  • Measurement and control of ultrafiltration in dialysis
    Patent number: 4966691
    Abstract: Measuring and controlling dialysate flow to a dialyzer in hemodialysis by sensing the flow by an electric signal generating device and using this signal to indicate a differential between a preselected flow and an actual flow, and valving the flow according to this differential. The indication may be visual, and the signal can be used to automate the valving action.

  • Ultrafiltration in hemodialysis
    Patent number: 4486303
    Abstract: Control of ultrafiltration by the use of two flowmeters which include fluid flow controls, one between the dialysate supply and the dialyzer input, and a second such flowmeter between the dialyzer output and the effluent. Alternatively, a smaller capacity flowmeter may be placed in parallel with the output flowmeter, to be read as a "vernier".
