Patent number: 11969534Abstract: Simple-to-use systems, methods, and devices for priming replacement blood treatment devices, for swapping the blood treatment devices out, for replacing swapped-out blood treatment devices, and other related operations are described. In embodiments, a blood treatment device can be primed while a therapy is still running. When the replacement blood treatment device is needed, the therapy can be stopped momentarily (less than a minute) for the rapid and safe swap of the blood treatment device. Blood loss can be minimized. The down time from therapy can be minimized.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: NxStage Medical, Inc.Inventors: James M. Brugger, David Desouza

Publication number: 20240075191Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to extracorporeal blood processing or other processing of fluids. Volumetric fluid balance, a required element of many such processes, may be achieved with multiple pumps or other proportioning or balancing devices which are to some extent independent of each other. This need may arise in treatments that involve multiple fluids. Safe and secure mechanisms to ensure fluid balance in such systems are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: NxStage Medical, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey H. BURBANK, Dennis M. TREU, Daniel Joseph RUBERY, JR., Scott W. NEWELL, James M. BRUGGER, William J. SCHNELL, William K. WEIGEL, Steven A. WHITE, Mark T. WYETH, Jerome JAMES, David DESOUZA, Joseph E.
