Abstract: A dialysis system includes a dialysis instrument; a disposable cassette, the cassette including a rigid portion defining at least one pumping chamber, a pouch fitted over the rigid portion, the pouch including at least one flexible sheet sealed so as to provide a sealed environment inside the pouch; and wherein the instrument is configured to press the at least one flexible sheet against the pumping chamber to seal the pumping chamber for operation.

Abstract: The present invention is a case for a flat panel television that allows a purchaser to add a personal ergonomically designed aesthetic skin to the television. The case generally comprises a front body removably engaged with a rear body to provide an outside skin for the flat panel television. The front body comprises a front panel having a centrally disposed window, a top sidewall, a bottom sidewall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall. The front body further comprises first and second lower fasteners extending outward from the left and right sidewalls. Engagement of the front body of the case with the rear body of the case provides an aesthetic skin to the flat panel television that can be freely changed by the purchaser. The front and rear body may take different colors, designs, and or themes which the purchaser may select. The case further comprises a remote control support removably attached to one of the sidewalls of the rear body.

Abstract: A method for determining the clearance competency of dialyzers utilized in renal hemodialysis comprises measuring the conductivity of a dialysate solution of low initial conductivity while circulating a priming solution of greater conductivity on the blood side of the dialyzer, correlating the rate of dialysis of molecules contained in the printing solution to known clearance rates for urea or other targeted blood impurity for the types and compositions of the particular dialysis membranes being utilized, and calculating the precise length of treatment time or other treatment parameters required to cleanse the blood to be dialyzed of impurities and biotoxins to a predicted target value. Failsafe control means which prevents mistakes in connecting unsafe fluid sources to the dialyzer is also provided.
