To prevent overinfusion, an infusion pump restricts the volume of infusate that the patient can receive over a given period of time by utilizing an analytical model of infusate volume delivered to the patient as a function of time that takes the form of a piecewise function, v(t). During initial programming of an infusion, an initial version of the model is created. The model is updated each time the flow rate modulation pattern is modified over the course of the infusion. Each update to the model results in one or more new elements being added to the piecewise function. The maxima of each element of the piecewise Δv(t) is determined and compared to a maximum permissible volume set by the user. If any of the maxima meet or exceed the value, an alert is issued. Once the maximum permissible volume is reached, the infusion is stopped.

IMPLANT FOR FIXING A CRANIAL BONE FLAP IN A CRANIAL OPENING
An implant for fixing a cranial bone flap in a cranial opening includes a first portion designed to transfer force to the bone flap, a second portion designed to transfer force to a skull bone encircling the cranial opening, and a mechanism connected to the first portion and the second portion. The mechanism is configured such that a transverse spacing, projected onto a transverse axis of the implant, between the first portion and the second portion, is enlargeable, such that the first portion is pressable radially inwardly against the bone flap, and the second portion is pressable radially outwardly against the skull bone. The first portion and/or the second portion are designed for arrangement in an annular gap formed between an outer circumference of the bone flap and an inner circumference of the skull bone. At least two of such implants can make up an implant system.
A centering interface is arranged between a tubular element mounted in a device, specifically a receiving tube or quiver, for a suction rod of a dialysis machine, and a movable element preferably guided pivotally about an axis, specifically a front plate of the dialysis machine. Centering surfaces are mated between the tubular element mounted in the device and the movable element. When a preferably sealed joint of the interface is manufactured, the tubular element mounted in the device can be moved in the axial direction against the force of a biasing spring during the movement of the movable element and the accompanying approach of the centering surfaces, while its guiding support allows a movement that permits the centering surfaces to be brought into the joining position with centering surface axes aligned with each other free of constraint forces.
