AUTOMATED CLEANING SYSTEM FOR DIALYZERS

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus and method of cleaning artificial dialyzers having a blood side and a dialysate side. The system provides a fully automated cleaning system usable with parallel plate coil and hollow fibre type dialyzers and comprises an element for storing a predetermined sequence of cleaning procedures, said element provides control signals; a regulator for determining the flow of a plurality of blood cleaning reagents through the dialysate and blood sides of the dialyzer; a controller responsive to said control signals for automatically actuating said regulator to provide said cleaning procedures in said predetermined sequence; a monitor for sensing the condition of said dialyzer during cleaning; and a member responsive to said monitor for varying said predetermined sequence.
