<p>A hemodialysis apparatus comprises arterial and venous blood chambers (104,106,204,206) on opposed sides of a dialyzer (12) and a roller pump (254,256,258). The pump has flexible, collapsible pump tubing (252) connected to a port of one of the chambers (104,106,204,206). The tubing (252) has an upright U-shape which facilitates priming of the tubing (252). The U-shape is formed by mounting the tubing (252) in a pump track (254) of the pump (254,256,258). The tubing (252) is straight when unstressed and removed from the pump track (254). <IMAGE></p> |
