Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically verifying correct setup of a blood treatment apparatus, in particular a gravimetric cycler for peritoneal dialysis having only one scale and a hose system, wherein the hose system comprises at least three line portions for connection to at least one drainage bag, at least one solution bag and a patient, wherein, by means of the scale, a change in weight of the solution bag and/or the drainage bag during a filling process of the hose system is detected and compared to an expected value. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding blood treatment apparatus.

Abstract: A safety cover for coupling with an injection device, the safety cover including a base; a cover including an outer housing and an inner housing; and a hinge, wherein the base includes a needle mount which is configured for directed receiving of an injection needle along a receiving axis of the needle mount, wherein the outer housing is coupled with the inner housing in a coaxial arrangement relative to a longitudinal axis of the cover and mounted at the inner housing, at least partially surrounding the inner housing, wherein the cover is connected by the hinge with the base, so that the cover is pivotable relative to the base about a pivot axis formed by the hinge and oriented perpendicular to the receiving axis so that that the cover is pivotable from an initial position in a first pivoting direction into a treatment position.

Abstract: A protective device for the needle tube of a syringe, including a housing which can be pivoted on a support base which has an open housing side in the pivot plane, so that the needle tube can be pivoted into the housing after being used for injection and wherein on the housing side, a retaining device is provided for the needle tube which has been pivoted inwards. The invention proposes that in addition to the connection of a film hinge in order to form a pivot axis, the support base and the pivotable housing are additionally connected together via a predetermined breaking point and wherein after being used for injection, the housing can be pivoted back over the destroyed predetermined breaking point.

Abstract: A safety cover configured to be coupled to an injection device and to provide a protective enclosure for a needle of the injection device, the safety cover including an outer cover member; an inner cover member coupled to the outer cover member in a concentric arrangement so that the outer cover member encloses at least a portion of the inner cover member, wherein the outer cover member is configured to move relative to the inner cover member from an unlocked position, in which the needle of the injection device is accessible for use, to a locked position, in which the outer cover member and the inner cover member are fixed at one another and the needle of the injection device is inaccessible, wherein the outer cover member includes a body that includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a cavity defined within the body.

Abstract: A device for the needle tube of a syringe includes a housing which can pivot on a carrier element for the needle tube and which has an open housing side in the pivoting plane of the housing such that the needle tube can be swung into the housing in order to be held there after being used for injection. The arrangement of the rear free end of the needle tube in the carrier element enables controlled piercing, of the all of a container that is replaceable in the carrier element.
