Patent CA-2491959-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAMOTO SHINJI
IPC: A61M1/28
Filed: 2003-07-08
Abstract: The peritoneal function of a peritoneal dialysis patient is examined to evaluate the condition of the patient. An examining method comprises a step of alternately repeating introduction/drainage of a predetermined quantity of a peritoneal dialyzing fluid of an osmotic pressure and introduction/drainage of a predetermined quantity of another peritoneal dialyzing fluid of an osmotic pressure different from the former one, a step of examining the drain to determine the quantity of peritoneal dialyzing fluid staying in the abdomina l cavity of the patient and the concentration of a solute of interest, a step of conducting a peritoneal equilibrium test, and a step of conducting a blood test to grasp the change of the state of the blood caused by the introductio n and drainage. The blood test step is executed only once. The current states of the peritoneal dialysis capability and the water removal capability of the patient can be efficiently and accurately evaluated so as to carry out peritoneal dialysis most suitable for the condition of the patient.

Filed: 2005-10-20
Abstract: A vapor compression system including a closed fluid circuit having operably coupled thereto, in serial order, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion device, a second heat exchanger and a fluid vessel. The refrigerant is compressed in the compressor and circulated through the fluid circuit. Thermal energy is removed from the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger. The pressure of the refrigerant is reduced in the expansion device, and thermal energy is added to the refrigerant in the second heat exchanger. Upon ceasing operation of the system, refrigerant present in the vessel defines a lower temperature than the refrigerant present in the second heat exchanger. A thermal energy storage medium is operably coupled to the vessel and provides the vessel with thermal inertia wherein the temperature of the refrigerant in the vessel remains cooler than the temperature of the refrigerant in the second heat exchanger.
