Abstract
A fluidic cartridge for use with a dialysis system, a method of manufacturing the fluidic cartridge, a dialysis machine and a method of operating the dialysis machine with the fluidic cartridge. The fluidic cartridge has a data storage unit, the data storage unit stores data relating to one or more physical properties of the cartridge. A cartridge for use in a portable dialysis machine and a portable dialysis machine. The cartridge has a data storage unit, the data storage unit stores data relating to sterilisation of the cartridge.
Claims19
A fluidic cartridge for use with a dialysis machine, the fluidic cartridge comprising:
- a readable, writable, and non-volatile data storage unit storing data for use by the dialysis machine,
- wherein the data stored on the readable, writable, and non-volatile data storage unit includes one or more actual size dimension values of conductivity cells of the fluidic cartridge including deviations from nominal values of the one or more actual size dimension values of the conductivity cell of the fluidic cartridge as a result of manufacturing tolerances applied during manufacture of the fluidic cartridge, the data stored on the readable, writable, and non-volatile data storage unit identifies dialysate composition requirements for a particular patient,
- wherein the one or more actual size dimension values correspond to actual cross-sectional area of the conductivity cell, the conductivity of dialysate solution in the conductivity cell is measurable using the actual cross-sectional area of the conductivity cell and is comparable to the identified dialysate composition requirements for the particular patient.
