Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 A medical fluid generation system 100 is shown having a fluid generation machine 102 that custom generates a medical fluid and then fills a reusable fluid container 104 with the generated medical fluid. The fluid generating machine 102 mixes water from a water source with solutes from a liquid solute source 110 and / or from a solid solute source 112 available to the machine. Fluid generating machine 102 includes two or more filters 106 that filter water / solute solutions. Filter 106 can be, for example, a polysulfone filter, such as available from Fresenius, Waltham MA filter and / or dialyzer. This filtration produces a medical fluid with 10 -6 CFU / ml (colony forming units / ml) or less and 0.5 EU / ml (endotoxin units / ml) or less, which makes the fluid suitable for infusion or other suitable medical use. While the illustrated example uses two polysulfone filters to achieve the above purities, it should be understood that any suitable number (including a single f...

Abstract

A method of preparing a medical fluid with a medical fluid generating machine includes receiving, at the medical fluid generating machine, a container to be filled with the medical fluid, receiving, at a processor, instructions to prepare the medical fluid, the instructions including an identification a medical fluid type from among a plurality of medical fluids and a desired volume of the medical fluid, preparing the medical fluid according to the received instructions, testing the prepared medical fluid to ensure that one or more characteristics of the prepared medical fluid is within an acceptable range, filling the container with the prepared fluid and labelling the container with information about the medical fluid, the information including the identification of the medical fluid type within the filled container, and an expiration date of the fluid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the generation of medical fluids and the use of reusable medical fluid bags. Background technique [0002] Saline is purified sterile aqueous solution containing 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl). Saline-like solutions can be used in a variety of self and home care solutions, from simple oral, eye and nasal care to home dialysis. The operating costs associated with making brine are often passed on to healthcare providers and home care patients. [0003] Hemodialysis treatment typically requires at least two 1-liter bags of saline to prime the blood lines at the beginning of treatment and to flush blood back into the patient at the end of treatment. On average, a hemodialysis clinic uses 21,000 bags of saline per year. Bags of saline and other fluids used for patient IV infusions, such as for peritoneal dialysis, create many waste bags and significant overhead due to inventory management, storage and order tracking. Additi...
