METHODS FOR ENTERING OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS INTO ARTIFICIAL KIDNEY AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING HEMODIALYSIS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medical devices. SUBSTANCE: device has dialysis filter and operates according to parameters that alter in time, for example, alternating volume of ultrafiltration. Respective methods involve setting required duration, fixed total value of parameter, such as given ultrafiltration volume, and expected parameter time alteration, which is designed as sequence of coordinates in region clipped by Y axis with values of parameter and X axis which corresponds to time. Chart shows incremental alteration of parameter. If total value according to chart is not equal to given total value, then position of expected parameter time alteration is changed in order to make these total values equal. Then device operates according to altered chart in order to reach given entered total value for given period of time. Corresponding device has assembly for circulation of dialysis solution in dialysis chamber of artificial kidney and device for carrying out-of-body blood circulation. Goal of invention is achieved by introduced computer system. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 10 cl, 41 dwg
