Abstract
System involved with but not limited to an apparatus including a non-permanent, interchangeable, standalone console assembly for the portable provision of power, water, and drainage infrastructure for medical equipment, including, but not limited to various types of dialysis and other medical treatments. Embodiments of the present disclosure also include numerous redundancies designed to allow for continued medical treatment in the event of a failure of one or more utility subsystems.
Claims19
A portable biomedical utilities system for use with dialysis equipment comprising:
- a plurality of modular cabinets housing power, data, and plumbing subsystems wherein the subsystems of each modular cabinet are functionally connected to respective power, data, and plumbing subsystems of at least one other modular cabinet, said subsystems including:
- a. a power subsystem of a first modular cabinet capable of receiving power from an external source, powering the components of said first modular cabinet and a first dialyzer, and conveying power to a second modular cabinet;
- b. a second power subsystem of a second modular cabinet capable of receiving power from a first modular cabinet powering the components of said second modular cabinet and powering the components of a second dialyzer, and conveying power to another modular cabinet;
- c. a data subsystem of each modular cabinet capable of receiving and transmitting data to and from an external data system and other modular cabinets;
- and
- d. a plumbing subsystem of each modular cabinet comprising:
- i. a fresh water conduit capable of communicating fresh water from an external source or another modular cabinet, and to another cabinet and a dialyzer;
- and
- ii. a wastewater conduit provided in fluid communication with a dialyzer and capable of receiving dialysis wastewater, wherein:
- a height and a slope of said wastewater conduit is configured by setting the height of the conduit at a plurality of locations along said wastewater conduit such that the wastewater conduits of a relay line of modular cabinets are capable of conveying wastewater via a sloping conduit comprising the wastewater conduits of a plurality of modular cabinets, wherein said sloping conduit slopes toward an external drain.
