Abstract

A renal failure therapy system (10) includes: a dialyzer (102); a blood circuit (100) including a blood pump (120) in fluid communication with the dialyzer (102); a dialysis circuit (30) in fluid communication with the dialyzer (102); and at least one flow path insulator (150, 155) located in the dialysis circuit (30) or the blood circuit (100), the flow path insulator (150, 155) including a structure that separates liquid flowing within the flow path insulator (150, 155) into a plurality (e.g., two or more) of separated liquid segments (160) that create electrical isolation within the flow path insulator (150, 155).
