Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for monitoring a state of a blood line in a circuit for extracorporeal blood treatment, including the steps of: acquiring at least a first pressure value from a first sensor mounted at a first point of a circuit for extracorporeal blood treatment, comprising a blood line in which the blood is subjected to a pulsating thrust; acquiring at least a second pressure value from a second sensor mounted at a second point, distinct from the first point of the blood line of the circuit for extracorporeal blood treatment, and correlating at least a first value, correlated to the first pressure value, and at least a second value, correlated to the second pressure value, with at least a threshold value, in order to obtain a datum representing a state of the blood line.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for detecting a presence of a partial or total occlusion in a blood line in a circuit for extracorporeal blood treatment, comprising: acquiring at least a first pressure value from a first sensor mounted at a first point of the circuit for extracorporeal blood treatment, said circuit a blood line in which the blood is subjected to a pulsating thrust and a blood treatment device arranged in the blood line, wherein a peristaltic pump is arrange…
