Problems solved by technology

However, especially considering the fact that a double patient connector is only required in about 10% of cases, the additional patient connector together with the short hose is relatively expensive and only one separation can be done in total with the same hose set and connection process

Embodiment Construction

[0030] Such as figure 1 As shown, a simple embodiment of the device according to the invention is such that a sterile closure plug 1 is arranged on a cylindrical tube section 2 secured to the bottom of the protective cap 3 . The protective cover 3 is used to operate the device so that the closure plug 1 and the tube section 2 do not have to be touched during reloading of the patient connector PK.

[0031] FIG. 2 a shows the start of the reloading process of the patient connector PK as known from DE 198 14 047 C1: the button 4 of the patient connector PK is still in the sunken position due to the previous insertion of the closure plug. The tube section 2 with the new sterile closing plug 1 is inserted into the end of the patient connector PK opposite the button 4 , which is designed in the form of a socket, until the new closing plug 1 rests against the bottom of the button 4 . Next (Figure 2b), the internal thread 5 of the protective cover 3 is screwed onto the external threa...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for inserting a closure plug into a patient connector for peritoneal dialysis. In order to insert a sterile closure plug into the patient abdominal connector during disconnection of the patient connector, enabling any number of disconnection / connection procedures, a device for inserting a closure plug into a patient connector for peritoneal dialysis is proposed, which The device includes a housing in which the closure is disposed and means for transferring the closure from the device to the patient connector. With this device, a new closure can be inserted under aseptic conditions into a patient connector whose closure has already been used. In the case of a closure plug known from DE 198 14 047 C1, by inserting a new closure plug the button is also returned to the initial position by means of the insertion of the closure plug, so that the patient connector is again available for the connection and disconnection process. Multiple reloading of the patient connector by means of the closure plug is also possible in this way. This method is advantageous when costs are incurred only during the actually planned connection and separation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for inserting a closure plug into a patient connector for peritoneal dialysis. Background technique [0002] Patient connectors for peritoneal dialysis are known, for example, from EP 0 715 860 B1 or DE 198 14 047 C1. It enables a sterile connection and separation within the scope of peritoneal dialysis treatment. After the peritoneal dialysis has ended, with the aid of such a patient connector, a closure plug is inserted into the connector of the tube that enters the patient's peritoneal cavity. The access to the patient's abdominal cavity is thus sterilely closed. [0003] If the patient wishes to disconnect and reconnect the hose set, this is in principle possible without the closure plug being used. Therefore, detachment and reattachment two or more times is not possible. This problem has hitherto been solved by arranging two patient connectors, each with a closure plug, separately behind one...
