Abstract: A method for emptying a blood circuit of an apparatus for the extracorporeal treatment of blood after interrupting a treatment session. The apparatus has a blood treatment device with first and second compartments separated by a semi permeable membrane, an arterial pipe connected to an inlet of the first compartment, a venous pipe connected to an outlet of the first compartment and a second end, and a used liquid circuit having a drain pipe connected to an outlet of the second compartment. The method involves the closing of the blood circuit on itself. The blood circuit includes the arterial pipe, the first compartment of the blood treatment apparatus, and the venous pipe, in order to form a closed loop circuit after the arterial and venous pipes have been disconnected from the vascular system of the patient. The blood circuit contains a liquid, which is transferred from the closed loop circuit into the used liquid circuit.

Abstract: A dialysis machine comprises: means for calculating (60) a filtration factor (FF) as a function of the ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and of a plasma flow rate (Qp); first comparison means (65) for comparing the filtration factor (FF) with a limit value of admissibility; and signaling means (70) for generating a signal (A) indicating the result of the comparison.

Abstract: A method for preparing a medical liquid from a liquid, such as water, and two concentrated solutions comprises the following steps: circulating the liquid in a conduit (15), at a flowrate Q0; injecting into the conduit (15), at a flowrate Q1, a first concentrated solution containing a first ionic substance A and a second ionic substance B, the ionic substances A and B having, respectively, in the first concentrated solution, a concentration [Asol] and a first concentration [B1sol]; injecting into the conduit (15), at a flowrate Q2, a second concentrated solution containing the first ionic substance A and the second ionic substance B, the first ionic substance A having, in the second concentrated solution, the same concentration [Asol] as in the first concentrated solution, and the second ionic substance B having, in the second concentrated solution, a second concentration [B2sol] different than the first concentration [B1sol] in the first concentrated solution; regulating the injection flowrate Q1 and the

Abstract: An infusion control device controls infusion of a liquid in an extracorporeal blood circuit having an arterial pipe connected to an inlet of a blood compartment of a filter and a venous pipe connected to an outlet of the blood compartment. The arterial pipe is also connected to a pre-dilution pipe of an infusion circuit, and the venous pipe is also connected to a post-dilution pipe of said infusion circuit. The infusion control device regulates and distributes an infusion flow rate in the arterial and venous pipes based on a monitoring of quantities that are directly correlated with the operating conditions of the filter.

Abstract: A dialysis machine includes an extracorporeal blood circuit having an arterial pipe and a venous pipe respectively connected to an inlet and an outlet of a blood compartment of a filter. The blood compartment and a dialysis liquid compartment of the filter are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. The machine is configured to determine a sequence of infusion of a liquid in the extracorporeal blood circuit, from at least one characteristic value correlated with the concentration of the blood and/or a filtration efficiency of the filter, and to infuse the infusion solution in the arterial pipe and in the venous pipe in accordance with the determined infusion sequence.
