Abstract
A continuous renal replacement therapy device adapted to be worn on a portion of the body of a patient, including: a plurality of contoured dialyzers, which are connected in series and utilize dialysate to remove impurities from the blood of the patient; and a plurality of contoured sorbent device, which are connected in series and are for regenerating the spent dialysate.
Claims33
A continuous renal replacement therapy device, comprising:
- at least one dialyzer that utilizes a dialysate to remove impurities from the blood of a patient;
- a microprocessor configured to control a rate of ultrafiltration at the same time said at least one dialyzer is removing impurities from the blood, wherein the device is configured to allow concurrent ultrafiltration and dialysis;
- and
- at least one dialysate sorbent device for regenerating the dialysate, the entire continuous renal replacement device for being worn on the patient.
