Disposal container for used dialysate and extracorporeal blood purification system comprising said disposal container

Abstract

A disposal container for used dialysate including a flexible bag in or at which an inlet connection is formed or arranged which is prepared for connecting the bag to a dialysis machine of the mobile type such that the disposal container is movable or displaceable along with the dialysis machine, wherein the disposal container includes an outlet connection or connector provided separately from the inlet connection, the connector being prepared for connecting the bag to a sewer line in a way sealed against the connector environment; and an extracorporeal blood purification system comprising a stationary system area and a non-stationary system area, the system including a bag according to the invention.

1 .- 7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . A disposal container for used dialysate, the disposal container comprising:
 a flexible bag;   an inlet connection formed or arranged in or at the flexible bag to connect the flexible bag to a mobile dialysis machine such that the disposal container is movable or displaceable along with the mobile dialysis machine; and   an outlet connection or connector separate from the inlet connection configured to connect the flexible bag to a sewer line at an end of the flexible bag facing away from the flexible bag such that the flexible bag is sealed against an environment of the outlet connection or connector, wherein the outlet connection or connector is formed integrally with the flexible bag.   
     
     
         9 . The disposal container according to  claim 8 , wherein the outlet connection or connector includes an auxiliary connection via which the outlet connection or connector can be coupled to an auxiliary line that is prepared to ensure an increased emptying rate of dialysate from the flexible bag into the sewer line through pressurization. 
     
     
         10 . The disposal container according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a folding mechanism configured to transmit a compressing force to the flexible bag so as to reduce a volume of the flexible bag to ensure an increased emptying rate of dialysate from the flexible bag into the sewer line.   
     
     
         11 . The disposal container according to  claim 8 , wherein the flexible bag is at least partly surrounded by an outer packaging that is configured to provide a sterile barrier between the environment and an outer surface of the flexible bag. 
     
     
         12 . The disposal container according to  claim 8 , wherein the outlet connection or connector is at least partly surrounded by a movable housing that is displaced immediately before connection so that the movable housing creates a sterile barrier between the environment and the outlet connection or connector. 
     
     
         13 . The disposal container according to  claim 8 , wherein the outlet connection or connector is a Luer lock, a three-way cock, or a Walther coupling. 
     
     
         14 . An extracorporeal blood purification system comprising:
 a stationary system area including a sewer line; and   a non-stationary system area including at least one blood purification machine prepared to pass a dialysate, after the dialysate has passed through a dialyzer, on to the flexible bag according to  claim 8 .   
     
     
         15 . The extracorporeal blood purification system according to  claim 14 , wherein the flexible bag is a single-use reject bag. 
     
     
         16 . The extracorporeal blood purification system according to  claim 14 , wherein the sewer line corresponds to at least one of a supply line or a disposal line of a stationary blood purification system. 
     
     
         17 . The extracorporeal blood purification system according to  claim 16 , wherein the stationary blood purification system is a chronical dialysis treatment blood purification system.
