PCT No. PCT/IB96/00530 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 8, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 8, 1997 PCT Filed May 30, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/38189 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 5, 1996A method and apparatus are disclosed for flushing a blood treatment apparatus. The blood treatment apparatus has a first compartment and second compartment separated by a semipermeable membrane substantially impermeable to gas. A flushing circuit is set up by connecting an inlet of the blood treatment apparatus to a flushing liquid source and an outlet of the blood treatment apparatus to a discharge pipe. Liquid is circulated through the flushing circuit in pressure waves. These pressure waves dislodge air bubbles adhering to an inner wall of the blood treatment apparatus and discharge the air bubbles in the flushing liquid.
