A PROCESS AND AN APPARATUS FOR FILLING AND/OR RINSING AN EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD CIRCUIT

摘要

A patient end of a venous blood line (26) is connected to a discharge of a dialysis liquid preparation circuit by means of an auxiliary connector (23), and the patient end of an arterial blood line (25) is connected to a service line (32) located at the top of a venous expansion chamber (31). The filling and/or rinsing liquid is removed from the preparation circuit by backfiltering through a membrane (5) of a high-flux dialysis filter (2). The invention enables a blood circuit to be primed simply and rapidly.
