Abstract: A method for determining a pressure of a medical fluid in a fluid line by using at least one centrifugal pump includes detecting the pressure upstream of the centrifugal pump while considering an information about a pressure downstream of the centrifugal pump, or detecting the pressure downstream of the centrifugal pump while considering an information about a pressure upstream of the centrifugal pump. Thereby, at least one information about the volume flow in the fluid line and/or at least one information about a rotation speed of the centrifugal pump are considered, respectively. The invention also relates to a method for determining a volume flow, an arithmetic unit, a treatment apparatus, a digital storage means, a computer program product and a computer program.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for monitoring a patient access, particularly for monitoring the venous vascular access in extracorporeal blood treatment where blood is withdrawn from the patient via a flexible arterial line which has an arterial needle or cannula, and provided to the patient via a flexible venous line which has a venous needle or cannula. The needle or cannula of the present invention is so designed that, due to the liquid flowing through the needle or cannula, air is drawn in if the needle or cannula is out of the vascular access, whereby sound is generated. A vascular access which is not in proper order is detected with great certainty and reliability by monitoring the surrounding environment for the occurrence of sound, particularly for the occurrence of the solid-borne sound which propagates along the flexible venous line of the extracorporeal blood circuit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for priming a line for adding a medical solution, the line branching off a return line of an extracorporeal blood circuit, in particular a calcium line, a control device for controlling or regulating the method according to the present invention and a blood or plasma treatment apparatus with at least the control device according to the present invention. It further relates to a digital storage medium, a computer program product as well as a computer program.

Abstract: A medical functional device includes at least one first fluid system for receiving at least one medical fluid, at least one first conveying device for conveying the medical fluid, at least one second fluid system for receiving at least one operating fluid, and at least one second conveying device for operating the at least first conveying device, in which the first conveying device is arranged such as to be actuated by means of the operating fluid. A treatment apparatus and a method are also described.

Abstract: Extracorporeal blood treatment methods are usually performed with anticoagulation of the blood. In regional anticoagulation with citrate, sometimes a blood clot is observed in the extracorporeal circulation at the point of addition of the calcium substitution solution. In such a case, the treatment must be interrupted. To prevent such an interruption, the point of addition is configured as a T-piece having a spiral structure for generating turbulence.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of information display and information playback on medical fluid management machines, in particular dialysis machines in which there should be a simple and reliable transmission of patient features and machine features to a mobile computer. The present invention is based on the problem of making available to the operating personnel information pertaining to the medical fluid management machine or a treatment to be performed therewith and doing so in a simple and convenient manner such that certain information should be readable only by certain groups of people. In this regard methods and devices have been proposed with which specific graphic codes are generated, encrypted and displayed or applied, these graphic codes being inputable and decodable by a mobile computer.
