Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a medical treatment apparatus which includes at least one port, a device for closing, a compressed-air source and a control device and/or closed-loop control device. The port serves to establish fluid communication between at least one fluid line of the treatment apparatus associated with the interior of a treatment apparatus and a connector of a fluid line of a disposable associated with the exterior of the treatment apparatus. The sealing device is designed as a rinsing cap and serves to seal an interior of the port with respect to an exterior of the treatment apparatus. The compressed-air source is used to introduce air into the port along at least one sterile-air line. The control device and/or closed-loop control device is programmed to cause the compressed-air source to build-up and/or maintain a predetermined minimum overpressure in the sterile-air line, the compressed-air source and/or inside the port.

Abstract: The invention relates to an access system 1 for a medical device, which system has a housing body 21 in which an inner pipe portion 22 for transporting a medical fluid is formed, which portion is enclosed by an outer pipe portion 24 so as to form an empty space 23 for receiving a disinfectant fluid, the housing body 21 having an opening 25 that can be closed by a closure element. The access system 1 according to the invention is characterised in that a measuring electrode 30 and at least one counter electrode 31, 32 are arranged in the housing body 21 such that the measuring electrode 30 interacts with the counter electrode via the empty space 23. The measuring electrode 30 allows an electrical signal to be input such that a current flowing between the measuring electrode and the counter electrode or a voltage applied between the measuring electrode and the counter electrode can be evaluated.

Abstract: The invention relates to an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus comprising a blood treatment unit 1 that is divided by a semipermeable membrane 2 into a first compartment 3, which is part of a fluid system II, and a second compartment 4, which is part of an extracorporeal blood circuit I. The invention also relates to a method for operating a blood treatment apparatus of this kind. The blood treatment apparatus according to the invention has a pressure-based checking device 32 which interacts with the control unit 31 for a valve device 21 and is designed such that a fluid connection between an upstream portion 20A and a downstream portion 20B of a flow path 20 for a special operating mode can only be established if the pressure-based checking device 32 detects an operating state in which it is ensured that fluid in the flow path 20 for a special operating mode flows towards a flow path 10 leading to a drain 11.

Abstract: A method for venting a dialyzer which has a dialyzate chamber, a blood chamber and a semi-permeable dialyzer membrane separating these two chambers. An overpressure is generated in the dialyzate chamber with respect to the blood chamber for removing air inclusions lying at the surface of the membrane at the dialyzate chamber side after a filling of the dialyzate chamber and before a filling of the blood chamber.

Abstract: A dialysis machine has a dialyzer (D), a water inlet system for supplying the dialyzer (D) with fresh dialysis fluid which is connected to the dialyzer and an external water supply and with a line for used dialysis fluid, which is in communication with the dialyzer (D). The water inlet system includes a container for water or other liquid, in particular for RO water. The dialysis machine includes a heat exchanger connected with the line for used dialysis fluid and with the water inlet system so that heat is transferred from the used dialysis fluid to the liquid present in the water inlet system. The container includes means for physical separation of the external water supply and the downstream portions of the water inlet system, preferably a free-fall path for incoming liquid from the water supply, and the heat exchanger is arranged downstream of the container.

Abstract: A container for dialysis concentrates, in particular acidic dry concentrates, has integral supporting elements. When these dry concentrates are dissolved directly by a dialysis machine to form liquid concentrates, the container must provide a volume of 4-12 liters. To impart the required stability to the container, the container includes the integral supporting elements, which manifest their supporting function only when the container is used on the dialysis machine.
