  • Publication number: 20210077697
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a container comprising a connection portion allowing for an easy, efficient and more hygienic connection of the container to a fluid dosing unit of a blood treatment device. According to the present invention the fluid dosing unit comprises a valve that fluidically closes the fluid dosing unit if no container is connected to the fluid dosing unit and that opens the fluid dosing unit upon connection of a container to the fluid dosing unit. Thus, undesired spillages potentially arising upon disconnection of the container from the fluid dosing unit can be avoided.
