Abstract
An intelligent automatic peritoneal dialysis device injects a dialysate accommodated in a dialysate container into a live animal via an input duct, elicits a waste liquid from the animal via an output duct, and concentrates the waste liquid in a waste liquid container. A flow direction control valve controls the flow direction of the dialysate and the waste liquid during the overall peritoneal dialysis treatment process.
Claims10
An intelligent automatic peritoneal dialysis device for delivering adialysate accommodated in a dialysate container into a live animal and removing a waste liquid from the animal into a waste liquid container, the intelligent automatic peritoneal dialysis device comprising:
- a flow direction control valve for controlling a flow direction of the dialysate and the waste liquid, the flow direction control valve having a first valve, a second valve and a third valve;
- an input duct connected to a dialysate container and the first valve, wherein the input duct causes dialysate flow from the dialysate container into the flow direction control valve;
- an output duct connected to a waste liquid container and the second valve, wherein the output duct causes waste liquid flow from the flow direction control valve into the waste liquid container;
- a communication duct having a first end directly connected to the input duct and a second end directly connected to the output duct, wherein the third valve is disposed in the communication duct, the first valve is in fluid communication with the dialysate container without passing through any of the second valve and the third valve, the second valve is in fluid communication with the waste liquid container without passing through any of the first valve and the third valve, and the third valve is in fluid communication with the dialysate container and the waste liquid container without passing through any of the first valve and the second valve;
- a first motor disposed between the dialysate container and the input duct such that the dialysate may flow from the dialysate container to the input duct by operation of the first motor;
- and
- a second motor disposed between the waste liquid container and the output duct such that the waste liquid may flow from the output duct to the waste liquid container by operation of the second motor;
- a first duct directly connected to the first valve and capable of being connected to the animal;
- and
- a second duct connected to the second valve and capable of being connected to the animal.
