Abstract: A dialyzer header cleaning device composed of: a connecting member for connecting the device to the header, the connecting member having a longitudinal passage with a longitudinal axis; and a flow directing member having first and second opposed ends and a fluid passage extending between a fluid inlet at the first end and a fluid outlet at the second end. The flow directing member has a portion that extends from the second end toward the first end and is held in the longitudinal passage. The flow directing member is manually rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the connecting member and is manually movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the connecting member. The fluid outlet of the flow directing member is constructed to eject at least one liquid stream in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis when fluid is supplied to the fluid inlet.

Abstract: A dialyzer header cleaning device composed of: a housing having two opposed ends and delimiting a passage that extends in a flow direction between the two ends; a connecting element disposed at a first end of the housing for connection to the header; and a flow directing element having a fluid inlet end retained in the passage and a fluid outlet end. The flow-directing element has a cleaning position in which the fluid outlet end extends into the header when the first end of the housing is connected to the header. The flow-directing element is constructed to rotate about an axis that extends in the flow direction in response to a flow of liquid between the fluid inlet end and the fluid outlet end, and to eject at least one liquid stream from the fluid outlet end in a direction transverse to the flow direction.
