<p>1. An apparatus for monitoring haemodialysis sessions, of the kind comprising an alarm circuit (15), arranged in such a way as to operate under the effect of a signal sent out by a measuring circuit when the variable to be monitored, read from the circuit exterior to the body connected to an artificial kidney, exceeds a predetermined threshold, characterized in that the measuring apparatus is an impedence meter (3) able to be connected selectively either to a first set of electrodes (10) mounted on a cell (11) of constant volume placed in the external circuit (2) before an artificial kidney (1), or to a second set of electrodes (9) able to be fixed on the body of the patient, the impedence meter - of a type itself known, comprising a low frequency circuit at 5 kHz and a high frequency circuit at 1 MHz - being connected to a trigger-comparator (12) for emitting a signal which is itself dependent on an apparatus (13) which has been set at the authorized variation delta z (at 5kHz) of the impedence of the blood which is passing through the above-mentioned cell (11) this variation constituting the predetermined threshold.</p> |
