Abstract
A dialyzer control apparatus includes a magnetic field generator which is disposed on an outer surface of a dialyzer which removes wastes from a blood flowing therein and generates a magnetic field; and a controller which controls the magnetic field generator to perform a magnetic field stimulation on the blood flowing into the dialyzer. The magnetic field stimulation may be a stimulation related to the improvement of the Rouleaux formation for the red blood cells in the blood.
Claims20
A dialyzer control apparatus, comprising:
- a magnetic field generator which is disposed on an outer surface of a dialyzer which removes wastes from a blood flowing therein to discharge and generates a magnetic field;
- and
- a controller which controls the magnetic field generator to perform a magnetic field stimulation on the blood flowing into the dialyzer,
- wherein the magnetic field stimulation includes a stimulation related to inhibition of Rouleaux formation for red blood cells in the blood, and
- wherein the magnetic field generator includes one pair of magnetic field generators disposed to be opposite to each other with a circumference of the dialyzer therebetween and when there is a plurality of pairs of magnetic field generators disposed to be opposite to each other with the circumference, the controller controls the type of the magnetic field generated from each of the plurality of pairs of magnetic field generators to be different from each other.
A dialyzer control apparatus, comprising:
- a magnetic field generator which is disposed on an outer surface of a dialyzer which removes wastes from a blood flowing therein to discharge and generates a magnetic field;
- a hemoglobin level measuring unit which measures a hemoglobin level of red blood cells in the blood flowing into the dialyzer;
- and
- a controller which controls the magnetic field generator to perform a magnetic field stimulation on the blood flowing into the dialyzer,
- wherein the magnetic field stimulation is a stimulation related to inhibition of Rouleaux formation for red blood cells in the blood,
- wherein the controller controls at least one of an intensity, a frequency, a time, and a stimulation mode of the magnetic field as a type of the magnetic field generated from the magnetic field generator, and
- wherein the controller changes a type of the magnetic field from a first type to a second type depending on whether the measured hemoglobin level is equal to or lower than a predetermined reference level.
A dialyzer control apparatus, comprising:
- a magnetic field generator which is disposed on an outer surface of a dialyzer which removes wastes from a blood flowing therein to discharge and generates a magnetic field;
- a core temperature measuring unit which measures a core temperature of the magnetic field generator;
- and
- a controller which controls the magnetic field generator to perform a magnetic field stimulation on the blood flowing into the dialyzer,
- wherein the magnetic field stimulation is a stimulation related to inhibition of Rouleaux formation for red blood cells in the blood,
- wherein the controller controls at least one of an intensity, a frequency, a time, and a stimulation mode of the magnetic field as a type of the magnetic field generated from the magnetic field generator, and
- wherein the controller controls the type of the magnetic field by considering whether the measured core temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference temperature.
