Description

  The present invention relates to a blood circuit control device that controls the flow of each liquid flowing through a blood purification circuit.

  Conventionally, for example, in order to purify the blood of a patient with renal insufficiency, continuous slow hemofiltration (CHF), continuous slow hemodialysis (CHD), A treatment using a continuous blood purification method such as continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) has been performed. In the continuous blood purification method, the blood perfusion rate is slower than that of conventional hemodialysis, so that blood can be purified gently.

When performing a continuous blood purification method, the flow rate of blood drawn from the patient must be balanced with the flow rate of blood returned to the patient and the replacement fluid injected into the patient. In order to realize the balance, the usage amounts of the dialysate, the replacement fluid, and the filtrate are individually measured (for example, see Patent Document 1).

The liquid supply measuring container 2 is used and held in the holding portion 126a of the liquid supply rod-shaped member 126.

  The first torque detector 128 is provided on the central shaft 124 a between the first outer cylinder 124 b and the second outer cylinder 124 c of the first rod-shaped member 124, and is disposed on the filtrate rod-shaped member 125. Torque in the holding part 125a (hereinafter referred to as “torque around the second outer cylinder 124c”) and torque in the holding part 126a provided in the liquid supply rod-like member 126 (hereinafter referred to as “around the third outer cylinder 124d” The sum of "torque") is detected.

  The torque calculator 131 calculates the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c based on the detection results obtained by the first torque detector 128 and the second torque detector 129. Specifically, the torque calculation unit 131 subtracts the value detected by the second torque detection unit 129 from the value detected by the first torque detection unit 128, thereby calculating the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c. calculate.

  The increase / decrease amount calculation unit 132 is based on the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c and the torque around the third outer cylinder 124d obtained by the second torque detection unit 129 and the torque calculation unit 131, and An increase / decrease amount of the weight of the filtrate measuring container 31 from the initial normal state is calculated. That is, the increase / decrease amount calculation unit 132 calculates the total amount of filtrate actually discarded and the total amount of liquid supply actually used. The increase / decrease amount calculation unit 132 calculates the total amount of filtrate actually discarded by dividing the increase amount from the initial normal state of the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c calculated by the torque calculation unit 131 by the distance L. . Further, the increase / decrease amount calculation unit 132 divides the decrease amount from the initial normal state of the torque around the third outer cylinder 124d detected by the second torque detection unit 129 by the distance L, so that the actually used liquid supply The total amount of is calculated.

  The weight change amount calculation unit 133 is based on the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c and the torque around the third outer cylinder 124d obtained by the second torque detection unit 129 and the torque calculation unit 131. And the amount of change over time of the weight of the filtrate measuring container 31, that is, the flow rate of the filtrate to be discarded and the flow rate of the feed solution to be used are calculated. The value obtained by dividing the increase in the total amount of the filtrate with the change in time by the specific gravity of the filtrate is the flow rate of the discarded filtrate, and the decrease in the total amount of the supply with respect to the change in time is divided by the specific gravity of the supply liquid The value is the flow rate of the feed used. Therefore, the weight change amount calculation unit 133 calculates the temporal change amount of the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c calculated by the torque calculation unit 131, divides the obtained value by the distance L, and is further estimated. The flow rate of the discarded filtrate is calculated by dividing by the specific gravity of the filtrate. The weight change amount calculation unit 133 calculates a temporal change amount of the torque around the third outer cylinder 124d detected by the second torque detection unit 129, divides the obtained value by the distance L, and further supplies By dividing by the specific gravity of the liquid, the flow rate of the used liquid supply is calculated.

  In addition, the weight change amount calculation unit 133 determines whether or not the calculated temporal change amount of the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c is “constant”. When the temporal change amount of the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c is constant, the temporal decrease amount of the liquid supply coincides with the temporal increase amount of the filtrate, and the flow rate of the blood taken out from the patient 40 and the patient 40 The blood flow returned to the flow rate and the flow rate of the liquid supply (replacement fluid) injected into the patient 40 are balanced. Here, the “constant” may be “within a predetermined range”.

  The display unit 134 displays the detection results obtained by the first torque detection unit 128 and the second torque detection unit 129, and the detection results obtained by the torque calculation unit 131, the increase / decrease amount calculation unit 132, and the weight change amount calculation unit 133. Display the results.

  When it is determined by the weight change amount calculation unit 133 that the temporal change amount of the torque around the second outer cylinder 124c is not “constant”, the pump control unit 55 causes the above temporal change amount to be “constant”. In addition, all or part of the liquid supply transfer pump 10, the blood side pump 22, and the filtrate pump 29 are controlled. Thereby, the decreasing amount of the liquid supply with which the liquid supply measuring container 2 is filled and the increase amount of the filtrate stored in the filtrate measuring container 31 are balanced. That is, the flow rate of the blood taken out from the patient 40 and the flow rate of the blood returned to the patient 40 and the supply fluid (replacement fluid) injected into the patient 40 balance.

  The liquid supply measuring container 2 may be held by the holding portion 125 a of the liquid rod-shaped member 125, and the filtrate measuring container 31 may be held by the holding portion 126 a of the liquid supply rod-shaped member 126.
