Dialysis machines comprising a feed arrangement to supply a dialysis fluid to a dialyzer during dialysis treatment and a return arrangement to remove the dialysis fluid from the dialyzer during dialysis treatment and forward it to an exit; a feed recirculation circuit to allow a fluid of the feed arrangement to be re-circulated in a fluid loop path comprising, at least a portion of, the feed arrangement and the feed recirculation circuit and a return recirculation circuit to allow a fluid of the return arrangement to re-circulate in an auxiliary fluid loop path comprising, at least a portion of, the return arrangement and the return recirculation circuit. A controller configured to perform disinfection by re-circulating a disinfectant and/or a heated fluid through said fluid loop path and/or through said auxiliary fluid loop path. The dialysis machine further comprises a feed forward arrangement connected to the fluid loop path and arranged to enable a fluid of the feed arrangement to be forwarded to the exit by-passing the auxiliary fluid loop path.

It is described an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus (1) with a user interface (12) device capable configuring and allowing execution of one or more isolated ultrafiltration tasks during the course of a dialysis treatment. The extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus (1) is controlled in a normal mode, where dialysis fluid is fed to the blood treatment unit (2), and in an isolated ultrafiltration mode, where fresh dialysis fluid is no longer fed to the blood treatment unit (2).

The invention relates to a degasser manifold and a vent manifold for use with a degasser in a dialysis system. The degasser manifold and vent manifold include a plurality of fluid passageways that convey dialysate or gases into and out of the degasser. The degasser manifold and vent manifold can also include components such as valves and sensors for control over the degassing of dialysate.

The invention relates to a control unit (30) for detecting an overshoot of a first limit value (G1) of a first blood concentration (B1) in a first portion (17a) of a dialysate discharge line (17) downstream of a dialysate chamber (7) of a dialyser (4) of a blood treatment device and upstream of a node point (110) at which a bypass line (100) bypassing the dialyser (4) leads into the dialysate discharge line (17), wherein the bypass line (100) branches off, upstream of the dialysate chamber (7), from a dialysate supply line (15) suitable for supplying dialysate from a dialysate source (16) to the dialysate chamber (7).

The disclosed subject matter relates to extracorporeal blood processing or other processing of fluids. Volumetric fluid balance, a required element of many such processes, may be achieved with multiple pumps or other proportioning or balancing devices which are to some extent independent of each other. This need may arise in treatments that involve multiple fluids. Safe and secure mechanisms to ensure fluid balance in such systems are described.

There is provided a blood purification apparatus with which the efficiency of dialysate purification can be improved and the reduction in the amount of electrolytes contained in dialysate and necessary for treatment can be suppressed. The blood purification apparatus includes a storage device capable of storing a predetermined amount of dialysate that is necessary for blood purification treatment, a dialysate circulation line through which the dialysate is allowed to circulate by introducing the dialysate in the storage device into the dialyzer and draining waste liquid from the dialyzer into the storage device, and the dialysate purification device that purifies the dialysate in the dialysate circulation line. A treatment state in which the dialysate is allowed to be introduced into the dialyzer without flowing through the dialysate purification device and a purification state in which the dialysate is allowed to be purified by the dialysate purification device are taken switchably.
