Disposable container for real-time dialysate production
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11951241B2) discloses a disposable consumable container designed to produce dialysate solution in real-time. The container features a sterile interface connection for coupling to a source of sterile water, a concentrate container containing pre-sterilized dialysate concentrates, a mixing chamber for mixing the sterile water with the concentrates, and an automated cycler to pump mixtures into the mixing chamber and feed the produced dialysis fluid to and from a patient. The mixing chamber is designed to elevate fluid to patient temperature and comprises thermally conductive, flexible sheets to promote mixing and heating. Additionally, the container includes tubing sections for pump action, sensors to measure properties of the dialysis fluid, and a conductivity sensor to monitor fluid quality in real-time.
Furthermore, the disposable consumable container includes a dialyzer within the automated cycler to allow for waste clearance from the dialysis fluid to a patient effluent solution. The concentrate container contains acid powder, bicarb powder, and glucose, along with other concentrates to create necessary gradients for peritoneal dialysis. Moreover, high molecular weight substances are included in the concentrate container to minimize their transfer into the patient, showcasing a comprehensive and innovative approach to dialysis treatment. The patent highlights a sophisticated system that ensures real-time production of dialysis fluid, monitoring of fluid quality, and efficient waste clearance, ultimately enhancing the dialysis process for patients.
