Abstract: In a machine for extracorporeal blood treatment, a syringe pump (4) for infusion of an anticoagulant comprises a support (5) for the syringe, a pusher (6), a sensor of the pushing force of the pusher (6), and a control unit (8) for guiding the pusher (6) in accordance with the force measured by the sensor. The support comprises a series of interchangeable gripping elements (9), each of which defines a housing for a syringe having a different diameter, the housing having a longitudinal axis which, for all of the interchangeable gripping elements in the series, is always in the same position in relation to the pusher. The invention provides a dialysis machine with a pump that is easily and rapidly adaptable for syringes over a wide range of sizes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated blood treatment module (1) comprising a support element (4) and a fluid distribution circuitry associated thereto; the distribution circuitry comprises at least a blood line (44), a portion of which is secured to the support element and defines with the latter at least a U-shaped tube length (44a) designed to cooperate, when in use, with a respective pump (3a). There are then further fluid lines (45, 48, 50, 51) fastened to the support element and defining each at least a U-shaped tube length (45a, 48a, 50a, 51a) with respect to said element and each designed to cooperate, when in use, with a respective pump (3b, 3c, 3d, 3e). The support element has a first zone (274) in which the portion of the blood line is secured, and at least a second zone (275) opposite said first zone, to which all the corresponding further tube lengths are fastened.

Abstract: The joint (36) comprises a tubular body (37) having two connecting zones (38, 39) each connected by an end to a tubular element (40) of a fluid transport line, giving continuity to passage of fluid. The tubular body is made of a mixture of an electrically-conductive material such as PVC, with carbon black to give it electrical conductivity. The joint has an internal surface (41) which is destined to come into contact with the transported fluid, and an external surface which is destined to have a grounded galvanic contact. The joint is inserted in the discharge fluid drainage line of a dialyzer filter, in an apparatus for intensive treatment of acute renal insufficiency, for eliminating ECG artefacts due to functioning of peristaltic pumps in the apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to support element (4) comprising a main body (6) having a front wall (25) and a peripheral wall (32) projecting away from the front wall. The front wall and the peripheral wall define a housing compartment (33) designed to receive a fluid distribution circuitry cooperating with a treatment unit for defining an integrated blood treatment module.

Abstract: The invention relates to an extracorporeal blood treatment machine in which a blood circuit (3) is equipped with an inlet line leading to a filtration unit (2) and with an outlet line (3b) from the filtration unit; a fluid circuit comprises an inlet line (4a) leading to the filtration unit and an outlet line (4b) from the filtration unit so as to allow a fluid taken from a primary container (5) to circulate within the filtration unit, thus enabling the treatment of the patient's blood. There is further an infusion line (6) acting on the outlet line of the blood circuit, which is supplied by an auxiliary fluid container (7). The inlet line of the fluid circuit is equipped with at least an infusion branch (8) acting on the outlet line of the blood circuit so as to enable the intensive therapy machine to manage therapies with large exchange of fluids.

Abstract: The support device for bags, applicable in machines for extracorporeal blood treatment or in machines for renal failure treatment, comprises a base body (2) and a support element (3) associated to the base body in such a way as to be displaceable with respect to the base body between at least one operative loading position and an operative work position. In particular the support element is telescopically engaged to the base body and is slidable along a predetermined movement direction (4). The special configuration of the support device enables an easy loading of the machine and a subsequent optimal control of the machine stability.
