Abstract:
A waste liquid collection system for use in continuous arteriovenous or venovenous hemodialysis (CAVH or CVVH) is disclosed. The system comprises a collection vessel and associated interconnection lines which can be preset to given volume of waste liquid to be removed from the dialysis machine in a given period of time. Once the volume is reached, the collection vessel stops waste liquid flow until the vessel is emptied and reset. The system guaranties that excess liquid will not be removed from a patient.
