Abstract

An extracorporeal blood treatment device is disclosed. The device includes a blood treatment unit connected to an extracorporeal blood circuit, a waste liquid discharge line for evacuating waste treatment liquid from the blood treatment unit, and a collecting container for collecting waste treatment liquid evacuated via the waste liquid discharge line. The collecting container is removably connected to the waste liquid discharge line via a one way valve. A collecting container for a device is also disclosed. The container includes a waste fluid input line, wherein a one way valve is arranged in the waste fluid input line.

Claims (25)

1. An extracorporeal blood treatment device, comprising:

a blood treatment unit connected to an extracorporeal blood circuit;

a waste liquid discharge line connected to the blood treatment unit for evacuating waste treatment liquid from the blood treatment unit, the waste liquid discharge line having a plurality of waste discharge branches;

a plurality of collecting containers, each of the plurality of collecting containers including a waste liquid input line connected to a respective waste discharge branch;

a plurality of one way valves having the same flow resistance, the waste discharge branch or the waste liquid input line of each collecting container including a respective one way valve, wherein each of the plurality of collecting containers collects the waste treatment liquid evacuated via the waste liquid discharge line equally and simultaneously via the respective one way valve; and

a plurality of quick connectors connecting each waste liquid input line to the respective waste discharge branch, each quick connector including:

a first connecting member arranged on the respective waste discharge branch, and

a second connecting member arranged on the respective waste liquid input line;

wherein each of the plurality of collecting containers is removably connected to the waste liquid discharge line in parallel via the plurality of quick connectors and the plurality of one way valves.

2. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of one way valves is arranged in a respective waste liquid input line.

3. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plurality of collecting containers further includes a waste liquid drain line for draining collected waste treatment liquid out of the at least one collecting container.

4. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein the respective one way valve is arranged at an end of the waste liquid input line distal from the respective collecting container.

5. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of one way valves and a quick connecting means are arranged at an end of a respective waste liquid input line distal from the respective collecting container.

6. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein a quick connecting means is arranged at an end of a respective waste liquid input line distal from the respective collecting container.

7. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of collecting containers includes a waste liquid drain line for draining collected waste treatment liquid out of the at least one collecting container.

8. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 7 , wherein the waste liquid drain line is provided with a clamp for temporary locking of the waste liquid drain line.

9. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of one way valves is arranged in a respective waste liquid discharge branch.

10. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of one way valves is arranged in a quick connecting means for a respective collecting container.

11. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 10 , wherein the first connecting member includes the at least one of the plurality of one way valves.

12. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 10 , wherein the second connecting member includes the at least one of the plurality of one way valves.

13. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 10 , wherein:

the first connecting member includes a one way valve, and

the second connecting member includes a one way valve.

14. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting member is a male connecting element.

15. The extracorporeal blood treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein the second connecting member is a female connecting element.
