METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING PRIMING AND RESTITUTION LIQUIDS FOR AN EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD TREATMENT

摘要

A blood treatment system is primed with a replacement liquid that flows directly into the access line of the blood circuit. The replacement liquid may be replacement fluid or blood stored in the replacement bag or the pre-blood pump' (PBP) bag. These replacement liquids from the replacement and PBP bags are also used during blood treatment. These replacement liquids are blood or a replacement fluid and, particularly, have electrolyte levels the same as or similar to the electrolyte levels in the vascular blood of the patient.
