Abstract
The present specification discloses a dialysis system having a reservoir module with a reservoir housing defining an internal space, a surface located within the internal space for supporting a container that contains dialysate, and a conductivity sensor located within the internal space, where the conductivity sensor has a coil, a capacitor in electrical communication with the coil, and an energy source in electrical communication with the circuit.
Claims21
A reservoir module for use in a portable dialysis system comprising:
- a. A reservoir housing having four sides, a base, and a top, wherein said four sides, base surface, and top surface define an internal space;
- b. A surface located within said internal space for supporting a container adapted to contain dialysate;
- and
- c. A conductivity sensor located within said internal space, wherein said conductivity sensor comprises a coil having a plurality of turns, a capacitor in electrical communication with said coil, wherein said coil and capacitor define a circuit, and an energy source in electrical communication with said circuit.
