conclusions thus, we can conclude that a simulator system using an extracorporeal circulation system can be set to different models of dialyzers, and that the reproduced treatment scenarios can be used for simulation training. results the results of the tests demonstrated successful activation of the alarms by the dialysis apparatus, which were appropriate for each of the five types of accident...

BACKGROUND Accidents that occur during dialysis treatment are notified to the medical staff via alarms raised by the dialysis apparatus. Similar to such real accidents, apparatus activation or accidents can be reproduced by simulating a treatment situation. An alarm that corresponds to such accidents can be utilized in the simulation model. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to create an ex...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Concerns have been raised about nephrology fellows' skills in inserting temporary hemodialysis catheters. Less is known about temporary hemodialysis catheter insertion skills of attending nephrologists supervising these procedures. The aim of this study was to compare baseline temporary hemodialysis catheter insertion skills of attending nephrologists with the skills o...

The corrections of the large and complex systems have become an issue great importance recently due to system development process. device technology is quite encompasses various disciplines engineering, medicine, biology, critical patient-machine interfaces. In this paper, we proposed a simulation approach verification validation hemodialysis machine (HD machine) specified by SysML language. ca...

A microcomputer-based simulator for digital control systems is proposed. The proposed simulator is a hybrid system in which the plant is simulated by conventional method of analog computers and other parts of the system including generation of input signal is performed digitally, using a Z-80 based microcomputer. To overcome the difficulty of programming in assembly language, and at the same ti...
