Abstract: A dialysis machine has a dialyzer (D), a water inlet system for supplying the dialyzer (D) with fresh dialysis fluid which is connected to the dialyzer and an external water supply and with a line for used dialysis fluid, which is in communication with the dialyzer (D). The water inlet system includes a container for water or other liquid, in particular for RO water. The dialysis machine includes a heat exchanger connected with the line for used dialysis fluid and with the water inlet system so that heat is transferred from the used dialysis fluid to the liquid present in the water inlet system. The container includes means for physical separation of the external water supply and the downstream portions of the water inlet system, preferably a free-fall path for incoming liquid from the water supply, and the heat exchanger is arranged downstream of the container.

Abstract: A blood treatment device includes a heat exchanger having a first space and a second space, with a first fluid flowing through the first space and a second fluid flowing through the second space. The heat exchanger has a membrane which separates the first space from the second space, with the membrane forming a component of a capacitor having two capacitor plates, between which the membrane is located. A monitoring means is connected to the capacitor, and is configured to detect an electrical property of the capacitor, for the purpose of detecting a fluid leak from the first space to the second space.

Abstract: A container for dialysis concentrates, in particular acidic dry concentrates, has integral supporting elements. When these dry concentrates are dissolved directly by a dialysis machine to form liquid concentrates, the container must provide a volume of 4-12 liters. To impart the required stability to the container, the container includes the integral supporting elements, which manifest their supporting function only when the container is used on the dialysis machine.
