Patent number: 11305040Abstract: Dialysis systems and methods are described which can include a number of features. The dialysis systems described can be to provide dialysis therapy to a patient in the comfort of their own home. The dialysis system can be configured to prepare purified water from a tap water source in real-time that is used for creating a dialysate solution. The dialysis systems described also include features that make it easy for a patient to self-administer therapy. For example, the dialysis systems include disposable cartridge and patient tubing sets that are easily installed on the dialysis system and automatically align the tubing set, sensors, venous drip chamber, and other features with the corresponding components on the dialysis system. Methods of use are also provided, including automated priming sequences, blood return sequences, and dynamic balancing methods for controlling a rate of fluid transfer during different types of dialysis, including hemodialysis, ultrafiltration, and hemodiafiltration.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Outset Medical, Inc.Inventors: Michael Edward Hogard, Gopi Lingam, Dean Hu, Balaji M. Maniam, James Ritson, Andy H. Uchida, John David Stienmier, Paul David McGregor

Publication number: 20160082172Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices and methods related to embodiments of a dialysis system, including a home dialysis system, having a conductivity sensor or sensing system that measures conductivity in fluid associated with the dialysis system. For example, the conductivity sensor of the dialysis system can measure the conductivity of dialysate in order to determine its composition and verify proportioning of the dialysate. The conductivity sensor can also measure the purity of water and verify its proportioning in the dialysis system. In addition, the conductivity sensor can be configured to detect conductivity of the fluid within an acceptable range.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2015Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Steven Michael MILLER, George Chao-Chih HSU, Paul Thomas BRIDGES, John David STIENMIER
