Abstract:
A medical fluid system includes a medical fluid pump; a container holding a fluid to be pumped by the medical fluid pump, the fluid at a first time having a first conductivity, the fluid at a second time having a second conductivity; and a radio frequency level sensor positioned in operable relation with the container, the radio frequency operation of the level sensor configured so as to be (i) indicative of a level of the fluid in the container and (ii) at least substantially independent of whether the fluid has the first conductivity or the second conductivity. The medical fluid system can determine the level of medical fluid by measuring the resistance, impedance or phase shift seen by the sensor.

Abstract:
A system and method for determining a concentration of total chlorine in dialysis water are provided. The system comprises a main unit housing an iodide/water sample chamber and a reducing agent chamber. An electrode pair bridges the two chambers and generates tri-iodide proportional to the amount of total chlorine in the dialysis water. The electrode pair detects the amount of tri-iodide generated in proportion to the amount of active chloride in the dialysis water. The system is suitable for use in connection with, or for incorporation into, a water purification system for generating dialysis fluid, and may include a display that alerts the user to stop or prevent a hemodialysis treatment if the total chlorine level exceeds a predetermined level.

Abstract:
Se proveen un sistema y método para determinar una concentración de cloro total en el agua de diálisis. El sistema comprende una unidad principal que aloja una cámara de yoduro/muestra de agua y una cámara de agente reductor. Un par de electrodos puentea las dos cámaras y genera triyoduro proporcional a la cantidad de calor total en el agua de diálisis. El par de electrodos detecta la cantidad de triyoduro generado en proporción a la cantidad de cloruro activo en el agua de diálisis. El sistema es apropiado para uso en conexión con, o para incorporación en, un sistema de purificación de agua para generar fluido de diálisis, y puede incluir una pantalla que alerta al usuario a detener o evitar un tratamiento de hemodiálisis si el nivel de cloro total excede un nivel predeterminado.
Abstract:
Es werden ein System und Verfahren zum Bestimmen einer Konzentration von Gesamtchlor in Dialysewasser bereitgestellt. Das System umfasst ein Haupteinheitsgehäuse, eine Jodid/Wasserprobekammer und eine Reduktionsmittelkammer. Ein Elektrodenpaar überbrückt die zwei Kammern und erzeugt Tri-Jodid proportional zur Menge an Gesamtchlor im Dialysewasser. Das Elektrodenpaar weist die Menge an erzeugtem Tri-Jodid anteilig zur Menge an aktivem Chlorid im Dialysewasser nach. Das System ist zur Verwendung in Verbindung mit oder zur Eingliederung in ein Wasserreinigungssystem zum Erzeugen von Dialysefluid geeignet und kann eine Anzeige enthalten, die den Anwender darauf hinweist, eine Hämodialysebehandlung zu stoppen oder zu verhindern, wenn der Gesamtchlorpegel einen vorbestimmten Pegel überschreitet.
