Abstract: A blood filtration system can be used with an external infusion pump and can include, among other things, a withdrawal line, an infusion (return) line, a filter coupled between the withdrawal line and the infusion line, a controller, and a withdrawal pressure sensor and/or an infusion pressure sensor. The withdrawal pressure sensor can sense a withdrawal pressure signal indicative of a pressure in the withdrawal line. The infusion pressure sensor can be coupled to the infusion line to sense an infusion pressure signal indicative of a pressure in the infusion line. In various embodiments, the controller can detect an operational state of the external infusion pump by analyzing at least the withdrawal pressure signal and/or the infusion pressure signal.

Abstract: An extracorporeal blood filtering machine can include a blood circuit, an effluent circuit, and a source fluid circuit and can be controlled by a controller. The extracorporeal blood filtering machine can also include access ports for connecting the source fluid circuit to the blood circuit, as well as blood sensors to detect possible issues with the extracorporeal blood filtering machine. The extracorporeal blood filtering machine can include density sensors and flow sensors that enable it to be more accurate and to operate while being transported. The extracorporeal blood filtering machine can further include a user interface and can display fluid inflow/outflow information. A medical fluid container can automatically empty after being filled. An apparatus for supporting a medical fluid container can include a hanger and an attachment member with the apparatus able to adjust to ensure the medical fluid container remains properly oriented directly under a medical fluid container scale.
