Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis cassette and an interface between the cassette and a peritoneal dialysis system is provided. The peritoneal dialysis cassette can include one or more fluid passages connecting a plurality of inlet/outlet ports, with one or more linear actuators usable to selectively direct fluid through the peritoneal dialysis cassette.
Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices directed to a peritoneal dialysis cassette and an interface between the cassette and a peritoneal dialysis system is provided. The peritoneal dialysis cassette can include one or more fluid flow paths connecting a plurality of inlet/outlet ports, one or more rotary valves for selectively directing fluid through the peritoneal dialysis cassette, and a pump.
Abstract: An example article includes a rigid member defining a plurality of fluid flow paths and a plurality of flexible tubes each defining a lumen and configured to be occluded via a pressure applied externally to the respective lumen and unoccluded in the absence of the externally applied pressure. Each flexible tube is configured to be fluidically connected to a flow path of the plurality of flow paths, and different fluid flow paths of the plurality of fluid flow paths are defined by occluding different flexible tubes of the plurality of flexible tubes.
Abstract: An assembly includes first and second assemblies, the first assembly including a frame defining a recess, a first plate disposed within the recess, and a bellows disposed between the first plate and an inner surface of the frame. The second assembly includes a second plate configured to be opposite the first plate when the first assembly is in a closed position relative to the second assembly. The first assembly is configured to move relative to the second assembly between an open position and the closed position, and a latch assembly configured to hold the first assembly to the second assembly in the closed position. The bellows is configured to inflate to apply a force to the first plate towards the second plate when the first assembly is in the closed position.
Abstract: A device for continuous, uninterrupted patient monitoring includes a portable, self-contained Patient Worn Hub (PWH) device. The PWH is a compact, lightweight patient monitoring device designed to remain with the patient for the duration of care. Parameter measurement devices connect to the PWH. Third party parameter measurement devices connect to the PWH via the use of a connection assembly that translates the information provided by the third party device to the protocol embedded within the PWH. The PWH is able to communicate with a bedside monitor via wired cables or wirelessly. Measured values are shown on external displays and/or on an optional integrated PWH touchscreen display. The PWH includes internal memory for storage of patient data and trends. The PWH optionally includes a docking station for providing operating and battery charging power.
