A patent has been issued to NxStage Medical Inc. for fluid conveyance safety devices, methods, and systems. The patent describes the need for safe systems for extracorporeal blood processing, which involves the extraction and replacement of blood outside the body. Leaks in these systems can be dangerous, so the patent focuses on methods for detecting and preventing leaks, including the use of dual-lumen needles and pressure monitoring. The patent also discusses the potential for home use of these systems and the challenges associated with ensuring safety in non-clinical settings. [Extracted from the article] |
