  • Publication number: 20160361557
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a catheter (10), associated with a radiofrequency radio-electric signal generator, adapted to convey said radio-electric signal to the cardiac surfaces in order to repair, regenerate and normalize the electro-physiological, metabolic activities of the heart. The generator comprises a transmitter (13) adapted to produce a radiofrequency electromagnetic field, an antenna (14) to emit said radiofrequency electromagnetic field, a control module (18) and a user interface (19). A conductor (15) connects at one end to the reference ground of the transmitter circuitry and at the other end to the electrode (12).

  • Patent number: 8425767
    Abstract: A connecting device comprises a buffer chamber (2), a first connecting line (3) between a liquid source (4) and an inlet (5) of the buffer chamber, a second connecting line (9) between an outlet (10) of the buffer chamber and the medical treatment apparatus (11), two valves (7, 8) arranged in series on the first connecting line, a pump (12) on the second connecting line, two liquid level sensors (15, 16) operating in the buffer chamber, a vent valve (18) connected to the buffer chamber. The liquid source is a centralized distribution plant of dialysate, while the medical treatment apparatus is a dialysis apparatus. The invention prevents back-contamination of the centralized plant with disinfectant sourced from the dialysis apparatus.
