  • Fluid Purification Methods, Devices, and Systems
    Publication number: 20250122103
    Abstract: A fluid purification system has cells whose purifying capability can be regenerated. Some of the cells are arranged in series to reach a high level of purification. An automatic valve network is controlled to cycle the cells in a way that levels the loads on each, thereby maximizing the service interval for replacing expired cells, enabling all of the cells to be replaced at the same time after having each contributing approximately equally to the purification load, and operated such that at any one time, at least one cell is regenerated so as to enable continuous up-time.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 20, 2024
    Publication date: April 17, 2025
    Applicant: NxStage Medical, Inc.
    Inventors: Joseph E. TURK, JR., William K. WEIGEL, Goetz FRIEDERICHS, Jeffery B. HOVER, SR.
