| Summary |
|---|
The first part of the subject is focused on basic principles and construction of peristaltic pump, derived pumping technique,
linear dispensers, other pumping techniques for medical applications (concentrate diaphragm pumps,
ultrafiltration pumps, gear flow and degassing pumps, etc.).
The second part of the subject is focused on biophysical principles and their technical application. This is primarily the principle
metabolism, extracorporeal circulation and realization of hemodialysis solution technology incl. water treatment based
reverse osmosis. Furthermore, there are special high-level disinfection procedures and cleaning procedures. The issue is clarified
biocompatibility, special purification methods of blood (haemofiltration) and technical principles of hemodialysis apparatus
techniques. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to focus on infusion technology and hemodialysis technology. The benefit of the subject is acquiring knowledge and understanding of the principles, techniques and use of these devices. The course supplements the basic knowledge about medical electrical devices in the study field of biomedical engineering. |
