Abstract

The invention provides a neck-worn sensor (referred to herein as the ‘necklace’) that is a single, body-worn system that measures the following parameters from an ambulatory patient: heart rate, pulse rate, pulse oximetry, respiratory rate, temperature, thoracic fluid levels, stroke volume, cardiac output, and a parameter sensitive to blood pressure called pulse transit time. From stroke volume, a first algorithm employing a linear model can estimate the patient's pulse pressure. And from pulse pressure and pulse transit time, a second algorithm, also employing a linear algorithm, can estimate systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Thus, the necklace can measure all five vital signs along with hemodynamic parameters. It also includes a motion-detecting accelerometer, from which it can determine motion-related parameters such as posture, degree of motion, activity level, respiratory-induced heaving of the chest, and falls.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to semipermeable membranes which are suitable for blood purification, e.g. by hemodialysis, which have an increased ability to remove larger molecules while at the same time effectively retaining albumin. The membranes are characterized by a molecular retention onset (MWRO) of between 9.0 kD and 14.5 kD and a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of between 55 kD and 130 kD as determined by dextran sieving curves and can be prepared by industrially feasible processes excluding a treatment with salt before drying. The invention therefore also relates to a process for the production of the membranes and to their use in medical applications.

Abstract

An automated sterile compounding dose preparation station is disclosed herein. The preparation station determines availability data based on a current working status and queued dose orders and transmits the availability data to an application server. The preparation station receives, from the application server, an inventory dose order that does not correspond to a patient when the application server determines the automated sterile compounding dose preparation station has availability based on the availability date. The inventory dose order specifies a sterile compounded medication product that is suitable for administration by intravenous introduction to a human. The preparation station prepares an inventory dose corresponding to the inventory dose order, determines an expiration date of the inventory dose, and causes a printer to print a label for the inventory dose. The label indicates that the inventory dose is to be stored and includes information indicative of the expiration date of the inventory dose.

Abstract

A computer system is configured to implement a method of estimating residual renal function in a dialysis patient based on data for two consecutive treatment sessions of intermittent dialysis therapy. The computer system obtains first and second blood concentration values (C1, C2) for a substance, e.g. urea, creatinine, at a start and an end of a first treatment session, and a third blood concentration value (C3) at a start of a second treatment session. The computer system also obtains time points (t1, t2, t3) for the start and the end of the first treatment session and the start of the second treatment session. The computer system then estimates the residual renal function as a function of the first, second, and third concentration values (C1, C2, C3), and the time points (t1, t2, t3). The method obviates the need to include data representing collection of urine from the patient.
