METHOD OF TESTING THE INTEGRITY OF DIALYSIS CIRCUIT FILTERS

摘要

A method of testing the integrity of a membrane of at least one filter located along a dialysis solution circuit; the method including, in succession, the steps of: - wetting the test membrane with an aqueous solution; - expelling the aqueous solution from the filter; - filling a fill chamber of the filter with a given quantity of gas, after first closing the gas flow lines from the fill chamber; and - detecting gas flow through the membrane, which bounds the fill chamber.
