EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING BLOOD TREATMENT USING AN EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD TREATMENT DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to an extracorporeal blood treatment device (A) comprising a treatment unit (1) and a device (2A, 2B) for controlling the treatment unit for preparing and carrying out the blood treatment. Said blood treatment device also comprises an internal communication unit (15) for communicating with an external communication unit (C). In order to the prepare blood treatment, the patient sends an initiation code by means of an external communication unit (C) which the internal communication device (15) of the blood treatment device (1) receives. Routines required for preparing the blood treatment are then started. The main advantage is that the patient, for example during home dialysis, does not need to be present when preparing the dialysis and the dialysis can be started to be prepared when the patient thinks of returning home in time for the beginning of the preparation phase.
