1. 1. Development of a CBM based service indicator for UFD replacements - An introductory study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Johan Åkesson; Victor Lundqvist; [2017]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for many people around the world. In or- der to meet the high demands on the dialysis machines, replaceable parts must be exchanged in proper time. Condition based maintenance (CBM) bases its service decisions on the actual health status of the component. READ MORE

3. 2. A Technical Evaluation of Capacitive Level Sensors for use in Hemodialysis Machines on Chambers Filled with Dielectric Liquids

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Viktor Stevander; Viktor Petersson; [2016]
   Keywords : comb-finger; parallel fingers; capacitive sensor; Electrical engineering; Electric measurement; hemodialysis; dialysis machine; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A series of tests were performed to explore the limits of two capacitive level sensors using the principle of parallel finger layout (sometimes called comb fingers) for sensing. The goal was to present a decision basis for Baxter to use when choosing a sensor to implement in their next generation hemodialysis machine. READ MORE

4. 3. On-line Verification of Hemodialysis Water Quality
