Abstract: A sterile disposable hemodiafiltration set to be connected to a dialysis machine includes a dialyzer with an extracorporeal blood path and a dialysis liquid supply line which can be connected to the dialyzer. The hemodiafiltration set includes a sterilized unit consisting of a hose connection with a sterile filter therein wherein the hose connection is arranged for connection at one end thereof to the extracorporeal path via a separate pump and provided with a three-way joint at the other end thereof for connection of the latter end between the dialysis liquid supply line and the dialyzer.

Abstract: Dialysis machine for alternatively hospital care and self-care having a touch screen (16) which can be adjusted universally and to a desired vertical position on the dialysis machine and can be locked in the desired adjusted position. As a consequence thereof, the touch screen can be arrested in a position in relation to the position of the person controlling the dialysis machine which allows the touch screen to be comfortably reached irrespective of the position of said person.

Abstract: A device in a dialysis machine for exchangeable connection of a powder cartridge (11) between an inlet (56') and an outlet (56) for liquid. The inlet and the outlet are provided in one and the other, respectively, of two jaws (12, 14), and at least one of these is guided for linear displacement towards and away from the other one for engaging the jaws with the powder cartridge (11) under connection of the inlet and the outlet to a hollow stud (18, 19; 31) on the powder cartridge positioned between the jaws for conducting liquid through the cartridge, or for interengaging of the jaws for short circuit of the inlet and the outlet.

Abstract: A device in a powder cartridge (11) for a dialysis machine (10), having an externally threaded neck (21) which can be closed by means of a screw cap (26). In this screw cap there is provided a normally closed valve (36) which can be adjusted to open position at insertion of the powder cartridge into the dialysis machine. The end wall (28) of the screw cap and the neck (21) have mutually cooperating means (25, 33) which are adapted, when the cap is screwed on, to be interengaged for preventing unscrewing of the cap, and the end wall (28) has a break connection with the rest of the screw cap to allow unscrewing of the cap only under breaking of the connection (29) between the end wall and the rest of the cap in order to separate the end wall from the cap.

Abstract: Removable inserts are disclosed for positioning within a dialysis machine in order to connect a pressure transducer to external apparatus such as a drip chamber.

Abstract: Drip chamber heads are disclosed for attachment to drip chambers in which the drip chamber head includes a vertical body, a first connector for connecting the body to a blood supply, and a drip tube disposed within the body including a depending lower portion, the upper portion of the drip tube being in communication with the first connector so that blood may be supplied to the drip chamber through the first connector and the drip tube, thereby providing the blood at an adjustable level within the drip chamber with an air filled region thereabove, a second connector disposed at the upper portion of the body for communicating with the air filled region of the drip chamber, and an air permeable filter disposed at the upper portion of the body between the second connector and the adjustable level of blood within the drip chamber whereby the air pressure within the air filter region of the drip chamber can be sensed through the second connector.

Abstract: Coupling components are disclosed for coupling together tubes and the like including male and female coupling components. The female coupling component described herein includes inner and outer tubular sections, and the inner tubular section includes an orifice having a size adapted to frictionally engage a male coupling component inserted therein. The outer tubular section is adapted to frictionally engage the outer surface of the inner tubular section, and the outer tubular section is substantially rigid, while the inner tubular section is substantially flexible as compared to the outer tubular section, so that axial movement of the outer tubular section when it is being coupled to the male coupling component carries the inner tubular section therewith.
