Self-contained treatment unit for haemodialysis treatments

Abstract

A center (10) for treating a plurality of patients by hemodialysis with a solution prepared with at least one solution of hemodialysis concentrates. The center (10) comprises a care room for patients received in a reception zone (13) and then taken over by a medical division (15) before beginning of a treatment sequence in the care room. The care unit (10) comprises a dedicated room (32) that groups the concentrate stocks; a dedicated room (33) for storing pharmaceutical products that are likely to be used by a patient before, during or after treatment; a dedicated room (34) for the management and, during failure of a network, production of electrical energy; a dedicated room (35) for storing chemicals; a dedicated room (36) for treating and/or inerting and/or eliminating the waste produced by the treatment; and a dedicated room (37) for storing technical parts to ensure equipment maintenance.

Description

TECHNICAL SCOPE[0001]This invention relates to a treatment center for treating by hemodialysis, simultaneously or successively, a plurality of patients, said center comprising at least one care unit equipped with a dialysis generator, said dialysis generator being arranged to prepare a treatment solution adapted to each of said patients of said plurality of patients, said treatment solution being prepared by dilution with hemodialysis water of at least one concentrate made of solid water-soluble compounds, said solid compounds comprising at least sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), and magnesium chloride (MgCl2).PRIOR ART[0002]The hemodialysis patient treatment centers are often integrated in a hospital or clinic, in the form of a department assigned to this treatment. It appears that these departments are structured differently according to the hospitals and that the administrative organization and the medical follow-up of the patients must b...

Benefits of technology

[0047]FIG. 4 illustrates an evolution of the concept for an adaptation to smaller or remote hemodialysis patients treatment units, which include both the structures allowing the preparation of the treatment products and the structures adapted for the treatment and follow-up of the patients. To this purpose, the schematically illustrated device 200 is made of two units 210 and 250, which are respectively assigned to products preparation and to patients care. Products preparation unit 210 comprises means 211 for receiving and storing the raw materials, a removal unit 212, a weighing 213, a preparation equipment 214, a filtration ...

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, depending on the concerned medical centers, the available space is variable, so that the ancillary services such as the storage of the basic products, the treatment of the water intended for pre...
