Abstract
Interface device between a hemodialysis machine and venous and arterial tubes, this interface device comprising: a first port adapted to be connected to an output port of the hemodialysis machine; a venous port to inject blood into the venous tube; said interface device comprises: a second port adapted to be connected to an input port of the hemodialysis machine; an arterial port for receiving blood from the patient from the arterial tube, the interface device being further adapted to selectively allow or prohibit the passage of blood between the first and second ports and the venous and arterial ports respectively.
Claims14
Interface device between a hemodialysis machine and at least one venous tube intended to be connected to a patient's circulatory system for transferring blood from the hemodialysis machine to the circulatory system, this interface device comprising:
- a first port adapted to be connected to an output port of the hemodialysis machine;
- a venous port to inject blood into the venous tube;
- the interface device being adapted to selectively adopt a first configuration in which the passage of blood between the first port and the venous port is prohibited and a second configuration in which the first port is connected to the venous port to allow blood to pass from the first port to the venous porter), characterized in that the interface device is also adapted to form an interface between the hemodialysis machine and an arterial tube for connection to said patient's circulatory system to transfer blood from the circulatory system to the hemodialysis machine, said interface device also comprising:
- a second port adapted to be connected to an input port of the hemodialysis machine;
- an arterial port for receiving blood from the patient via the arterial tube, the interface de-vice being further adapted to prohibit the passage of blood between the second port and the arterial portwhen the device is in its first configuration and to allow the passage of blood between the second port and the arterial port when the device is in its second configuration.
