Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a dialysis concentrate dispensing system and a dynamic dispensing control method. Background Art

[0002] Dialysate composition directly impacts the clinical condition and prognosis of hemodialysis patients. Individual differences exist among hemodialysis patients, especially for specialized patients. Dialysate prescriptions require continuous refinement and updating as their condition progresses to achieve physiological electrolyte and acid-base balance. Using personalized dialysis fluid prescriptions can reduce the incidence of dialysis complications. Providing dialysis fluids with varying ion concentrations reflects the quality of a hospital's dialysis treatment and is a crucial component of personalized clinical treatment. It also addresses the fluid supply requirements for home hemodialysis. The company is developing hemodialysis concentrates with personalized dialysis formulas.

[0003] At the same time, the transportation, storage and packaging costs of the concentrate under the existing model are high, and the changes in the physical and chemical properties of the electrolytes during storage and transportation will lead to a decline in dialysis quality (such as the precipitation of sodium bicarbonate crystals); there is a risk of concentrate contamination during centralized liquid supply and transportation. Existing hemodialysis products on the market are all filled in plastic barrels, and require the use of a dedicated hemodialysis machine to complete the configuration process. The containers used are all hard plastic barrels, which are easily damaged during transportation, and because the barrel body is heavy, it has a certain impact on the patient's mobility. When using dialysis powder or dialysis concentrate, the dialysis powder or concentrate still needs to be transferred to a new container and diluted with water, which causes problems such as easy contamination and inconvenience in use. The new container will also increase the cost. Summary of the Invention
