  • Patent number: 11931493
    Abstract: A control system is configured to implement a method of preparing a blood treatment apparatus (1) for blood treatment. The method comprises installing, by use of a disposable arrangement, first and second flow circuits (C1, C2) separated by a semi-permeable membrane (25), the first flow circuit (C1) being connected for fluid communication with the apparatus (1) and the second flow circuit (C2) being connected to form a closed loop that includes a sterilizing filter (46) and, optionally, a container (30). The method further comprises performing backfiltration to transfer a human-compatible fluid from the first flow circuit (C1) to the second flow circuit (C2) through the semi-permeable membrane (25), and circulating (304) the human-compatible fluid in the closed loop of second flow circuit (C2), to thereby sterilize the human-compatible fluid by the sterilizing filter (46) and, optionally, collect a resulting sterile fluid in the container (30) for later use.

  • Publication number: 20150198484
    Abstract: An electronic shelf label (ESL) is provided. The ESL includes a printed circuit board, PCB, a photo sensor sensitive to infra-red, IR, radiation and arranged at the PCB, an outer cover in which a window is arranged to admit light and IR radiation towards the photo sensor. The ESL further includes a filter arranged in front of the photo sensor and separate from the window, the filter being adapted to admit IR radiation and filter out light within the visible wavelength range. Further, the ESL includes index matching material transparent to IR radiation and coated on the PCB such that it covers the photo sensor and provides direct or indirect physical contact between the photo sensor and the filter. Such enables use of a photo sensor which is not pre-coated with index matching material, which reduces manufacturing costs.
