  • Patent number: 12059658
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semipermeable membranes which are suitable for blood purification, e.g. by hemodialysis, which have an increased ability to remove larger molecules while at the same time effectively retaining albumin. The membranes are characterized by a molecular retention onset (MWRO) of between 9.0 kD and 14.5 kD and a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of between 55 kD and 130 kD as determined by dextran sieving curves and can be prepared by industrially feasible processes excluding a treatment with salt before drying. The invention therefore also relates to a process for the production of the membranes and to their use in medical applications.

  • Patent number: 12059657
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dialyzer comprising a bundle of semipermeable hollow fiber membranes which is suitable for blood purification, wherein the dialyzer has an increased ability to remove larger molecules while at the same time it is able to effectively remove small uremic toxins and efficiently retain albumin and larger proteins. The invention also relates to using said dialyzer in hemodialysis.

  • Publication number: 20060102385
    Abstract: In order to protect a printed circuit board (1, 1?) especially against the development of heat by simple means, said printed circuit board includes strip conductors for electronic circuits and connections for a voltage supply unit equipped with at least one SMD-component and additional electronic and/or electromechanical parts that are soldered in a suitable manner. The voltage supply unit is connected to one or several supplying strip conductors (2). At least one of the supplying strip conductors (2) includes a break to this end which is bridged in a conductive manner by means of a fuse bridge (6), said fuse bridge (6) containing or being made of a basic material, the melting point of which is lower than the melting point of the material of which the strip conductors are made.
