Abstract: A heating system for medical fluid that comprises a receptacle for medical fluid to be heated, a heating element powered by a power supply inducing a leakage current (to ground) ranging between 100 and 10 ?A. The heating system further comprises an interface device (for example, an electrical insulation and thermal interface device) disposed between the heating element and the medical fluid contained in the receptacle, allowing the heating system to induce a leakage current in the medical fluid that is less than 10 ?A at the applied part.
Abstract: The present invention provides an extracorporeal dialysis apparatus which allows the automation of some operations in order to make possible a safe home treatment or to facilitate the treatment process for example the priming and/or the blood return process. Thus, the object is to automatically perform a series of processes from hemodialysis preparation to treatment completion safely, reliably and speedily, and to significantly reduce the labor and supply costs.

Abstract: A dialysis system may include a blood circuit, a cassette, a subsystem having a processor, a sensor, and a blood pumping mechanism, a housing in which the subsystem is arranged, a movable support arranged in the housing and configured to hold the sensor and/or the blood pumping mechanism of the subsystem, a cassette holder configured to removably receive the cassette, and a loading system. The loading system may be configured to move the movable support, e.g. by an axial movement, to a first position and to a second position relatively to the housing while the cassette holder is fixedly arranged in the housing. The loading system may have an electric motor controlled by the processor, a drive assembly coupled to the electric motor, and a guiding assembly configured to cooperate with the drive assembly.
