Abstract: A method and apparatus for priming an extracorporeal blood system. The extracorporeal blood system includes an arterial blood line, a venous blood line, a pump segment for interaction with a peristaltic blood pump of the apparatus and a blood treatment unit. A port of the venous blood line is connected to a venous blood port of the blood treatment unit. A port of the arterial blood line is connected to an arterial blood port of the blood treatment unit. The extracorporeal blood system is connected to a reservoir containing priming liquid. The non-occluded extracorporeal blood system is subsequently filled with priming liquid and, after filling with priming liquid, the pump segment is automatically occluded by a blood pump.

Abstract: An extracorporeal blood treatment machine includes a blood treatment device, a conveying device for conveying blood through the blood treatment device, and a connection mask designed to interchangeably receive a tube set in a predefined arrangement. The tube set has pressure-monitoring lines that branch off from the tube set and can be connected to pressure sensor connections located on the connection mask. The pressure sensor connections are spaced apart and positioned so as to match the tube set such that, when the tube set is mounted in the predefined arrangement on the connection mask, each pressure-monitoring line, owing to its limited length and the predefined arrangement of the associated branch on the blood treatment machine, can be connected exclusively to only one of the pressure sensor connections. A corresponding tube set is used with the extracorporeal blood treatment machine.

Abstract: A dialysis machine with machine-internal fluidics for dialysis fluid and a housing that at least partially encapsulates the fluidics, wherein the fluidics comprise an input line for fresh dialysis fluid to a dialyzer and an output line for used dialysis fluid from the dialyzer, each line equipped at their end sides with a connection port for a releasably coupling with the dialyzer, wherein the port of the input line and the port of the output line are each formed as a coupling integrated into the housing.
