Publication number: 20240261482Abstract: A medical treatment system, such as peritoneal dialysis system, may include control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, a peritoneal dialysis system may include patient line state detector for detecting whether a patient line is primed before it is to be connected to the patient. The patient line state detector can also the ability to detect whether a patient line has been properly mounted for priming. Both patient line presence/absence and fill state can be determined using an optical system, e.g., one that employs a single optical sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2024Publication date: August 8, 2024Applicant: DEKA Products Limited PartnershipInventors: Jacob W. Scarpaci, James D. Dale, Jason M. Overson, Simon C. Helmore, Eric J. VanWyk, Matthew J. Finch

Patent number: 9891633Abstract: A flow control device is disclosed. The flow control device includes a solenoid, the solenoid including an armature. Also, a piston connected to the armature. The piston includes a primary orifice. The piston having an open position and a closed position. A piston spring connected to the piston is also includes and at least one secondary orifice. The movement of the piston to the open position at least partially opens the at least one secondary orifice and the movement of the piston to the closed position at least partially closes the at least one secondary orifice. The movement of the armature actuates the piston movement and controls fluid flow from the primary orifice through the at least one secondary orifice.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: DEKA Products Limited PartnershipInventors: Felix Winkler, Russell H.
