| 摘要 |
<p>This invention is a fluid vacuum system (10) for vacuuming discharge fluid (12) from a fluid source (14) without applying a vacuum (22) to the fluid source (14). The system (10) comprises a discharge conduit (16), a vacuum source (18), and a vacuum breaker (20). The discharge conduit (16) is in fluid communication with the fluid source (14). The vacuum breaker (20) connects the discharge conduit (16) to the vacuum source (18) such that the vacuum source (18) applies a vacuum (22) to the discharge fluid (12) without applying a vacuum (22) to the fluid source (14). Select embodiments are optimized for use with dialysis machines (54a-54h) in dialysis clinics (70). A closed system, preferably a vacuum system (10), is provided for disposal of noxious odors (100, 101) and fluids (12).</p> |
