Apparatus for dialysis treatment

摘要

The control device (18) for setting dialysis fluid flow can adopt an operation mode for ensuring a reduced flow of dialysis fluid through the dialysis fluid chamber (4), during which the means for controlling dialysis fluid flow in the bypass tube (14) and the dialysis fluid supply and/or removal tubes (9, 12) are at least partially opened. The machine contains an extracorporal blood cycle containing a blood chamber (3) divided by a semi-permeable membrane (2) into a blood chamber and dialysis fluid chamber. Tubes for supplying and removing dialysis fluid are connected to the dialysis fluid chamber inlet and outlet respectively. A bypass tube branches off from the supply tube upstream from the dialysis fluid chamber. A means is provided for setting dialysis fluid flow through the supply, removal and bypass tubes, and a device is provided for controlling the flow setting means. An Independent claim is also included for a method for reducing dialysis fluid flow using this machine.
