Electrodes for a blo-impedance measuring device, and devices used during dialysis

摘要

The present invention relates to electrodes (10) for a bio-impedance measuring device (30) or a body composition monitor, the electrodes (10) being integral with or being attached to a surface of at least one device belonging to a group of electronic and/or non-electronic devices used in the preparation of a dialysis treatment or during dialysis, in particular during peritoneal dialysis, the group preferably consisting of organizers (20) of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis system (CAPD), automated peritoneal dialysis devices, automated peritoneal dialysis-cyclers (APD-Cycler) (40), bioelectrical impedance analyzers (BIA) (30), body composition monitors (BCM), hand-held electrodes holders (50) for the electrodes, and dialysis apparatuses. The invention also relates to devices and methods used during dialysis.
