METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING BLOOD

摘要

If pressure constraints occur during the execution of blood treatment, the pump flow rates are rapidly decelerated to remove the pressure constraints so that the treating operation will restore the normal state as quickly as possible. After the pressure constraints have been removed, the pump flow rates are restored at a preset acceleration without causing any excessive pressure buildup due to an abruptly increased load. If the pump flow rates immediately after the start of operation of the processor are increased through two stages of acceleration, the target flow rates can be rapidly reached without exerting any abrupt load on the processor and, hence, without causing an excessive pressure buildup.
