Publication number: 20240123129Abstract: A blood purification apparatus includes a line section, a duplex pump, and a control unit. The line section includes a dialysate introduction line and a drain-liquid discharge line. The control unit executes a blood purification treatment process and a defatting washing process. The blood purification treatment process is executed when blood purification treatment is performed in which dialysate is delivered to a dialyzer. The dialysate is prepared by diluting an A-drug solution and a B-drug solution. The defatting washing process is executed when defatting washing is performed where oil and fat in the line section is removed by causing a sodium carbonate solution obtained from the B-drug solution introduced into the line section to flow through the line section. The control unit uses a heating unit and a deaerator when executing a bicarbonate-solution-generating process where the sodium carbonate solution is generated by a predetermined amount while carbon dioxide is discharged.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: NIKKISO COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Satoru KAWARABAYASHI, Masahiro TOYODA, Kensaku TANAKA

Patent number: 8608680Abstract: A dialysis apparatus has a dialysate infusing line. One end of the dialysate infusing line is connected to the dialysate introducing line or the dialysate discharging line. The other end is branched out at a branch point into two flow routes, respectively, a first branch end and a second branch end. The first branch end is connectable to the arterial blood circuit or the venous blood circuit. The second branch end is connectable to the tip end of the arterial blood circuit during the blood-returning process. A dialysate infusing pump is arranged on the dialysate infusing line at a connection-side of the dialysate infusing line relative to the dialysate introducing line or the dialysate discharging line from the branch point. The dialysate infusing pump supplies the dialysate of the dialysate introducing line or the dialysate discharging line to the first branch end and the second branch end.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Nikkiso Company LimitedInventors: Shinya Hasegawa, Kensaku Tanaka

Patent number: 8489141Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus capable of reliably determining whether a load detected by detecting units is caused by water pressure or by some other pressure and performing predetermined control according to the determination. A portable telephone apparatus is provided with operation detecting units and a control unit. The operation detecting units are detecting units for detecting pressure caused by a pressing operation. When a pressure is detected by at least one of the operation detecting units, the control unit performs first control (for example, control caused by detection of pressure other than water pressure). When even pressures are simultaneously detected by the operation detecting units, the control unit performs second control (for example, control caused by detection of water pressure) different from the first control.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Kensaku Tanaka, Takashi Ito
