Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present specification discloses a dialysis system having a reservoir module with a reservoir housing defining an internal space, a surface located within the internal space for supporting a container that contains dialysate, and a conductivity sensor located within the internal space, where the conductivity sensor has a coil, a capacitor in electrical communication with the coil, and an energy source in electrical communication with the circuit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A reservoir module for use in a portable dialysis system comprising: a reservoir housing having four sides, a base, and a top, wherein said four sides, base surface, and top surface define an internal space; a reservoir pan located within said internal space for supporting a volume of dialysate, wherein said reservoir pan is further configured as a scale to measure a weight of the volume of dialysate; and a conductivity sensor in built into a bottom surface of said…
