Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a method for preparing an extracorporeal blood circuit for its use in a blood treatment of a patient, which treatment is carried out using a blood treatment apparatus and using a blood treatment device, which comprises a blood chamber and a dialysate chamber partitioned off therefrom by a membrane, The method comprising: filling the extracorporeal blood circuit using a priming solution, wherein the priming solution comprises citrate, or filling of the extracorporeal blood circuit using a priming solution and using a citrate solution. The invention further comprises devices suitable for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A tube set for a blood handling apparatus, in particular an extracorporeal blood handling apparatus with an extracorporeal blood circuit or an apparatus for peritoneal dialysis, and a blood handling apparatus that has such a tube set are described. The tube set includes a device for collecting particles provided in a tube line portion of the tube set downstream of the tube portion placed in the occluding hose pump. The device for collecting particles prevents retention of solid substances that are possibly contained in the dialysis fluid, substituate or peritoneal solution. The tube set also has a device for limiting the pressure in the tube line portion between the occluding hose pump and the device for collecting particles. The device for limiting the positive pressure prevents an excessive positive pressure from building up in the tube line when fluid flow through the device for collecting particles is reduced or interrupted.

Abstract: This document relates to bi-carbonate-buffered dialysis solutions with physiological phosphate content and increased stability. The solutions include an organic ester of phosphoric acid, calcium ions and/or magnesium ions, and optionally additional electrolytes, buffers and glucose in physiologically effective concentrations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dialysis device (1) having a dialysate circuit comprising a first dialyzer (3) and a second dialyzer (5) wherein the first dialyzer (3) is connectable to a blood circulation of a patient via a blood feed line (11) and a recirculation (13), an effluent for a retentate flow (Qeffluent) from the dialysate circuit to the second dialyzer (5) is provided and a permetate stream (Qout) of the second dialyzer (5) in the dialysate circuit is passed to the first dialyzer (3), the second dialyzer (5) comprising a filter membrane having a cut-off value of at least 500 Da and the first dialyzer (3) comprising a filter membrane having a cut-off value exceeding that of the second dialyzer (5).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling or regulating an apparatus for extracorporeally treating blood in an extracorporeal blood circuit while adding citrate and calcium for the purpose of anticoagulation. The apparatus comprises a dispensing device for dispensing a calcium solution into the extracorporeal blood circuit. The method encompasses outputting a signal to the dispensing device for altering a setting of the dispensing device, in which the setting corresponds to or effects an addition of calcium, a calcium dosage, concentration, amount or rate. The method further encompasses defining or altering the signal with regard to a calcium content or a calcium concentration of a substituate solution used in extracorporeally treating the blood, and detecting the range of values of permissible or allowed settings for the calcium introduced or to be introduced into the extracorporeal blood circuit by the dispensing device, particularly its amount, concentration or dosage.
