Abstract: The invention relates to a device and the operating method therefor, for the fragmentation of a biological material within in a sealed sterile environment with an aseptic procedure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for the treatment of biological material (2) comprising a concentration circuit (3) having at least one concentration filter (20), at least one supply conduit (30) of the biological material (2), and a concentration section (40) interposed between separation filter (10) and concentration filter (20) and defining an inner volume configured to accommodate a fraction of interest (2a) of the biological material (2). A discharge conduit (50) is connected to the second access (22) of the concentration filter (20) downstream of the concentration section (40), and an infusion line (60) is connected to the concentration circuit (3). The concentrated fraction of interest (2a) of biological material (2) may be withdrawn from a collection channel (70) or by removing the entire concentration section (40) from the rest of the circuit.

Abstract: A device for preparing adipose tissue for transplantation, from lobular fat extracted, for instance, by liposuction. The device comprises at least one washing and separating container (1) having a washing chamber (11) for washing the liposuctioned material, which washing and separating container (1) has at least one inlet (12) and at least one outlet (13) for the liposuctioned material to enter the washing chamber (11) through the inlet (12) and for at least part of said material, the fluid component, to exit said chamber 11 through the outlet 13. The washing and separating container (1) is coupled to stirring means via coupling means (2) for releasably coupling said washing and separating container (1) to said stirring means, drive means being provided for driving said stirring means.

Abstract: A solution infusion apparatus (1), particularly for dialysis systems, comprising at least one main pouch (3, 3?) adapted to contain a solution and comprising a pump (5) configured for introducing the solution in the blood circuit of a dialysis system. The apparatus further comprises at least one additional pouch (7) that is hydraulically connected to the at least one main pouch (3, 3?), wherein the pump (5) is configured to draw the solution from the at least one additional pouch (7).

Abstract: A dialysis machine is provided with a dialysate circuit, a blood circuit and a filter having a dialysate compartment connected to the dialysate circuit, a blood compartment connected to the blood circuit, and a semi-permeable membrane to separate the dialysate compartment from the blood compartment. A method for filling and washing the filter includes the recirculation of a physiological saline in the dialysate circuit and the transfer of the physiological saline from the dialysate circuit to the blood circuit through the semi-permeable membrane.

Abstract: A dialysis machine comprises: means for calculating (60) a filtration factor (FF) as a function of the ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and of a plasma flow rate (Qp); first comparison means (65) for comparing the filtration factor (FF) with a limit value of admissibility; and signaling means (70) for generating a signal (A) indicating the result of the comparison.

Abstract: The monitoring method comprises the stages of acquiring and storing the values (Q.sub.inf, Q.sub.b and Q.sub.UF) of a plurality of parameters set by the operator for the individual dialysis treatment to be carried out and for determining the doctor's clinical prescription [[HCO.sub.3.sup.- ].sub.b ] on the basis of the stored values of the parameters prior to the commencement of treatment. During the dialysis treatment, the current values (Q.sub.inf1, Q.sub.b1 and Q.sub.UF1) of the parameters set are continuously acquired (block 29) and if these current values differ significantly from the stored values or in such a way as to entail a change to the predetermined prescription, an alarm signal (36) is generated and a new value (Q.sub.infs) for some parameters calculated in advance (block 31) is suggested so as to maintain the previous prescription unchanged.
