Abstract
A module for optionally recharging sorbent materials in-line, including zirconium phosphate, with an optional bypass and conduits for a sorbent cartridge. The sorbent cartridge can have one or more modules contained therein having connectors connecting each of the modules. One or more of the modules can be reusable and the sorbent materials therein recharged.
Claims38
A sorbent cartridge, comprising:
- at least one reusable module having one or more connectors fluidly connectable to any part of a fluid flow path selected from any one of a wash line, a bypass line or a fluid line;
- wherein the wash line is optionally fluidly connectable to a recharger;
- wherein the bypass line is optionally fluidly connectable to another module;
- and
- wherein the fluid line is optionally fluidly connectable to any portion of a dialysis circuit.
2 more elements
A fluid circuit, comprising:
- at least two modules connected by one or more connectors in series;
- an operational line directing flow along the connectors and through the modules;
- a wash line fluidly connecting one or more connectors to a recharger;
- and
- a bypass line to bypass the modules and operational line.
