A JOINT FOR FLUID TRANSPORT LINES FOR MEDICAL USE

摘要

The joint (36) comprises a tubular body (37) having two connecting zones (38 , 39) each connected by an end to a tubular element (40) of a fluid transport line, giving continuity to passage of fluid. The tubular body is made of a mixture of an electrically-conductive material such as PVC, with carbon blac k to give it electrical conductivity. The joint has an internal surface (41) which is destined to come into contact with the transported fluid, and an external surface which is destined to have a grounded galvanic contact. The joint eliminates ECG artefacts due to functioning of peristaltic pumps in a dialysis apparatus.
