a venous returning blood process S1, an arterial returning blood process S4 and a negative pressure applying process S1a. The returning of the blood is performed by substituting a physiological saline solution for the blood in the blood circuit. The negative pressure applying process S1a releases a negative pressure after applying the negative pressure to a flow route on an upstream side from an arrangement position of a blood pump 4 in the arterial blood circuit (1). The blood pump (4) is in a normal rotation and an electromagnetic valve V3 switches over the physiological saline solution supplying line 8 from a closing state to a circulating state.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Nikkiso Company LimitedInventors: Hiroshi Nimura, Kazumi Yokoyama, Tomohiro Furuhashi

Patent number: 9662433Abstract: A pressure detection device of a liquid flow route is provided which detects a pressure of an arterial blood circuit consisting of a flexible tube, a portion of which is connected to a peristaltically-actuated tube that can cause an internal liquid to flow by being compressed in a radial direction and being peristaltically actuated in a longitudinal direction in a roller of a blood pump, and which enables a predetermined liquid to be circulated. The pressure detection device includes a load sensor that detects radial displacement of the peristaltically-actuated tube.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: NIKKISO COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Sumiaki Matsuo, Kazumi Yokoyama, Kunihiko Akita

Patent number: 9192708Abstract: To provide a dialysate extraction apparatus which can automate disinfecting work for a collection port or a sealing device of an opening/closing device and can reliably and easily clean the collection port or the sealing device of the opening/closing device. A dialysate extraction apparatus includes a dialysate extraction device that has an introduction port and a discharge port which are connected to a flow route of a liquid and can circulate the liquid and that has a collection port which can collect the circulated liquid; a cap that is attachable to and detachable from the collection port of the dialysate extraction device and can open and close the collection port; a sealing device that is attached to the cap and seals the collection port in a state where the cap is attached to the collection port of the dialysate extraction device; and a heating device that can heat the sealing device of the cap.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: NIKKISO COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Tadashi Iwahori, Masahiro Takahashi, Kazumi Yokoyama, Hachiro Edamura, Yusuke Nakano, Fumihiko Ishizaki

Publication number: 20140174997Abstract: The blood purification apparatus has a control device (19) that performs a venous returning blood process S1, an arterial returning blood process S4 and a negative pressure applying process S1a. The returning of the blood is performed by substituting a physiological saline solution for the blood in the blood circuit. The negative pressure applying process S1a releases a negative pressure after applying the negative pressure to a flow route on an upstream side from an arrangement position of a blood pump 4 in the arterial blood circuit (1). The blood pump (4) is in a normal rotation and an electromagnetic valve V3 switches over the physiological saline solution supplying line 8 from a closing state to a circulating state.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2014Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: NIKKISO COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Hiroshi NIMURA, Kazumi YOKOYAMA, Tomohiro FURUHASHI

Patent number: 5098380Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for detecting an occlusion of a liquid transfusion tube in which a pump section is provided in a liquid transfusion tube for connecting an infusion liquid container with a body infusion element. An occlusion of the liquid transfusion tube is detected according to an amount of displacement of the liquid transfusion tube displaceable under a pressure of a liquid transfused to the liquid transfusion tube by an operation of the pump section.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1989Date of Patent: March 24, 1992Assignee: Nikkiso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Aizawa, Akira Fujitani, Tetsuya Miyatake, Kazumi Yokoyama, Shigeru Tanaka
