MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441102678 A) filed by Gambro Lundia Ab on December 24, 2024, for Methods Of Reducing Fill Time By Preheating The Solution Using An Inline Heater.
Inventors include Jain, Shanthakumar, Belur Shashanka; and Ravikumar, Hemanth Hiriyur.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT The present disclosure sets forth a peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system, which allows the lowest operating ambient temperature of the PD fluid to be decreased without modifying the heater power or the flow rate during treatment. The system includes a PD machine or cycler. Fresh PD fluid is delivered via a single or dual lumen patient line to the patient and is first heated to a body fluid temperature, e.g., 37°C. Before fill, the PD fluid is preheated by pumping the fresh PD fluid from a solution bag, through the inline heater, into an empty solution bag, and back until the fresh PD fluid is heated to a pre-determined temperature. This allows the initial temperature of the fresh PD fluid in the solution bag to be lower.
