Title: Device and method for introducing a plug into the peritoneal dialysis connector of a patient
Inventor: BIESEL WOLFGANG
IPC: A61M39/18
Filed: 2005-01-27
Granted: 2012-04-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for introducing a plug into the peritoneal dialysis connector of a patient. The aim of the invention is to enable any number of disconnecting/connecting processes to be carried out in patient connectors that introduce a sterile plug into the connection of the patient in the stomach during the disconnection process. To this end, the invention relates to a device for introducing a plug into the peritoneal dialysis connector of a patient, said device consisting of a housing containing a plug, and means for transferring the plug from the device into the connector of the patient. One such device can be used to introduce a new plug, under sterile conditions, into a patient connector comprising a plug that has already been used. For a plug such as that described in the application DE 198 14 047 Cl, the introduction of a new plug causes the push-button with which the plug is inserted to return to its initial position, so that the patient connector is ready for a new connection/disconnection process. In this way, a multiple reintroduction of plugs into the connector of a patient is feasible. The invention is advantageous in that costs are only incurred as a result of an intentional connection/disconnection process.

Abstract: A method is described for priming an in-line molten metal filtration unit having a porous ceramic or refractory filter mounted substantially horizontally in a filter box. This filter box has an inlet for molten metal and an outlet for molten metal, the outlet being a closeable outlet in an exit well connecting to the downstream side of the filter. The method of the invention comprises the steps of adding a molten metal to the filter box sufficient to entirely cover the upstream side of the filter with a depth of molten metal and temporarily sealing the outlet in the exit well. A steadily increasing vacuum is then applied to the closed exit well at a rate between 0.1 and 10 kPa per second by withdrawing a stream of air from the exit well by means of a fan or air venturi until molten metal begins to flow through the filter. At that point the vacuum is quickly released and the molten metal outlet is opened. Once the filter has been primed in this manner, flow of metal through the filter continues while requiring only a relatively low head of molten metal on the inlet side of the filter.
