ARTIFICIAL KIDNEY APPARATUS

Japanese Patent JPH09618

A

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conduct a hemodialysis in a shortened time for a patient, by communicating the outlet of a temperature regulating mixing valve to a water filtrating unit and by supplying water to a liquid path from the water filtrating unit to a water supply inlet of an artificial kidney. SOLUTION: A water pretreatment module 20 equipped with a demountable circuit is connected to a home water supply source which supplies hot water and cooling water. Hot water and cooling water are supplied from the home water supply source to a temperature regulating valve 36, the water is mixed here, kept at a given temperature in an outlet path 37 and sent to a water filtrating unit 40 through a water pressure regulating valve 38 and a manual operating valve 39. The filtrated water is supplied from the water filtrating unit 40 through an outlet 50 to a supplying inlet 52 of the artificial kidney through a demountable hose 54. The effluent from the artificial kidney apparatus 22 is sent to a drainage 60 of the home apparatus through a drain path 62 and a check valve CV3. By this apparatus, a hemodialysis to a patient can be conducted in a short time, and a labor and a cost of consumable can be reduced.
