<p>Method and apparatus for sterilising a heat sensitive fluid, such as a fluid for peritoneal dialysis. The fluid is provided as a first heat sensitive component and a second less heat sensitive component. The less heat sensitive component is heated to a temperature higher than a sterilising temperature. The two components are then mixed to thereby heat the first component and cool the second component. The heating of the first component is controlled to obtain a mixing temperature equal to the desired sterilising temperature. The mixed components are maintained at the sterilising temperature during a sterilisation time so that a sterilisation dose is obtained, whereafter the mixed components are cooled and delivered to a recipient. Preferably, the method is performed on line with continuous flows of fluids whereby the heated second fluid flow component heats the first, possibly preheated, component to sterilising temperature.</p> |
