PERISTALTIC PUMPING DEVICE AND MEDICAL APPARATUS, IN PARTICULAR FOR DIALYSIS, INCORPORATING IT
A peristaltic pumping device of linear type, includes a section of deformable tube crossed by a fluid whereon at least a peristaltic compression is implemented; and an actuator, including a rotating element provided with one or more helical ribs arranged projecting from its surface to interfere, along the rotation of the rotating element, with said deformable tube and, so as to determine thereon at least a localized, movable and continuous squeezing, moving along a predetermined direction, which implements peristaltic compression, the helical ribs are arranged along a helical axis with respect thereto they are fixed, the position thereof being tied with respect to the rotating element, wherein at least a portion of helical rib, which interferes with said deformable tube, is rotatable around the respective helical axis, thereby minimizing the friction thereof on the surface of the deformable tube, thereby allowing to reduce effectively the stress on the deformable tube.
In alternative embodiments, provided are solutions for peritoneal dialysis for use for maintaining or restoring the removal of small solutes and fluids in subjects with end-stage renal disease and/or congestive heart failure. In alternative embodiments, such solutions comprise carnitine, xylitol and at least one of glucose, glycerol and polydextrin.

A peristaltic pumping device (36) of linear type, comprises a section of deformable tube (12) crossed by a fluid whereon at least a peristaltic compression is implemented; and an actuator (37), comprising a rotating element (38) provided with one or more helical ribs (53) arranged projecting from the surface thereof so as to interfere, along the rotation of the rotating element (38), with said deformable tube (12) and, so as to determine thereon at least a localized, movable and continuous squeezing (54), moving along a predetermined direction, which implements peristaltic compression, said one or more helical ribs (53) are arranged along a helical axis with respect thereto they are fixed, the position thereof being tied with respect to the rotating element (38), wherein at least a portion of helical rib (53), which interferes with said deformable tube (12), is rotatable around the respective helical axis, so as to minimize the friction thereof on the surface of the deformable tube (12), thereby allowing to reduce effectively the stress on the deformable tube (12).
The present invention relates to solutions for peritoneal dialysis for use for maintaining or restoring the removal of small solutes and fluids in subjects with end-stage renal disease and/or congestive heart failure. Such solutions comprise carnitine, xylitol and at least one of glucose, glycerol and polydextrin.

A peristaltic type pumping device, wherein a fluid is pushed along an elastically deformably tube, has a compact and particularly robust shape, and it comprises: a deformable tube tract (12) and a seat (6) which receives it extending for its whole length, the seat (6) comprising a bottom, thereupon a lower surface of the tube tract (12) rests, opposite to an upper surface of the tube tract (12), the lower and upper surfaces being separated by side surfaces of the tube tract (12) opposite to one another; a rotating operating element (16) which, by exerting a continuous squeezing on said upper surface of the tube tract (12) which moves according to a predetermined direction, produces a peristaltic compression of the tube tract (12), wherein the flowing direction of the fluid flow in the tube tract (12) is determined by the rotation direction of the rotating operating element (16); and means for compressing laterally said tube tract (12), arranged for exerting a continuous pressure on the side surfaces of the tube tract (12), simultaneously to the peristaltic compression on the upper surface of the tube tract (12), but so as to allow the mobile squeezing thereof, to restore the normal passage section of the tube tract (12) when said squeezing is not exerted.
