METHOD FOR SETTING A CONTINUOUS DIALYSATE VOLUME FLOW RATE IN A DIALYSIS MACHINE, AND DIALYSIS MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for setting a continuous dialysate volume flow rate in a dialysis machine having at least two discontinuous pumps and a control system for producing a desired volume flow rate of the dialysate. According to the invention, in order to produce the most continuous possible dialysate volume flow rate having high constancy, the power for driving the pumps is set to be constant with a value corresponding to the pump-time volume of the respective pump and the required volume. The invention also relates to a dialysis machine for carrying out the aforementioned method.
