    Abstract: Ultrafiltration (UF) is monitored in a weight-based system for extracorporeal blood treatment. The system comprises a container holding a fluid that is pumped to or from a dialyzer by a pump. The container is intermittently refilled or drained by an adjustment arrangement during a level adjustment period (LAP). A scale measures the weight of the container. A monitoring device is operated to determine, before and after the LAP while the adjustment arrangement is deactivated and the pump is operated at a known setting, first and second values of a parameter of the pump based on a weight signal from the scale. The parameter may be flow rate or stroke volume. The monitoring device estimates a time profile for the parameter during the LAP based on the first and second values and determines the UF parameter based on the time profile.

    Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis system includes a control unit configured to (i) store a sleep state pattern for the patient, (ii) begin a patient drain followed by a patient fill when at least one sensor indicates that the patient is in a deep sleep state, (iii) extend a dwell period if the sleep state pattern indicates that the patient will enter a subsequent deep sleep state within a first time duration after a programmed dwell period, and (iv) shorten the dwell period if the sleep state pattern indicates that the patient will leave the deep sleep state within a second time duration after an end of the programmed dwell period. The system alternatively or additionally assesses or records a stress level of and/or a fluid/caloric intake by the patient and takes actions accordingly.

    Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a PD fluid pump, a PD fluid heater positioned and arranged to heat fresh PD fluid pumped by the PD fluid pump, and a phase change material (“PCM”) device positioned and arranged to receive fresh PD fluid heated by the PD fluid heater. The PCM device includes a PCM having a melting temperature selected so that the PCM solidifies when underheated fresh PD fluid contacts the PCM transferring heat to the underheated fresh PD fluid. Alternatively or additionally, the PD system may include a different PCM device having a PCM with a melting temperature selected so that the PCM melts when overheated fresh PD fluid contacts the PCM thereby removing heat from the overheated fresh PD fluid. A configuration for the PCM device is also disclosed.

    Abstract: In an aspect, a method of manufacture of a pharmaceutically acceptable solid composition containing daptomycin includes drying an aqueous solution containing (i) water, (ii) the daptomycin, (iii) sorbitol in an amount of about 1.2 wt. % to about 9.0 wt. % of total volume of the aqueous composition and (iv) mannitol in an amount of about 0.6 wt. % to about 9.5 wt. % of total volume of the aqueous composition to form the solid composition. The drying can include a sublimation drying of about −25° C. to about 50° C. for a time period of about 15 hours to about 120 hours, most preferably about 15° C. for about 20 hours, optionally preceded and/or followed by one or more additional drying steps. Other aspects are the solid composition containing the daptomycin and also methods of treating a bacterial infection including administering a pharmaceutically acceptable product made by reconstituting the solid composition.
