Abstract: A system (1) and a method for renal replacement therapy comprising a blood treatment unit (4) connected to a blood circuit (2) and a dialysis fluid circuit (3), the system (1) further comprises a control unit (31) configured to control the system (1) according to control instructions comprising to, during a treatment, determine a system parameter value and an indication of membrane fouling of the membrane (7), and activate an automatic anti-fouling measure comprising a temporary change of the flow rate in the blood circuit (2) and a temporary decrease of the ultrafiltration rate wherein a timing of the temporary change and a timing of the temporary reduction are synchronized.

Abstract: A water purification apparatus (300) capable of being cleaned at a point of care, and methods for cleaning the water purification apparatus (300) at the point of care. The water purification apparatus (300) and the methods provide an efficient use of a heater (302) for heat disinfection the water purification apparatus (300), e.g. by recirculating heated fluid to further heat the fluid. Several different cleaning programs are provided that may be utilized for cleaning different parts of the water purification apparatus (300).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a water purification apparatus that comprises a reverse osmosis device, RO-device, producing a purified water flow and to a corresponding method. The proposed method comprises detecting at least one fluid property of purified water in the purified water path and regulating a flow rate of water in the recirculation path to fulfill one or more predetermined criteria of the purified water in the purified water path, based on the at least one detected fluid property. The present disclosure also relates to a computer program and a computer program product implementing the method.
