    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing lipid particles that have a desired particle diameter, the method comprising: (A) a step for preparing, in a first mixing region, a primary dilution by mixing a first solution containing a lipid and an alcohol with a second solution containing water; (B) a step for feeding the primary dilution from the first mixing region to a second mixing region through a liquid feed pipe within a prescribed time; and (C) a step for preparing a secondary dilution by mixing the primary dilution with a third solution containing water in the second mixing region, wherein the steps (A)-(C) are continuously carried out, and the particle diameter of the lipid particles is controlled by adjusting at least one condition selected from the group consisting of the concentration of the alcohol and the concentration of the lipid in the primary dilution, the prescribed time, and the temperature during mixing.

    Abstract: An apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment, comprising a treatment unit (2) having a first chamber (3) and a second chamber (4) separated from one another by a semipermeable membrane (5), a blood removal line (6) connected in inlet with the first chamber (3) and a blood return line (7) connected in outlet with the first chamber; an infusion line (9;9a, 9b) of a replacement fluid and a fluid evacuation line (10) connected in outlet from the second chamber. A regulating device (20) of a transmembrane pressure is active on at least one of the lines and a control unit (15) is configured to: command the regulating device (20) by setting a first increase (δTMP1), determine a value of a control parameter (φ1) corresponding to the first increase, compare the value of the control parameter (φ1) with a reference value (φref) and, if the value of the control parameter is greater than the reference value, command the regulating device (20) by setting a second increase (δTMP2) which is greater than the first increase (δTMP1).

    Abstract: A platform has a filter system with a first set of filter modules and a second set of filter modules that is different from the first set of filter modules. Each set of filter modules includes an inflow channel and an outflow channel. A fluid inlet is connected to the first set of filter modules, a fluid outlet is connected to the second set of filter modules, and a separation interface separates the first and second sets of filter modules. The separation interface has a first interface channel to connect to the module outflow channel of the first set of filter modules, and a second interface channel to connect to the module inflow channel of the second set of filter modules. The filter system receives fluid through the fluid inlet and, after the fluid has passed through each set of filter modules, discharges the fluid through the fluid outlet.

    Abstract: An example peritoneal dialysis system is disclosed. The example peritoneal dialysis system includes an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine comprising a pumping mechanism and a peritoneal dialysis fluid heater. The example peritoneal dialysis system also includes a disposable set comprising a disposable cassette operable with the pumping mechanism and a heater bag operable with the heater. The example peritoneal dialysis system additionally includes a conductivity sensor positioned and arranged to provide feedback to the APD machine. The example APD machine is configured to mix a peritoneal dialysis fluid for treatment in the heater bag using a plurality of peritoneal dialysis constituent fluids. In addition, the example APD machine is configured to use feedback from the conductivity sensor to evaluate the mixed peritoneal dialysis fluid for treatment.
