Container for collection of concentrate
First Claim
1. A bag for use in apparatus for dialysis to accommodate solid or fluid concentrate for preparation of dialysis fluid using a dialysis machine, the bag having a bag body and at least one opening, wherein a first plug component is provided on the opening of the bag, which first plug component is an elongate tube extending from a first end to a second end and which sealingly surrounds the opening at said second end, whereby in a coupled state the first plug component produces a flow connection with the bag, the first plug component including coupling means at said first end, which arc connectable with a second complementary plug component provided on the dialysis machine, creating a first flow path from the dialysis reaching to the bag and a second flow path back from the bag to the dialysis machine, wherein the first plug component having an inlet for fluid flowing from the dialysis machine to the bag, and an outlet for diluted concentrate going back from the bag to the dialysis machine located at said first end adjacent said coupling means.

Abstract
The invention concerns a bag to accommodate solid or fluid concentrate which is used to prepare dialysis fluid using a dialysis machine. The bag consists of a bag body and at least one opening, whereby the opening is sealingly surrounded by a plug component (220). In the coupled state with a second plug component (210), the plug component (220) forms a flow connection with the interior of the bag. The plug component also has coupling means (276, 278) which are suitable to be connected with a second complementary plug component (210), which is disposed on the dialysis machine. By means of the plug connector, in the coupled state, a first flow path is formed from the dialysis machine to the interior of the bag and a second flow path is formed back from the interior of the bag to the dialysis machine.

- 10. A plug connector for use with a bag to accommodate solid or fluid concentrate for the preparation of dialysis fluid using a dialysis machine, having two plug components, whose first plug component is attached on the opening of the bag, and whose second plug component is disposed on the dialysis machine and is connected to a dialysis fluid feed line, wherein the second plug component consists of a socket body, in which an essentially cylindric recess open to the surroundings is designed, into which the first plug component can be inserted, and in which, in a valve chamber, a valve element is shiftably disposed, the valve chamber is linked to an outlet channel, and an inlet channel opens into a region of the recess, in which the valve element is shiftable, the valve element being shiftable toward the input side of the second plug component in a forward position, in which the inlet channel and the outlet channel are in fluid communication with each other and in which the inlet channel and the outlet channel are not in fluid communication with the input side of the second plug component, and the valve element being shiftable away from the input side in a backward position, in which the inlet channel and the outlet channel are in fluid communication with the input side of the second plug component and the valve element is preloaded by means of an elastic element in the forward position.

30. Apparatus for dialysis, comprising:
-
a dialysis machine having a dialysis fluid feed line; a bag to accommodate solid or fluid concentrate for preparation of dialysis fluid, said bag including a bag body and at least one opening; a first plug component provided on the opening, which plug sealingly surrounds the opening, the first plug component having an inlet for fluid flowing out of the dialysis machine and an outlet for diluted concentrate flowing back to the dialysis machine; a second plug component disposed on the dialysis machine and connected to the dialysis fluid feed line, the second plug component comprising a socket body in which an essentially cylindrical recess open to its environment is provided into which the first plug component is insertable and in which a valve element preloaded in a closed position by means of an elastic element is shiftably disposed in a valve chamber, the valve chamber being linked to an outlet channel and an inlet channel opening into a region of the recess in which the valve element is shiftable; and detachable means for coupling the first and second plug components, whereby when the first and second plug components are connected a first flow path from the dialysis machine to the bag and a second flow path back from the bag to the dialysis machine are formed. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
