  • Patent number: 10625007
    Abstract: A blood purification apparatus and a blood purification system that is operable with increased ease even if a blood purifier requires special treatment conditions and operational settings is used. A blood purification apparatus includes a blood purifier for giving blood purification treatment by purifying blood of a patient; and a control device that executes, in accordance with preset treatment conditions and/or operational settings, an operation for performing the blood purification treatment or an operation associated with the blood purification treatment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10406273
    Abstract: A blood purification apparatus that is capable of performing a liquid spill prevention operation and uniformizing the amount of air introduced through an opened portion. The blood purification apparatus includes a dialysate introduction line that allows dialysate to be introduced into a dialyzer; a dialysate discharge line that allows the dialysate to be discharged from the dialyzer; coupling tools that allow free switching between a connected state which causes a closed circuit, and an opened state which causes the closed circuit to be opened to form an opened portion; and a control means that performs a liquid spill prevention operation in which external air is introduced through the opened portion. An air detection means, by which air introduced through the opened portion is detectable, is provided in the vicinity of the coupling tools, and the control means stops the liquid spill prevention operation when air is detected by the air detection means.

  • Patent number: 10195336
    Abstract: There are provided a blood purification apparatus and a priming method thereof which can reliably perform air bubble purging of a blood purification device while workability is maintained during priming. During the priming, an air purging step is performed by causing a blood pump to perform reverse rotation, and electromagnetic valves and are brought into an opened state so as to open the overflow line (L) and a priming solution supply line and so as to discharge a priming solution from an overflow line while supplying a dialysate functioning as the priming solution from the priming solution supply line.
