    摘要: A dialysis device having an extracorporeal blood circuit which has an arterial line having a blood pump and an arterial needle for connection to a patient, a venous line having a venous needle for connection to a patient and a dialyzer arranged between the arterial line and the venous line and having a blood chamber and a dialysis fluid chamber is provided. The dialysis device furthermore has a control unit and an extracorporeal blood pressure sensor which is arranged at the suction side of the blood pump. The control unit is configured such that a signal output takes place which indicates the presence of recirculation when a change in the signal of the sensor following a trigger event exceeds a threshold value.

    摘要: A dialysis machine has a blood circuit, a blood pump, a dialyzer, a venous pressure sensor, a substituate line, and a control unit. The control unit can operate the blood pump in a first operating mode and in a special operating mode, and start the special operating mode after a trigger event. In the special operating mode, a blood pump conveying rate is controlled via a default value or regulated to a desired value, with the default or desired value being derived from a value determined before the started special mode or corresponding to the value. The presence of an obstacle is polled before the special mode, and depending on the presence thereof, the start of the special mode is blocked or delayed and/or the selection of the default value or the desired value on the presence of the obstacle differs from the selection without the presence of the obstacle.

    摘要: A dialysis machine has at least one filter for the filtration of dialysis liquid and a device for determining calcification of the dialysis machine. The device has one or more sensors configured and arranged to detect either downstream, or upstream and downstream, of the at least one filter an ion concentration or a parameter representative of the ion concentration or of its change of the dialysis liquid, of a solution serving the decalcification or of another measuring solution. The device for determining the calcification of the dialysis machine has an evaluation or calcification unit configured to determine the calcification of the dialysis machine based on the ion concentration or parameter value detected by the sensor or sensors.
