  • Device for carrying out a peritoneal dialysis treatment
    Patent number: 8500676
    Abstract: A device and a method for a peritoneal dialysis treatment having several cycles include a cycler controlled by a processor. The cycler fills the abdominal cavity with dialysis fluid, and drains the abdominal cavity. A sensor senses a variable related to the draining of the dialysis fluid. The draining is interrupted when the variable reaches a breakpoint at which the variable is radically changed, thereby leaving the residual volume of fluid.

  • DEVICE FOR CARRYING A PERITONEAL DIALYSIS TREATMENT
    Publication number: 20100137782
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device and a method for a peritoneal dialysis treatment in several cycles. A cycler (1) controlled by a processor (31) fills the abdominal cavity with dialysis fluid, and drains the abdominal cavity. A sensor (37) senses a variable related to the draining of the dialysis fluid. The draining is interrupted when the variable reaches a breakpoint at which the variable is radically changed, thereby leaving the residual volume.

  • System for the remote monitoring of patients
    Patent number: 6746398
    Abstract: System for monitoring patients at home comprising interface means at the patient's home, interface means at a doctor's surgery, a server linked by a network such as a telephone network to the interface means at the patient's home and to the interface means at the doctor's surgery, the said server receiving from the interface means at the patient's home, values of physiological parameters measured by the patient or by sensors and comprising means for storing a history, corresponding to a certain period of time, regarding the values of physiological parameters which are transmitted thereto, the said server furthermore comprising means for implementing a processing on the values of physiological parameters transmitted by the patient with a view to their presentation and to the presentation of their changes on the interface means at the doctor's surgery, characterized in that the said means implement on the latest values of physiological parameters which are transmitted to the server
