  • Patent number: 11413382
    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for a protective-conductor connection to at least two fluid-conducting lines 11, 12, in particular to at least two fluid-conducting lines which are guided outwards from the interior of a housing 1 of a medico-technical device, in particular the housing of a blood treatment device. The circuit arrangement comprises a plurality of protection apparatuses 16A, 16B; 17A, 17B for electrical contacting which are designed such that an electrical connection to a fluid in the line can be produced using each protection apparatus for electrical contacting. In the circuit arrangement, at least two protection apparatuses 16A, 16B; 17A, 17B for electrical contacting are assigned to each fluid-conducting line 11, 12. As a result, two protective measures are taken for each fluid-conducting line.

  • Patent number: 11207513
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting piece for establishing a fluid connection between fluid-conducting lines for installation in a cut-out in a housing part of a medical device, in particular a dialysis unit. Furthermore, the invention relates to a medical device, in particular a dialysis unit, comprising a housing that comprises a housing part having a cut-out into which a connecting piece of this type is inserted. The connecting piece 13 according to the invention comprises a tubular body 18 that is made of an electrically conductive material and can be inserted into the cut-out 23 in the housing part 1A, the end pieces 19, 20 of which body are designed for the attachment of the fluid-conducting lines. The connecting piece 13 is distinguished by a terminal part 16 for attaching an electrical protective conductor or equipotential bonding system, the terminal part 16 being electrically conductively connectable or connected to the tubular body 18.
