    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to at least one reusable module of a sorbent cartridge in a sorbent dialysis system. One of the drawbacks of a conventional sorbent dialysis system is the high cost. In one aspect of the invention, the sorbent cartridge contains at least one module for optionally recharging sorbent materials in-line, including zirconium phosphate, with an optional bypass and conduits for the sorbent cartridge. The sorbent cartridge can have two or more modules that are connected to one another through connectors. The modules can be reusable and the sorbent materials contained in the modules can be recharged, which reduce the cost of the sorbent dialysis system.

    Abstract: A venous air capture chamber for use in dialysis, includes an upwardly extending fluid inlet terminating in first and second fluid inlet ports (102). The first and second fluid inlet ports (102) are opposedly positioned on the fluid inlet at an angle of about 180°. The venous air capture chamber also includes a fluid outlet (104) at the bottom of the chamber body. The venous air capture chamber provides improved fluid dynamics, reducing both stagnant flow and turbulence. The venous air capture chamber also provides for bidirectional flow of fluid through the chamber.

    Abstract: The invention relates to infusate containers and related systems and methods for housing infusates that can be added to a fluid flow path for use during dialysis. The infusate containers can include a filter partitioning the containers into a first and second compartment, a draw tube for drawing up fluid from a bottom portion, a cap, a fluid connector for delivery and withdrawal of fluid from the two compartments, and a fluid connector for connection to a dialysis system.

    Abstract: An arterial air capture chamber (101) is used in dialysis. The arterial air capture chamber (101) includes an upwardly extending fluid inlet (102) terminating in a fluid inlet port (105) positioned at about a 90° turn relative to a fluid flow of a fluid inlet tube (107). The arterial air capture chamber (101) includes a draw tube (104) with an opposedly positioned beveled opening (306) at about 180° relative to the fluid inlet port (105). The arterial air capture chamber (101) provides improved fluid dynamics, reducing both stagnant flow and turbulence. The arterial air capture chamber (101) also provides for bidirectional flow of fluid through the arterial air capture chamber (101).

    Abstract: A flow loop for hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration and hemofiltration for the treatment of pathological conditions such as End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD having a controlled compliant flow path for preparing fluids required for a hemodialysis therapy session from water. The controlled compliant flow path modifies water into any one of a solution for priming a hemodialysis system, a physiologically compatible solution for contacting blood, a physiologically compatible solution for infusion to a subject, and a solution for blood rinse back to a subject; the controlled compliant flow path having a means for selectively metering in and metering out fluid from the flow path.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing the sodium concentration of a dialysate fluid during hemodialysis therapy and adjusting sodium concentration using a sodium management system to generate a sodium-modified fluid. The systems and methods also provide a mechanism for controlled addition of sodium ions to the dialysate to generate a predetermined total sodium concentration in a dialysate.
