Embodiment Construction

[0043] Dialysis machines (eg, hemodialysis (HD) machines or peritoneal dialysis (PD) machines) are typically designed to be operated in medical facilities such as hospitals and dialysis centers, to name a few. Some dialysis machines are also designed for use in the patient's home. These environments provide the necessary resources for the proper administration of dialysis therapy. For example, clean water and electricity are readily available for use with dialysis machines; dialysate is readily available in medical facilities, and dialysate can be provided to patients for home use and storage under appropriate storage conditions.

[0044]Dialysis systems may be designed to operate in alternative environments, such as environments where clean water and electricity are scarce, dialysate is not available, or proper dialysate storage conditions do not exist. Examples of such environments may include disaster relief settlements or underdeveloped regions (eg, developing countries)....

Abstract

A dialysis system (e.g., a hemodialysis (HD) system) can be designed to operate in alternative environments, such as disaster relief settings or underdeveloped regions. The dialysis system can includea solar panel for generating electricity to power the dialysis machine and an atmospheric water generator for extracting water from ambient air. The extracted water can be used to generate dialysateand saline on-site. One or more of the components of the dialysis machine can be discrete components that are configured to facilitate fast shipping and simple on-site assembly (e.g., at a remote location). In some implementations, the discrete components may be configured to be attached to an existing dialysis system (e.g., a dialysis system designed for operation in a traditional environment) topermit the dialysis system to operate in an alternative environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to dialysis systems capable of operating in areas where resources such as clean water and electricity are scarce. Background technique [0002] Kidney dysfunction or failure and (especially) end-stage renal disease incapacitate the body's ability to remove water and minerals and excrete harmful metabolites, maintain acid-base balance, and control electrolyte and mineral concentrations within physiological ranges. Urenotoxic waste metabolites including urea, creatinine, and uric acid accumulate in body tissues, which can lead to death in humans if renal filtering function is not replaced. [0003] Dialysis is often used to replace kidney function by removing these waste toxins and excess water. In one type of dialysis treatment - hemodialysis (HD) - toxins are filtered from the patient's blood in a hemodialysis machine outside the body. Blood from the patient's body flows through the dialysis machine, separated by a semi-...
