Abstract: The present invention is a medical ultrasound device in which an ultrasound pulse is irradiated to a treatment or examination region, provided with ultrasound-wave irradiating means, signal receiving means for receiving a reflected wave of the ultrasound irradiated from the ultrasound irradiating means, signal recording means (memory) for recording a received signal, and comparing means (comparison operation element) for comparing a recorded signal and the received signal. By the device of the present invention, an appropriate treatment or examination position can be checked with high reproducibility.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for preparing a fluid for a medical procedure by mixing of at least one medicament in the form of powder with water, the medicament is held in a vessel which defines a bottom, a side wall, and a top opening which is closed by an membrane for sealing the inside of the vessel. The apparatus includes an opener for opening the membrane of the vessel.

Abstract: The invention provides a dialysate solution preparing apparatus for preparing a dialysate solution by mixing a powder dialysate medicament with water, in particular RO water. The dialysate solution preparing apparatus has a partition wall defining an accommodation chamber for accommodating a the container filled with the powder dialysate medicament. A container holder, provided in the accommodation chamber, holds the container at an inverted orientation where an opening of the container is disposed at the down side. A tank is provided under the holding means. After a cutter cuts the sealing member so that the powder dialysate medicament falls from the container, the water is applied to the powder dialysate medicament through a nozzle. The solution of the water and the powder dialysate medicament is supplied to the tank through a conduit.

Abstract: An apparatus for preparing dialysis liquid includes a container holder 112 for holding an inverted container 102, the container having a tubular body portion which accommodates a powder preparation, a bottom wall, and a sealing member for closing an outlet opening defined at the end of the tubular body portion opposite to the bottom wall. The apparatus also includes a movable cutter 118 for cutting the sealing member, a mesh member 116, horizontally disposed above the tank, for receiving the powder preparation from the container 102, and a nozzle 120 for applying water to the powder preparation which has fallen on the mesh member after the sealing member is cut by the cutter 118. The water and powder are received in a concentrated liquid tank 114a provided under the container holder 112, and the concentrated liquid is diluted with a diluting water as it is supplied to the dialyzer 160.

Abstract: An apparatus for preparing dialysis liquid which includes a container holder 112 for holding a container 102 in the inverted state, the container having a tubular body portion which defines an internal volume for accommodating powder preparation for preparing dialysis liquid, a bottom wall defined at an end of the tubular body portion, and a sealing member for closing an outlet opening defined at the end of the tubular body portion opposite to the bottom wall, a cutter 118, movable toward and away from the sealing member, for cutting the sealing member, a concentrated liquid tank 114a provided under the container holder 112, a mesh member 116, horizontally disposed above the tank, for receiving the powder preparation which has fallen from the container 102, a nozzle 120 for applying water to the powder preparation, for preparing dialysis liquid, which has fallen on the mesh member from the container after the sealing member is cut by the cutter 118.
